Loafers were once home shoes, but today they can be seen both on the street and in the office. It's all about convenience. In the traditional model, the foot feels relaxed and comfortable, and the wearer does not have to worry about laces or fasteners. This kind of ease begs for everyday wardrobe items. For example, jeans.
Can loafers and jeans be worn together?
Both items fit within the framework of everyday style and are consistent with typical casual items. They are definitely worth wearing together. For a harmonious image, you just need to choose the right models. Definitely good options:
- moderately skinny jeans (but not overly tight jeggings);
- boyfriends;
- with gates;
- overalls;
- with a loose fit;
- shortened.
The latter can be slightly loose, straight cut or have a slight flare.
Important! Loafers with buckles are the only model that is not recommended to be combined with denim bottoms.
How to combine women's jeans with loafers?
They will be combined with a sweater, a shirt (usually tucked in, but another option is possible), a turtleneck, a tucked-in light jacket or a combination of a T-shirt and cardigan. You can try to create a typical student look or an everyday urban look; emphasized negligence is also acceptable. Her example: slightly baggy boyfriends and a stretched sweater.
A voluminous jacket, a straight-cut coat, a trench coat, a trench coat that does not emphasize the figure, and a leather jacket would be appropriate as the top item of clothing. On a warm autumn or spring day, you can wear a jacket. Its length and cut depend on the overall mood of the ensemble.
Important! Do not exclude short jackets from possible options; they are returning to the wardrobes of fashionistas.
In terms of palette and prints, a check (for example, on a shirt), a horizontal stripe (on knitted items - a sleeveless vest and a sweater), and two-color ripples deserve attention. In general, things in calm shades are recommended.. The monotony of a separate wardrobe item is welcome, but you should not create a total denim look. Dilute denim with other materials.
Examples of successful combinations
- Straight jeans, not cropped. Shirt, sweater. Leather bag that holds its shape well. Patent penny loafers, matching the color of the bag and jacket.
- A plain shirt with a distinctly masculine cut, cropped jeans, a voluminous jacket, and heeled loafers.
- Bottom with a loose fit, tucked in jacket, loose coat with oversized elements (not short, knee-length or slightly below), loafers.
How to combine men's jeans with loafers?
Helpful notes and guidelines:
- a brown pair looks good with both a business suit (white or black) and casual jeans;
- dark brown ones are the only type of loafer whose presence is inappropriate in an everyday look and therefore they are not worn with jeans;
- save light brown ones for casual shirts and light jeans;
- combine black loafers with black jeans;
- The penalty model requires a jacket in addition to denim trousers.
There are no strict rules regarding socks, there are only recommendations that can be violated. One such tip is to wear penny loafers and a tasseled model on your socks. Exception: denim shorts. If they come in the same set with the specified shoes, then they are put on the bare foot. Second guideline: the color of the hosiery products should match the shade of the shoes.
Examples of successful combinations for different occasions
- jeans, a blue shirt, reddish shoes and a belt of the same tone;
- gray loafers, unusual bright-colored jeans (for example, coral or blue), white shirt, tie to match the bottom, jacket of the same color as the shoes;
- a loose T-shirt with horizontal stripes, a very tight-fitting hem (possibly with torn decor), loafers on bare feet, glasses, a belt.
