1. Wear the right type of jeans
Lahat ng jeans ay casual, pero mayroon sa mga ito ay mas dressier kumpara sa iba. Kung mahilig ka sa jeans, opt for dressier variety.
Ang distressed jeans, jeans with holes, at jeans with a lighter wash ay mga ultra-casual at hindi ba-bagay sa dress shoes. Sa halip, opt for denim that fits well sa baywang at balakang. Watch the length of the jeans and see to it that they are not too long.
Piliin ang jeans that have a more tapered fit at the bottom. Ang boot cut jeans ay hindi bagay it-erno sa dress shoes.
Piliin ang slim o regular cut ng jeans. Sa kulay, mas safe at mas may dating ang dark indigo jeans or even a black pair.
It may surprise you but colored denim – provided it is the right fit and length – can work with black or dark brown dress shoes.
Ang main thing lang dito, make sure that there is enough contrast sa pagitan ng shoes at jeans so they do not appear to match exactly.
2. Wear the right type of shoes
Sa fashion, it’s not just the jeans that play a part in making sure that your whole ensemble works kaya dapat maging mai¬ngat talaga sa pagporma.
It is equally important to be mindful of the dress shoes that you choose.
Sa pagpili ng dress shoes, doon ka sa pares that leans more on the casual side.
Ang Oxford shoes ay magandang dress shoes pero mapapansing they are on the more formal end of the spectrum and will therefore not work with jeans.
Ang better style para rito ay ang Blucher, Loafer o ang Derby dress shoe style.
Mapapansin din sa shape, construction and vamp placement ng mga sapatos na ito, these lend a more casual vibe kumpara sa Oxfords.
Ang iba pang options for shoes include monk straps, dessert boots, chukkas and slip-ons that will work beautifully when paired with jeans.
3. Balance other elements of your outfit
Ang bagay na dapat tandaan dito, even though you’re wearing jeans – the fact you’ve thrown in dress shoes as your foundation means you need to elevate the whole look.
A t-shirt or sweatshirt just isn’t going to cut it.
Ibalanse lang ang dating with a well-fitted collared button down or dress shirt.
Keep your accessories simple.
Consider completing your ensemble with a hat – nasa confidence lang naman iyan, if you are confident that you can pull that off, and if wearing the above mentioned dress shirt, consider a wool or woven necktie.
