If we’re looking for effortlessly cool style inspiration, we consistently turn to the Jennifers. Naturally, we’re talking about Jennifer Lopez, Aniston, and Lawrence. In fact, we recently covered the skinny-jean outfits and shoe styles this trio wear. And to dive deeper into these categories, we decided to combine the two areas to uncover the specific shoe styles the Jens often pair with their denim.
Believe it or not, the footwear styles in question actually skew on the "simple” end. Sure, they’re all still incredibly fashion-forward, but the silhouettes could be considered simple in the sense that they’re versatile and can be paired with a variety of items. To showcase what we mean, we’re highlighting the best shoes to wear with jeans (complete with shopping recommendations)—inspired by the chicest Jennifers out there.
