If you’re new to sneaker land and want to know exactly how to style them, then keep reading because I’m kicking off lesson #1: The dos and don’ts of wearing sneakers with jeans.
Dos.
Show some ankle.
Yes, I’m aware that Gen Z has banned no-show socks and showing your ankles, but as someone who is close to 30, I’m not taking fashion advice from the youth. Showing a little ankle is a great way to create balance in an outfit, think cropped jeans with a pair of Adidas Sambas. It also lets the shoe shine, so perfect if your sneakers make a statement.
If your sneakers have a platform, wear longer-length jeans.
If you prefer a chunkier sole on your sneaker then you need to get yourself a pair of wide-leg, long jeans. There’s something so edgy and street about your sneaker peaking out from underneath the hem of your oversized jeans.
