No matter how hard we may try to think outside the box, it’s likely (in any season) that a good portion of our outfits will end up involving jeans. At least mine do, and I don’t mind it because, well, I love them, and I feel like most people reading this probably do, too. I mean, who doesn't?
With this in mind, I figured we could all use a little lesson in the best footwear to pair with our beloved denim for spring. After all, a little update never hurt anybody. From flat sandals to heels, below, I’ve compiled the five must-have shoe categories for a functional and forward-feeling wardrobe. Some of them are on my wish list, others in my cart, and perhaps one or two have already made their way into my closet. To see and shop all the shoe styles that made the cut, just keep scrolling.
Loafers
A classic.
This grandma-inspired style might be my favorite.
Chains make anything cooler right now.
