#1: Comfortably Climb the Corporate Ladder in Classic Sneakers

In this post at Bustle, Lara Rutherford-Morrison explains that:

"Laid-back people are actually more likely to be successful and happy."

She says it's because "… the human brain experiences heightened creativity when it's relaxed".

001 sneakers with jeansOne way to kick stress is to give your feet a break. Simply wear comfortable, classic sneakers with jeans at home or around the office.

For a proven laid-back look, sneakers are great casual shoes to wear with jeans.

002 jeans with sneakers

Just to be clear, we're not talking about sports shoes, like basketball or running shoes. No need to copy the Jerry Seinfeld look from the 90s.

003 sports shoes with jeans

Here's the reason why we recommend only wearing classic sneakers:

Wearing sports shoes with jeans sends mixed signals.

Making you look more like a dank dad than a great looking guy.

The awesome thing about the classic sneakers-with-jeans outfit: it looks good and doesn't go out of fashion.

004 casual shoes for men to wear with jeans

Hereʼs how to choose the best sneakers with jeans:

Chose classics sneakers like Chuck Taylors from Converse, the Authentic model from Vans, or tennis shoes from large brands like Gant and Hugo BOSS.

They are sneakers you can stick with for years, making it your personal signature.

#2: You Can't Step Wrong When Wearing Dress Shoes With Jeans

Most of you probably own at least one pair of dress shoes. Wearing dress shoes with jeans is so common that we couldn't leave out this look, even though it might seem obvious.

The simplicity of open-lacing dress shoes is what makes them dressy and versatile too. These look just as much at home with a pullover, as a shirt and blazer.

005 what shoes to wear with jeans

If youʼre building a wardrobe from scratch and want to wear black or brown shoes with jeans, it would be wise to buy open-lacing leather dress shoes first.

Hereʼs why open-lacing is a smart choice:

There are two main types of dress shoes:

  1. Open-lacing
  2. Closed-lacing

006 Shoes to wear with jeans

But, only one of these is recommended to wear with jeans.

Closed-lacing shoes have the eyelets tab attached under the vamp.

007 shoes with black jeans

Open-lacing shoes have the piece with the shoe lacing eyelets attached on top of the vamp.

008 mens shoes with jeans

Closed-lacing shoes like oxfords are very dressy. Never wear closed-lacing shoes with jeans, only with chinos and dress pants.

009 Shoes to wear with jeans

Open-lacing shoes, like Derbyʼs, are more versatile. You can wear these with casual and dressy pants, like jeans and suits.

Hereʼs one thing you'll quickly realize when buying dress shoes to wear with jeans:

You've got several details to choose from, for example:

Dress shoes come with different toe shapes and toe options. Some of these details work better than others.

Here you can see what they look like. Also, weʼll give you our two cents on which dress shoes to wear with black jeans and blue jeans.

Picking the Right Toe Cap

When you shop for dress shoes, you'll quickly see that decorations are common.

011 brown shoes with black jeans

If you want a classic look, choose a regular toecap or a plain toe. But if you want to stand out, you have the option of apron and bicycle toes, to name the most classic.

The Best Toe Shapes

The shape of the toe itself is also a thing to consider.

Square and pointy dress shoes are too extreme for us to recommend.

Shoes with chisel toes have a hint of attitude without getting in the way. It's a mix of the square toe and the pointy toe.

012 Shoes to wear with jeansAn all-around, safe option is round-toe shoes. If you're subject to a conservative company dress code, this toe shape is the best choice.

How to Decide on Brown or Black Shoes with Jeans

As for color, you can wear black shoes with blue jeans and black shoes with black jeans.

013 black shoes with blue jeans

Contrary, only wear blue jeans with brown shoes.

014 brown shoes with jeans

Do not wear brown shoes with black jeans. Why? Because black jeans with brown shoes simply don't match.

#3: Donʼt Get Left Out In the Cold, Wear Chelsea Boots

Many men believe that they only need casual shoes and dress shoes.

But the only way to prepare your look and wardrobe for anything, is to add a third type of footwear. Footwear that can cope with rain and snow.

015 shoes to wear with black jeans

So if it's pouring rain, you'll always look more prepared in a pair of boots than in sneakers or dress shoes. And my favorite boot to wear on rainy days are Chelsea boots.

016 mens shoes to wear with jeans

Chelsea boots have a solid pedigree and date back to the Victorian era [the mid-1800s]. These boots come in both plain and suede leather. Both are business-appropriate men's shoes to wear with jeans.

017 men's shoes to wear with jeans

Chelsea boots are higher than Chukkas and Desert boots – which we'll get to in a bit. Instead of laces, Chelsea boots have elastic side panels and tabs or loops on the top of the boot shaft. The tabs make it easier to pull the Chelseaʼs on. The laceless design is excellent since it lets you take your boots on and off, fast.

018 Shoes to wear with jeans

The sole on Chelsea boots are also different from the sole on Desert boots. As with dress-shoe soles, Chelsea soles are made of either stained leather or rubber.

