Sneakers and jeans: These are a few of our favorite things. One can never own too many pairs of either wardrobe staple, but sometimes they can be difficult to mix and match.
Unless, of course, you browse Instagram endlessly for style inspiration—yep, that's basically our job—and see that Adidas sneakers have been fully embraced by the fashion set. Whether you're dressing for a casual work day, errands, or weekend fun, pairing Adidas sneakers with straight-leg jeans is a foolproof combo that might already be waiting in your closet.
While yours truly is partial to the original Sambas, we've identified four fashion-person-approved styles that are easily paired with denim. Want to make getting dressed even easier? Throw on a white T-shirt plus an eye-catching jacket or sweater, and you're good to go.
