6 Anti-Trend Shoes Experienced Shoppers Are Wearing With Jeans

If you spend a lot of time in jeans, especially this time of year, you probably put some thought into what shoes to wear with them. Trendy shoes are great and serve their purpose, but time and again, I want to wear classic shoes with jeans. My denim outfits never fail to look polished and elevated when I choose a, well, boring pair of shoes over a flashier one. I know I’m not alone in this mindset, as I regularly see well-dressed women who are clearly experienced shoppers wearing basic, low-key shoes with their jeans.

So far this fall, there are a handful of specific classic shoes that I keep seeing styled with jeans of every type. Each is timeless and elegant, and the following denim outfits are likely to inspire you to swap the latest It shoes for the classics. Scroll on to take them in for yourself and shop the denim-complementing shoe styles in question.

Colorful sneakers are great, but for the cleanest and most elegant look, sleek white ones are the ticket.

Given that fall is in full swing, boots are probably on your mind. Black leather knee-high boots, whether heeled or flat, are the most essential footwear staple. Whether you tuck your jeans, as seen here, or wear wide-leg jeans over the boots, you’ll look like the most experienced shopper.
