Jeans and sandals: a chic and casual combination

Jeans and sandals – a chic autumn combination

The combination of jeans and sandals, led by Chanel’s iconic two-tone styles, has been a classic since time immemorial on the street style scene, reinvented season after season, as seen, for example, at the latest fashion week in Copenhagen or New York. It’s a smart choice because these shoes are elegant without being formal or sacrificing comfort.

When fall classics like fine knit tops complete the equation, trench or blazer, among fashion insiders the style of this combination is unambiguous: basic, basic and even more basic.

How to Wear a Jeans and Stiletto Pair for Street Style

Wide leg jeans + low Chanel sandals.

Chanel’s two-tone sandals (when they were created in 1957, the color contrast was intended to shorten and streamline the foot) are a timelessly fashionable shoe. Here, in a flat version, they are combined with wide cuffed jeans and a classic black jacket.

Roger Vivier Skinny Jeans + Square Toe Heel

The minimalism of skinny jeans is a “blank canvas” that’s properly accentuated by Roger Vivier’s candy-colored peep-toe pumps and a long pastel pink tweed jacket.

Extra Long Jeans + Pointed Heel Prada

Extra-long, oversized jeans in a light wash pair perfectly with Prada’s pointed-toe peep-toe sandals—here in a soft caramel pink—because they don’t obscure the line or the iconic triangle logo.

Total Jeans + Embellished Stiletto Heel

Amina Muaddi’s satin heeled sandals with jeweled buckles break up the casual monotony of a denim look and are paired with a sparkling Prada bag.

Gray jeans + two-tone Chanel sandals.

Gray jeans, one of the season’s biggest trends, are here in a low-waisted version, paired with original Chanel slingbacks with a comfortable 5cm heel and a matching suede jacket.

Bootcut jeans + heel + sailor shirt

Bootcut jeans and peep-toe sandals paired with a striped sailor shirt make for one of the most timeless outfits. Created by Chanel in 1913, marinor quickly became, and remains to this day, a symbol of seaside chic.

Very long jeans and black and white sandals.

Extra-long, high-waisted jeans in light tones highlight the black-and-white sophistication of Vuitton’s peep-toe heels, creating a contrast of volume, color and style.

Jorts + mid heel

Jorts, knee-length jeans that are much more versatile than shorts, have captured the likes of Gigi Hadid and street style. They also pair very well with smarter clothes such as a jacket, vest and tie, as well as two-tone sandals.
