Jeans and sport shoes is an unsafe combination, however, for a number of reasons, it can be difficult to find the perfect combination. With so many denim cuts and stitches on the market, who can say which two styles go best together? For us, it’s all about proportions and creating the perfect harmony between opposing styles. Let us explain.
For example, let’s say you’re wearing a cropped, straight-waisted pair of jeans. A slim high-top like the Converse All Stars will hug your ankle and tuck under the hem nicely. Also, turtlenecks will go better with skinny jeans that hug your calves and ankles and meet at the top of the shoe (almost as if you’re tucking jeans into sneakers). . If you opt for a pair of ankle-length cropped jeans, your tried-and-true white leather t-shirt is an ideal companion.
In the case of a loose-fitting jean, like a wide leg or loose fit, you’ll need a pair of weighted sneakers for balance. ONE chunky “dad” style or throwback heritage sneakers like the classic Reebok are our current picks (Scandinavian It girls are big proponents of both styles).
Do you think you understand? Here, we’ve gathered a range of combinations to guide you further, as exemplified by the always smart street style set. Check out the different looks and shop our picks to recreate each pair just the way you like it.
