You nailed the reason I don't like sneakers with jeans - they look frumpy! Thank you for showing how to pair the type of jeans with the right sneakers!
Being of the generation where your socks were not supposed to show (think high waters or floods), I haven’t been confident that I’m pairing jeans and sneakers properly. 22:49 Thank you for this video!
Pointed toe shoes were in style when I was young. Caused me to have toe problems requiring medical attention. So seeing them fashions again brings back bad memories
It doesn't have to be a super pointed toe. An almond-shaped toe works great as well. You can find comfy shoes that are roomy in the toe box but have a streamlined look. Like these for example: rstyle.me/+rJ0gz8-FACA6ws_osppm8Q
Serena does another video about 2024 shoe trends. In there she recommends for pointed toe boot styles to wear a 1/2 size up to avoid the possibility of squeezed toes in the toe box. I am paraphrasing… 🙃
I always wonder if the shoe component is one reason skinny jeans were popular for so long, you can pretty much wear any shoes with them. I go through the same process with every pair of jeans I have now to see what shoes I can wear with what jeans, it is exhausting. I totally agree with you about gym shoes.
Absolutely LOVE thos video! What doesn't work, what works kind of ok and then the what WORKS *chef's kiss* options. This! We need more of this! Keep doing what you're doing.
Hallelujah! What a great, informative video. Thank you for making it Serena. With all the different, current jean styles this year I really needed this tutorial!
Can’t thank you enough for this video!!!!!! I have struggled with this for years. Now I know how to figure it out. Thank you thank you thank you thank you . . . . . !!!!!!!!!!
I really needed this video! Perfect timing as I am going through my latest purchases and trying to decide what shoes to wear with them. I have a lot of the Chico’s Girlfriend slim straight leg style in different washes and colors, so those are pretty easy as I have to get them hemmed to be at my ankle in the right place. The tricky ones are a pair of Chico’s trouser jeans. I measured the leg opening and they are 18.5 Inches which is a few inches less than most wide legs. I bought the trouser jeans in petite and they are a little short to wear with a pointed toe slim ankle boot (also from Chico’s); however, after watching this video, I will wear them with a pair of lug sole suede loafers from last year that are not clunky, pointed toe flats or a loafer mule. They are long enough that they don’t get caught up in the vamp of the loafers and there is no break in the jean above the instep. I think I was able to answer my question with your video! Am I on the right track here? Would love to know what you would pair with them. As much as I like the boots and they are surprisingly comfortable, I think I will return them as I don’t want to have to buy a bunch of wide leg jeans or flares to go with them. I have mostly slim straight jeans in my closet. Thanks for the great info! It really helps seeing visual examples of what looks good and what doesn’t.
Thank you, now I will finally know which pants to pair with which shoes. Saves so much time! You were right, I often wondered why some looks were skew.
I couldn't agree with you more regarding getting the right pair of shoes and boots with your outfits, and you were spot on with your choices in your video! Huge difference with the right pair of shoes!! I bought those Walmart boots in red, and the color shown in your video before the video was even done😂 I am hoping they are comfortable!!
Love you in the green sweater Serena. Color looks great with your hair. I just discovered you and have always loved fashion, so great to see your picks. Kitten heels remind me of the 80's. Wore them big time back than. Thank you for your channel. ❤
I love that you give us an example of the trial and error! I do that myself and sometimes it's hard to diagnose what's off. I also have those Blondo boots and they are great! I didn't wear them much last year-- traded for pointed and sneakers-- but might bring them out and try them on again :)
This video was jam packed with great information! My head is spinning, but I think this will help me when I’m trying to look less frumpy as a 73 year old woman. Thanks so much, Serena. I love your content.
Really enjoyed this video! So true, the wrong shoe can just ruin a great outfit. I loved the way you showed the difference between a show that works versus one that does not. Keep these type of videos coming! 🙂
Great tips and tricks for wearing boots with our fall/winter jeans. I never leave the house without lugging my shoes or boots to the foyer full length mirror and trying on at least 2, 3, or 4 styles of boots on. You just never know which one might work best. I have all lengths like you & alot of cropped ones too. With full length flare or wide leg it is usually a 3 inch heel boot for me. I bought Dolce Vita Silma western boot at DSW in a nude color, only 5.5 left so with my power step pad in it & a slim thin sock, worked out beautifully for my look today. I was looking for a mule........story of my life, ha! I gave away alot of my shoes & boots to VA drop box the other day. I love these videos so don't stop making them! You do such a great job!!!
