How to combine shoes and jeans for different styles?

Business casual style with shoes and jeans

Going for a business casual look while wearing jeans is also not difficult to achieve, but in this case, it’s your shoes that will sell that business casual vibe. For that reason, you would be wise to consider leather sneakers, Chelsea boots, Oxfords or loafers.

Chelsea boots

You can create a casual or a smart casual style by combining your jeans with a pair of Chelsea boots. Choose brown boots for a relaxed yet youthful look or black boots for a slightly classier appearance. However, combining these shoes with jeans is best done when the jeans are at least medium or dark wash blue, even black in some cases.

Loafers

Loafers look quite casual on their own. One might argue loafers are even more casual than some types of sneakers. What that allows you is to have no issues wearing them with jeans. You’ll feel comfortable and look fashionable at the same time.

Oxfords

Oxford shoes are dressy and elegant by nature so naturally, they can be the perfect shoes to combine with jeans when you need to achieve a semi-formal appearance. These are seriously stylish shoes and work incredibly well with dark denim jeans, but wearing them with lighter variations is not out of the picture as well.
