Madre's Shoe Tips: Shoe to Wear with Skinny Jeans

I guess any fan of skinny jeans would probably have faced this dilemma at least once: we have got a great outfit going with our favourite pair of skinny jeans, but no clue what shoes complete the look. Strappy heels feel too dressy for the occasion, sandals are bulky, and your favourite sneakers don’t fit with it.

I too face that problem almost every day. That’s why I have picked out 8 shoe styles to wear with your favourite tight denim. Each of these shoes would give an equally stylish but very different vibe for your outfit.

So if you’re stuck on not knowing what to wear with your skinny jeans again, remember these styles.

#1. Classic Sneakers

This one is undeniably the go-to style with skinny jeans. Classic lace-up sneakers are a must-have in your wardrobe, especially paired with your favourite blue denim. The definition of casual style for a casual event or even for just running simple errands.

#2. Flat Sandals

For the simple vibe that you’re going for, wear a pair of flat sandals with your favourite skinny jeans. Best look if you’re heading for brunch on a Sunday afternoon or a casual after-work gathering. Neutral sandals work perfectly for a simple look, but it’s fine to amp it up with a statement pair as well.

From Madre: Rika Criss-Cross Cushion Sandal with its thick padded straps, or Sersi Slip-On Sandal for something you can put on without looking down.

#3. Flats

This is a no-brainer, since you might already own a pair that you wear for a simple day at the office. Pair it with your favourite skinny jeans for a sleek and simple vibe. Pick a classic pair for a more polished look, or choose one with fun textures or embellishments.

From Madre: Evelyn Horsebit Flats for the polished version, or Ayra Diamond Ballerina Flats if you want a little sparkle.

#4. Slip-On Sneakers

Hate lacing up your shoes every time? Prefer simpler sneakers? Slip-on sneakers are also a good choice with your favourite skinny jeans. Feel free to experiment with colours and unique prints too, it could give a whole different vibe to your outfit.

If you like slipping a shoe straight on, Lola Bow Slip-On Flats is the Madre version, in a gingham fabric and light enough to pack.

#5. Strappy Heels

For a more elegant vibe, favour classic strappy heels to pair with your blue denim. A great look for a night out or a more casual party. You have the freedom to choose any colour you want, from basic black to something bolder.

From Madre: Lexa Platform Sandal, which gives you the strap detail on a base you can actually walk home in.

#6. Classic Pumps

If you’re going for a simple yet classy look, reach for a pair of classic pumps and wear them with your jeans. Neutral nude or black are always the classic choice, but you could opt for something bolder if you’re looking to make a statement.

From Madre: Clara Slingback Pump Heel at 2 inches, or Vivy Pointed Slingback Heel at 2.5.

#7. Ankle Boots

If you don’t own a pair of these, it is worth getting one just to wear with your favourite skinny jeans. For a fresh look, pick an all-white pair or a textured finish. For a better line, choose a jean that hits right above the top of the boots.

From Madre: Jayla Wedge Boots, with stretchable side panels so slim jeans can tuck in without bunching.

#8. Over-the-Knee Boots

This is the slip-on equivalent of your ankle boots. If you need a break from them, go for a pair of over-the-knee boots. Since skinny jeans are tapered to your leg by design, this boot silhouette is a natural fit for the outfit.

Of the eight above, five have a Madre equivalent. Browse the full range to see which ones match the jeans you already wear most.
