I Know You’re Stylish If You Pair Your White Jeans With One of These 6 Shoe Colours

I don’t know about you, but jeans stay in heavy rotation in my wardrobe all year round. Maybe it’s the Gen-Zer in me, or perhaps it’s because I’m a denim-obsessed fashion editor, but I genuinely can’t think of a bottom that looks and feels better than a great pair of denim. With enough pairs in my collection to last a lifetime (the last count was 28), I always have plenty of styles to choose from, but there’s one specific wash I reach for as soon as the weather warms. You love them, I love them—it can only be white jeans.

Now, trust me when I say this: not all jeans are created equal. But with their luxe-looking wash, crisp finish and timeless feel, it’s no surprise white jeans are often reached for by fashion people across the globe come summertime. But the ever-complex question remains: what shoes do you pair with them to keep them feeling fresh and looking elegant? Depending on the shape, style and cut, shoe choices can sometimes be tricky when pairing with your whites because almost everything works; however, not everything exudes that effortless elevation that I’m aiming for with all my summer looks.

So, this year I’ve taken it upon myself to answer this very question, and after countless hours scrolling through my white denim-filled feed, I’ve finally found the six chicest shoe colours that look the best with white jeans. Get inspired by the looks below and shop the chicest white jeans and the shoe colour combos for summer 2025.

The Most Stylish Shoe Colours to Pair With White Jeans:

1. White

Style Notes: If there’s one thing Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is good at (outside of being a mother of two and multi-faceted businesswoman), it’s looking chic in a pair of white jeans. Her monochromatic white-on-white ensemble stopped me in my tracks as it gave a resounding yes to the age-old question: Can you wear white jeans with white shoes? Finishing the look with an oversized off-white bomber and taupe Margeaux bag from The Row, she proves that there’s nothing better than a coordinated moment.

2. Black

Style Notes: Take it from me—if there's one way to elevate an outfit, it's with a black ballet flat. A classic colour choice that never dates, it's a style we editors atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing UK return to time and again when we're after a shade that works with absolutely everything. Ever the stylish dresser, Salome Mory proves the versatility of black by pairing her flats with white jeans, a black belt, a navy jumper and a raffia tote—a combination I never knew I needed until I saw it via Instagram.

3. Beige

Style Notes: Remember when I said white jeans work year-round? Well, here’s the proof. Layered under a bubble skirt and a black halterneck with white trim, she creates an outfit that works, regardless of the weather. With the white jeans bringing a fresh contrast, they give Amaka Hamelijnck's look an undeniably elevated feel, especially when finished with a pair of inconspicuous beige flip-flops, a style that has been trending all summer long. An unexpected pairing that just works, it’s also the perfect way to show off your summer pedi!

4. Blue Trainers

Style Notes: For me, white jeans and trainers are a match made in heaven. A failsafe combination that always has a cool edge, it creates a look that is as stylish as it is practical, especially with London's unpredictable weather. If you’re looking for how to style, take notes from our very own Florrie Alexander and sandwich your white jeans between blue iterations for a look that looks effortlessly refined.

5. Olive Green

Style Notes: In years past, I’d always overlooked the olive green shade; it always felt like it could be hard to style with other capsule wardrobe pieces, but in recent months, I’ve realised it's truly one of summer 2025's most versatile shades. Why? Because the colour will perfectly balance any outfit, especially one with white jeans. Case in point, Miriam Melenchon. Trust me, you’ll be surprised just how well this shade works with white!

6. Red

Style Notes: Could I highlight sophisticated shoe colours that pair well with white jeans without talking about the red? The much-loved colour has made waves all year long after popping up in the spring/summer 2025 runway shows from designers like Bottega Veneta, Louis Vuitton and Ferragamo and has shown no signs of slowing down. As the weather cools, look to Marylin and coordinate your jumper with your shoes for a look that is chic as it is carefree.
