It's no secret that jeans and sneakers are a match made in heaven. The combination has long been a go-to for women when they want to be comfortable but still look polished, and it's safe to say that it's never going out of style. That said, there are some types of denim to wear with sneakers that are more successful than others, and we're here to make them known.
We looked to the style of the streets to prove that seven jean styles in particular are worn the most by fashion girls when donning their sportiest footwear. When worn with sneakers, these jeans look even cooler and more effortless than you could image. Many of these styles may already be hanging in your closet but just in case, we selected some of our favorite denim pieces on the market and some new kicks to wear with said denim. Read on for your denim lesson of the day and shop the goods.