019 nice shoes to wear with jeans

The dark sole gives a dressier look than white soles, such as those of Desert boots. A dark sole also makes footwear easier to take care of. Why? Because you don't have to worry about accidentally staining the sole while polishing your boots.

#4: Handle Harsher Climates in Tough Open-Lacing Boots

If you live in a colder, wetter part of the world, buying low-top shoes to wear with jeans might seem as foreign to you as a night of "Netflix and chill" is to a monk.

Here's the problem with living in harsh climates:

Your footwear must be able to withstand deep puddles and inches of snow on your commute. But you shouldn't look like Bear Grylls while doing so – if you want to look less savage and more civilized.

What you need to do is:

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

Open-lacing boots are perfect for this.

020 best casual mens shoes

They're basically Derby shoes with a high shaft. They keep your feet warm and dry without raising eyebrows at the office.

021 Shoes to wear with jeans

#5: Chukka Boots: The Perfect Footwear for Crisp Days

What if it's not snowing or raining but getting cold out? Chukka boots are also great shoes to wear with jeans.

022 Shoes to wear with jeans

Chukka boots are the perfect spring and autumn boot. Chukkas feel cooler than open-lacing boots. And unlike sneakers or loafers – which we'll talk about next – Chukka boots pair well with coats and jackets.

023 black shoes with jeans

Chukkas usually have two to three pairs of eyelets, a plain or suede leather upper, and a thin leather or rubber sole.

024 Shoes to wear with jeans

This boot's ankle-high design makes it fantastic to wear around laid-back clients. It's also a favorite footwear choice of many men who frequent happy hour for drinks after work.

#6: Have the World at Your Feet in Business-Appropriate Leather Loafers

Are you going someplace new and don't know what footwear to choose?

Well, then our tip is always: wear leather loafers.

025 casual shoes with jeans

Here's why leather loafers are the perfect casual shoes for men to wear with jeans:

These casual slip-on shoes are perfect for hot, dry days. You won't have to worry about breaking any dress codes in leather loafers either. This business-appropriate, yet casual shoes, work just as well at the office as they do when youʼre off the clock.

026 casual men's shoes to wear with jeans

The three most common styles of leather loafers are horsebit, tassel, and penny loafers.

027 what kind of shoes to wear with jeans

Horsebit loafers are the dressiest. Penny loafers are the most low-key and tassel loafers are the most casual of the three.

#7: Instantly Get in a Relaxed Mood with Boat Shoes

The best thing about a day or week off, is not to have your boss breathing down your neck.

According to this post at Brain Fodder:

"Science says that the clothes we wear affect our behavior, attitudes, personality, mood, confidence, and even the way we interact with others."

028 Shoes to wear with jeans

Enclothed cognition is what we call the effect our clothes have on our mood.

We at Apparel Illustrated use enclothed cognition all the time. One of our favorite ways to get into a casual mood in the summer, is to slip on a pair of casual shoes with jeans. And the best casual shoes for men to wear with jeans are boat shoes.

029 Shoes to wear with jeans

Boat shoes are as casual as canvas loafers — which we'll get to next — but preppier.

As the name implies, boat shoes were initially worn in marine environments. A non-slip sole and leather upper make them perfect for wet conditions.

030 jeans with brown shoes

Today, boat shoes are classic casual wear, no longer reserved for the docks. This shoe style also looks good with pinrolled jeans if the occasion requires something extra laid-back.

031 Shoes to wear with jeans

And because of that, boat shoes are one of the best casual menʼs shoes to wear with jeans.

#8: Possibly the Most Convenient Shoes to Wear With Jeans – Canvas Loafers

How many times a day do you run short errands, fetch the mail, go to grab some take-out, or take out the trash?

Wouldn't it be nice to have a pair of shoes that are super-easy to put on and take off? Shoes that are also affordable, casual, and comfortable to wear with jeans?

If this is your case, then canvas loafers might be your white knight.

032 sneakers to wear with jeans

You see, canvas loafers are casual. They also offer the convenience of slip-on styling, unlike sneakers.

Unless youʼre around a pool or at the beach, flip-flops arenʼt acceptable to wear in public. But canvas loafers are. Also, canvas loafers don't cost that much more, and the canvas material lets your feet breathe.

033 casual shoes to wear with jeans

#9: Timeless Desert Boots Won't Leave You Stranded

Have you ever bought a pair of shoes, only to discover soon after that they've already become outdated?

You want to find footwear you can wear for years without fearing sneers.

Fortunately, Nicolas over at KINOWEAR has some good news for busy individuals like you and me. He writes:

"… it's always the most simple and effective items of clothing which have withstood the changing fashions of time. The Desert boot is a perfect example of this winning combination."

034 Shoes to wear with jeans

The shoe company C. & J. Clark. started producing this shoe in the 1950s. And to this day, the winning design of the Desert boot remains true to the original.

