Four ways to wear jeans and heels
A while back, a reader suggested I write about wearing jeans and heels. Since my daily uniform generally consists of this combo, I figured a post weighing in on the trend was long overdue! I’m so excited to share four ways I pair the ultimate casual staple with heels.
I always pair loose fitting boyfriend jeans with classic heels like pointed toe pumps. The key to avoiding a sloppy look is balancing the masculine denim with feminine heels. Classic, simple shoes are your best bet — avoid platforms and complicated embellishments. I recommend a clean, tall cuff with the fold grazing the backs of the heels.

I try to keep things extremely simple with patterned denim, pulling one color (here, nude) from the print to coordinate with the heels.
Don’t be afraid to let the lining show, I think it keeps things interesting and helps dress down the heels.
A small cuff also creates a natural break between the pattern and heels, all while showing off your ankles!
You have plenty of creative range with skinny jeans. This popular fit is much less complicated than other shapes, naturally lending itself to a wide range of heel styles — classic pumps, sling backs, ankle straps and booties. I love haphazardly cuffing my skinnies to add intrigue to the traditional fit (even if the hems are uneven) and to dress down structured heels.
