Wear Dress Shoes With Jeans & Look Amazing (5 Rules You MUST Follow)
About this video
Centeno teaches five rules for successfully wearing dress shoes with jeans, a combination he argues can work well when executed skillfully. He covers selecting appropriate dress shoe styles, choosing the right jeans fit and wash, understanding color coordination through the color wheel, matching proportions, and respecting dress codes to ensure the outfit remains appropriate for its context.
Key takeaways
- Centeno recommends avoiding overly formal dress shoes like black oxfords with jeans; instead, opt for casual dress shoe styles such as brogues, bluchers, monk straps, loafers, chukkas, and chelseas
- Centeno advises pairing dark indigo jeans with dress shoes, and notes that blue and brown naturally complement each other; he cautions against stonewashed or heavily distressed jeans that draw attention away from the shoes
- Centeno emphasizes matching proportions between jeans fit and shoe size, and stresses that dress shoes with jeans should not replace a suit for formal or business dress codes