035 Desert boots to wear with jeans

Desert boots are similar to Chukka boots, which we just looked at. Yet, unlike Chukkas, Desert boots always have suede uppers and a rubber sole. The latter are also unlined and often lighter in weight.

036 Desert and chukka boots with jeans

This makes the simple, yet classic Desert boot, the safest pair of casual boots to wear with jeans.

037 Desert boots with jeans

#10: Monkstraps: The Perfect Alternative to Dress Shoes

Jim Kass is vice president of operations at Allen Edmonds shoe company.

Kass says in this article from Business Insider:

"The best way to extend the life of your shoes is to rotate your shoes and use quality shoe trees after each wear."

038 Allen Edmonds shoes caption

He continues:

"If you wear the same pair every day, your shoes don't have ample time to dry and they won't maintain their shape."

If you've ever worn dress shoes, you get that they need rest.

The only problem with only wearing dress shoes for just one day is this:

What shoes should you wear on the other days?

Well, this is where the monkstraps come to the rescue.

039 Monkstrap shoes to wear with jeans

Rotating your footwear shows that you're comfortable with many shoe styles. It also shows that you take care of your wardrobe.

Monkstraps are as dressy as classic dress shoes, mentioned earlier. Also, the unique design of monkstraps makes your style look more interesting.

040 Black double-monkstraps with jeans

We distinguish between single- and double-buckle monkstraps.

041 Double vs single buckle monkstraps

If you'll be wearing these to meetings and conferences, here's my advice:

Wear double-buckle monkstraps. These are dressier shoes to wear with jeans than the more laid-back, single-buckle type.

042 black dress shoes with jeans

But if you'll be wearing this look on private occasions, you should know that single-buckle monkstraps are lighter and more flexible to walk in.

#11: Get the Look and Aura of a Greek God in Sandals

Do you want to wear jeans but youʼre dealing with sore feet after walking in your new leather loafers?

What you need is footwear thatʼs comfortable and doesnʼt suffocate your feet.

Sandals with jeans are a great combo for casual occasions and days off.

043 Birkenstock buckle sandals from side

The most common and best sandal to wear with jeans are buckle sandals.

044 Brown birkenstock sandals

Many hate on sandals. This hate is often spurred by wearing them inappropriately.

Sandals are a summer leisure footwear. Therefore, never wear them with dressy clothes, jackets or coats. Occasions that arenʼt leisurely are also out of the question.

To avoid hate when wearing sandals, wear them in the right context and with the right outfit.

045 Sandals with jeans

#12: Give Your Feet the Supercar Experience with Driving Moccasins

Did you know that Italian racing drivers where among the first to use driving moccasins? They used them to get extra grip and dexterity while accelerating, breaking and clutching. Making it easier to go fast through needle pin turns on the Italian Riviera.

046 Driving moccasins from side

Today, driving mocs have become a favorite amongst fashionistas, jet-setters, and influencers. You certainly donʼt need an Italian supercar in your garage to wear these anymore.

047 best shoes to wear with skinny jeans

Driving mocs have a flexible sole that extends up onto the heel. An area that is in constant contact with the floor mat of the car.

048 Driving moccasins heel-piece

The sole also comes in two different styles.

Rubber-dotted:

These have a uniform covering of small, round rubber tabs.

049 Rubber-dotted sole on driving mocs

Separated Pad:

These have larger, flat rubber pads separated by only small areas.

Which one you wear is up to you. All we know is that driving mocs and jeans is a true and tried casual jeans outfit.

#13: Make Killer First Impressions in Brogues

As the cliche goes, you only get one chance to make a killer first impression.

But get this:

Finding business-appropriate shoes to wear with jeans has never been easier.

If we at Apparel Illustrated could wear only one type of shoe other than dress shoes, it would be a brogue shoe.

050 brown dress shoes with jeans

Brogue shoes are not just for chinos and suits. Believe it or not —they are in fact perfect shoes to wear with jeans.

051 full brogue with jeans outfit

Brogues perforated embellishments are what distinguishes them. The degree of decoration ranges from a few details on the toecap, to full decoration from toe to heel.

052 Quarter brogues vs long wings

It doesn't matter that Brogues are as foreign to you as frozen foods are to Gordon Ramsey. You'll serve a killer first impression when you wear brogue shoes with jeans.

We have four different types of Brogues:

Quarter Brogues, half Brogues, full Brogues, and long-wings.

053 four brogue shoes to wear with jeans

  1. Quarter Brogues features decorations on toecap rim, upper and heelpiece.
  2. Half Brogues have decoration on the toecap and along the rim of the upper and heelpiece.
  3. Full Brogues, or wingtips, have toecap decorations that extend back to the middle of the shoe. This creates what looks like wings. These shoes are also decorated along the sides of the upper and heelpiece.
  4. Longwing Brogues have a toecap decoration that extends and wraps all the way around the heel of the shoe. Also, the upper has decoration along the rim.
