Sneakers and jeans are versatile pieces of clothing. However, combining jeans with sneakers can be a little confusing! Tight jeans might look great when paired with low top sneakers, but they might look weird when paired with retro high top sneakers. When pairing jeans with sneakers, you need to consider several factors, such as the length and style of the jeans, the height of the shoes, the color and pattern, and the level of formality. However, with careful planning, you can create a gorgeous mix of jeans and sneakers.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Creating a Casual Look
Step 1. Pair regular fit or slim fit jeans with sporty sneakers for a more casual look
This combination almost always looks great. Plus, you can wear this combination for a variety of situations: meeting friends, going to a concert, visiting a park, and much more.
Step 2. Wear a pair of monochromatic jeans and sneakers for a more classic look
One of the advantages of looking with a matching color is that you will always go with style. Pair black jeans with black sneakers, or white jeans with white sneakers. You can also wear black jeans with white sneakers, or white jeans with black sneakers. Try experimenting with unique color shades, such as dark gray, light gray, or light brown for a more modern classic look.
- For example, you can combine dark gray jeans with black sneakers, or light gray jeans with white sneakers.
- If you want to look more daring, try pairing jeans with sneakers of a similar color!
Step 3. Pair wide-cut jeans with low top sneakers for a retro or boho look
If you want to dress in a retro or vintage style, this method is quite easy to apply! Choose jeans that fit around the waist and thighs, but are loose at the calves. After that, wear classic low top canvas sneakers.
To complete this look, wear a printed or vintage T-shirt and tuck it into your pants. You can also wear clothes with materials that fall easily (flowy)
Step 4. Wear sneakers that can add color and highlight your style
Choose jeans that are solid colors, such as dark or light blue, white, or black. After that, wear sneakers in a bright color or a flashy pattern. Show off those cool shoes you've been wanting to wear for a long time!
Step 5. Pair high top sneakers with straight or regular fit jeans
These jeans are quite loose when worn and not too tapered. That's why these jeans won't collide with high top sneakers. By wearing these jeans, you can cover the top of the shoe. In addition, you can also fold the jeans up so that all parts of the shoe are clearly visible. Either way, you'll still look great!
Step 6. Fold the jeans to reveal the sneakers and create a modern look
Folding up your jeans can help create a modern silhouette and draw attention to the sneakers you're wearing. In addition, this method can also be used when you want to wear shorter jeans but don't have time to visit a tailor. Make the first pleat of the jeans 2.5 cm long, then repeat to make the second fold. When folding jeans, your main goal is for the leg holes to be above the ankles.
Don't fold your jeans more than twice. If you fold too much, the bottom of the jeans will look too thick. If your pants are still too long after you've folded them twice, you may need to visit a tailor
Step 7. Wear short or hidden socks for a neater look
While it's okay to wear long socks, most people prefer hidden socks when wearing low top sneakers. If you want your socks to be invisible to others, try hidden socks. These socks can generally be purchased at most shoe stores. These socks are generally sold with a choice of a few sizes (small, medium, or large). Therefore, you will need to try on several different sizes of socks to make the right choice for your shoes and preferences.
When wearing high top sneakers, choose socks that cover the top of the ankles so the skin doesn't blister. Therefore, do not use short socks when wearing high top sneakers
Step 8. Wear unique socks to make your appearance more colorful
If you must wear socks, choose socks with unique patterns or bright colors. Take advantage of the open space between your shoes and jeans to highlight your uniqueness!
Method 2 of 2: Make Your Jeans and Sneakers Look More Charming
Step 1. Pair dark or black jeans with neutral-colored sneakers
In some places, such as an office or a fancy restaurant, you may need to style your jeans and sneakers to make it look more formal. In general, the higher the formality of a place, the darker the color of the jeans should be. When wearing dark jeans, choose sneakers in neutral colors (white, black, gray, and brown).
To make the sneakers look more professional, don't wear sneakers with dramatic designs. Choose sneakers in a solid or matching pattern color. Choose jeans that are not faded, worn, or ripped
Step 2. Make your jeans and sneakers look more stunning by wearing a neat shirt and a fitted blazer
One way to make jeans and sneakers look classier is to wear a formal top. This is done to balance the casual feel of the bottoms you wear. This display is very versatile. This look can be worn in a number of situations, seasons, colors and styles. Make this look your fashion staple!
Step 3. Choose slim fit or skinny fit jeans when wearing low top sneakers for a neater and more attractive look
This look will always look fashionable and can be worn at events with clothing provisions that are more than casual. You can dress up much quicker if you have one or two of these jeans in your wardrobe, especially if you have sneakers that go well with the jeans.
Step 4. Choose sneakers with high-quality materials such as leather or suede
Most casual sneakers are made of textiles, such as cotton or polyester, or synthetic materials. However, the more formal sneakers are made of high-quality materials and are quite expensive. In addition, these sneakers are also more durable.
- Since these shoes are generally quite expensive, choose a color and pattern that matches the variety of pants you have. Black or other dark neutral colors are generally good choices. White or light brown shoes can also be chosen.
- You don't have to spend a fortune on formal sneakers (or jeans). Try visiting a thrift store near you or search the internet for discounts. In the end, you can find something that fits your needs.
Step 5. Make sure the formal sneakers are kept clean so they look great when worn
While it's okay to leave the sneakers you normally use for exercise, you can leave them a little dirty, you certainly don't want any dirt to stick to the sneakers you normally wear to work. If your sneakers get dirt on them, clean them by soaking them in water. After that, gently wipe the sneakers with a cloth or brush. Allow the shoes to dry completely before wearing.
Step 6. Don't wear high top sneakers when you want to look formal
High top sneakers generally look more sporty and will not be suitable when worn to formal events. Wear high top sneakers when exercising.
Tips
- Be proud of your style! No matter what trends are popular right now, wear clothes that make you feel comfortable and confident.
- Choose jeans that are a little tight when wearing sneakers. In general, sneakers are smaller and thinner than other shoe models. Therefore, sneakers will look more charming when combined with slightly tighter pants.
- Choose jeans with the right size. If you have a measuring tape, you can determine the right size of jeans for you. You can also be measured at most clothing stores or at a tailor.
