These Are the Shoes to Wear With Your Jeans This Spring

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.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
