Wearing jeans is nice.
Wearing your favourite shoes is great.
Wearing both at the same time is awesome.
The question is: How do you know what shoes to wear with jeans?
Knowing this will not just make you look good. It will make you look really good.
Does this sound like something for you?
Well, then you’ve come to the right place. In this tutorial I’ll show you the 10 dress and casual men’s shoes …
… that happen to be the perfect shoes to wear with jeans. Let’s jump straight in.
The 10 Shoes to Wear With Jeans
First of all, let me tell you the most important thing about jeans:
Darker jeans have a much dressier look than lighter jeans. This, combined with the casual nature of denim, means that you can wear dark jeans with almost any type of shoes.
There are a couple of shoes that will look too dressy. Don’t despair; I’ll get to those shoes in a bit.
But first:
Here are the 10 shoes to wear with jeans in dark washes.
Sneakers
Sneakers with jeans is a proven casual look. Just to make it clear,
we’re not talking about technical sneakers, such as the signature
sneakers of LeBron James …
… or the latest running shoes from Salomon. IMAGE SOURCE: SALMONON SPEEDCROSS – ZALANDO.COM; NIKE LEBRON NBA 2K14 – SPORTINGNEWS.COMGood sneakers to wear with jeans should be classics. Like Chuck Taylors from Converse and the Authentic model from Vans. In other words, lace-up canvas sneakers with a low top.

To wear these men’s shoes with jeans successfully, the occasion needs to be somewhat casual.
If you have a dress code at work, casual Fridays would be the only
time to wear these to the office. Otherwise, sneakers and jeans are
perfect for:
Weekends
Bar-hopping
Dates
Eating out
Everyday activities
To really nail it when wearing sneakers with jeans, make sure you match the colour of your socks with that of your pants (no white tennis socks here).
To learn more about matching sock colour and which socks to buy, click here and check out my men’s sock tutorial.
Also, if it’s a warm summer day …
… try sporting sneakers without socks, like you do when wearing shorts.
If you find it uncomfortable for any reason, put on a pair of no-show
socks, also called ‘sneaker socks’. Unlike ankle socks, these look
great. Because they don’t show at all (wink).
Speaking of shoes that can be worn without socks …
… slip-ons are perfect.
Slip-Ons
When it comes to slip-ons, you basically have three choices:
Leather loafers
Canvas loafers
Boat shoes
Slip-ons are just the thing if in the summer. Especially if you’re
looking for some nice black or brown casual shoes to wear with jeans. IMAGE SOURCE: BOAT SHOES, CANVAS LOAFERS, LEATHER LOAFERS – ZALANDO.COM
By the way, brown shoes looks better with blue jeans than black
jeans. That’s because brown is a warm colour and don’t match cool black.
Blue on the other hand can be a neutral (neither cool nor warm) colour
and looks great with brown …
… unlike black shoes which can be worn with both blue and black jeans.
Leather Loafers
Anyway, to get the most out of slip-on footwear, choose loafers or
moccasins in leather. They handle suits and jeans equally well. But,
they don’t lend themselves to business or dressy occasions where lace-up
shoes are preferred.
Common types are horsebit, tassel, and penny loafers. IMAGE SOURCE: GUCCI HORSEBIT LOAFERS – GUCCI.COM; TASSEL LOAFERS, PENNY LOAFERS – ZALANDO.COM
A thing that’s worth knowing is that, according to the book Gentleman …
… welted loafers are superior to moccasins. Both shoes are made a bit differently:
Loafers have soles and uppers made from separate pieces of
material. Whereas moccasins have soles and uppers made from the same
piece of leather.
You should also know that for casual and everyday wear …
… canvas loafers are a good alternative to sneakers.
Canvas Loafers
With their summer feel, canvas loafers look great with pinrolled jeans (learn how to pinroll jeans here) plus a polo or a collared shirt with rolled-up sleeves.
Boat Shoes
Boat shoes are equally as casual as canvas loafers. As the name
implies, these shoes were originally used when boating. A non-slip,
non-marking sole and water-resistant waxed leather make them perfect for
this.
Today they have become classic casual wear, no longer reserved for
the docks. Boat shoes are great shoes to wear with jeans. This type also
looks good with chinos if you prefer something preppier than denims.
