You probably match up your jeans [1] and sandals [2] all the time without stopping to think about it. From late Spring to late Fall, your toes just want to breathe, plus, you've got a handful of new pairs of shoes to show off [3]. If you're anything like us, you reach for your denim, like, every day — so often, in fact, that you have to stop and challenge yourself: "Why don't you try a skirt instead?" But jeans usually reign supreme in our wardrobes, so we should make sure that when we're working them with sandals, the resulting look is polished, not lazy.
Whether you're the type of gal who likes to give off surfer vibes in flip-flops [4] or you prefer a strappy stiletto and blazer, we gathered so many different outfits that will make you equally glad for your footwear and your pants. When it comes to these ensembles, the spotlight isn't just on your denim [5], and it's not just on those new mules you scored from Zara. Instead, it's about the combination. The result? People won't just be asking you where you found those heels, they'll be offering a nod as they walk by — one that says, "Girl, you look good."