I actually liked the skinny jean and boot combo, just not with the cropped sweater. A longer tunic style top would look super cute with the pop of sock and showing off the detail on the boot. You look fabulous in everything Serena!
Hi Serena. Your video caught my attention for the first time this past week and I must admit, I am enjoying it. I appreciate your fashion advice. Your accent is also enjoyable to me. God Bless You.
I get a lot of my shoes from Clark's. They have the support I need for my arch and they have stylish options. I enjoy my shoes. Thanks for the video. I can always use styling help.
Thanks for this information! I’ve always struggled with knowing what to wear with all the different length and leg width jeans. Now I know! Thank you! Also…your makeup is beautiful and so natural in this video! I would love to know what eyeshadow combo and lipstick you are using. Your foundation looks so natural and seamless as well! Maybe an everyday makeup look would be a great video! Yours always looks so nice, polished and never overdone. I notice because I’m very minimal when it comes to makeup but it doesn’t look polished like yours does. :-). Thanks!
@@tonyahicks2302 I have on more makeup than you think! I have to put on more bc the lighting necessary for filming will wash you out. That said, my favorite foundation is the L'Oréal True Match serum foundation. It's rather thin & doesn't settle into fine lines & wrinkles. I use Cover Girl Simply Ageless powder to set it. Again, it's the only powder I've tried that doesn't look dry, powdery or settle into lines. Here's a link to some of my favorite eyeshadow & lip products. FYI you can find all this info in my LTK shop. liketk.it/4BT2u
This is SO HELPFUL! It really helps to see the visual of what does and does not look good together, Can you please show how to style a puffer vest? I love that look, but have no idea what outfits go with it!!! Helppp
💗So glad to see that you showed the frumpy longer jeans with sneakers and why-- then the shorter jeans that look smart with the sneakers. I really wasn't getting what was so "frumpy" but now I get your point. I like when you show a before and after--for some of us who may be a bit behind the times! 💗🤣🤣🤣
Exception to the running shoes rule: I bartend, and I HAVE to wear my Hokas for a night shift or I pay the price later, even though I still wear a cute outfit.
Same here! I wore Hokas with my scrubs almost 5 years. But, the last 7-8 months, I had to wear crocks….toe pain! My husband mentions dresses every once in a while, I asked him what would look better, my crocs or HOKAS!
I loved this video! Thanks for showing all those looks with the different shoes and booties! I saw so many people wearing their hoka sneakers with jeans at the airport! They looked so ridiculous. The airport is such a great place to people watch and see "what not to wear" T-shirts with slogans, pajama bottoms with Uggs and a Huge sweatshirt. Oh Serena, I could go on and on!
Hi. Thanks for the great video content. If you’re still looking for video ideas, please consider one on how to style/wear different types of outfits (dresses, skirts, jeans, pants etc.) with cowboy/Western boots (maybe of different shaft heights if you need more content) to still look fresh/modern. I recently moved to TN and want to embrace my new home’s favorite footwear, which may never go out of style here. Thanks.
Where in TN do you live? I grew up in TN and lived most of my life there. Cowboy boots are NOT the preferred footwear! TN isn't Texas! lol. Maybe for country music artists or tourists in Nashville but not 99% of Tennesseans.
The straight leg jeans with chelsea boot is my favorite look! I live in that!!! Lol...evereve is also one of my favorite sites. Their clothes are made to last!
Great video and I totally agree with you on all points, especially about the sneakers. I now have a great explanation for why I need so many pairs of jeans. I also have multiple styles of boots and Dr. Scholl’s TIME OFF sneakers for the reasons you mentioned. I really wish I could find the very first pair of jeans you wore!
I love those Blondo boots, I have the suede ones and they are soo comfortable and you do not have to worry about any weather ... and Nordstrom has the best boots
TY Serena. The Perfect combo…jeans and a gazillion pairs of shoes❣️(plz don’t laugh..in 1959…we called these “Kitten Heels”= “Spool Heels”. The leather was a dressy “pearlized” cream tone and ALL the girls wanted a pair! I’m wondering if anyone else recognized and wore these also 😹
