If you’re a fan of slim-fit jeans
(which we’ll assume you are), you’ve probably faced the following
dilemma at least once during your life: You’ve put together a super-cute
outfit with your favorite pair of your tightest denim, and you have
absolutely no idea what shoes to wear with skinny jeans. Depending on
the occasion, strappy heels might feel too dressy, flat sandals can
sometimes look too bulky, and you feel like you just can’t pull off sneakers.
We get it—so much so that we’ve racked our brains for eight amazing ways to wear a plethora of different shoes with skinny jeans.
Each kind pulls off a very different (but equally stylish) vibe, and
hopefully, these tips will help the next time you’re feeling shoe
stumped. Scroll down for your complete guide to what shoes to wear with
skinny jeans.
1)

| Classic Sneakers |
WHO: Gigi Hadid
WHAT: Arguably the most on-trend shoes at the moment, classic lace-up sneakers
definitely should have a place in your wardrobe, especially when paired
with solid skinny jeans. These work well when you’re having a
super-casual daytime event or simply running errands in a slouchy
T-shirt and jeans.

Flat Sandals |
WHO: Sienna Miller
WHAT: If you’re heading to
brunch or a casual cocktail hour after work, pair your skinnies with a
pair of flat sandals. More-neutral sandals work well with this jean
style to keep your look simpler, but don’t be afraid to step outside the
box in a pair of statement slides as well.

| Flats |
WHO: Olivia Palermo
WHAT: Yes, simple flats
can be more than just the shoes you wear to and from the office every
day. They can also dress up a pair of skinny jeans in a very sleek and
simple way. Opt for classic pairs for a polished look, or embrace
embellishments and fun textures for an instant skinny-jean upgrade.
4)
 |
| Strappy Heels |
WHO: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
WHAT: For prime night-out
appeal, forgo all other shoe options in favor of strappy heels. You have
a lot of freedom here when it comes to color—everything from a simple,
understated black version to a wild pop of colors or prints will
work—but be sure to steer clear of patent and other shiny, potentially
inexpensive-looking fabrics.
5)
 |
| Classic Pointy Pumps |
WHO: Hailey Baldwin
WHAT: If you want a sleek
and easy way to dress up a pair of skinny jeans, definitely reach for
your favorite pair of pointy-toe pumps. Black and nude are always
classic options, but if you want to make more of a statement, definitely
reach for a pop of color like red, snakeskin, or cobalt.
6)
 |
| Ankle Booties |
WHO: Rihanna
WHAT:
Here’s a little-known secret: Ankle boots seem to never be going out of
style. This season, opt for fresh styles like all-white, printed, and
classic black. Fit-wise, you preferably want a jean that hits right
above the top of the boots too.
