For most of the last decade, and certainly longer, the dominant trend in denim fashion has been to make jeans as skinny and tight as possible. But lately a variety of different styles have made their debut, reinvigorating the denim domain with a long overdue variety of fun looks and flair that we can’t wait to tell you about. Two big themes emerging this year are comfort and an “anything goes” mentality. (Anything but skinny jeans, that is. We’ll share some advice later on how to get away from your beloved jeggings.) But for now, let’s dive into the top jean trends of 2022 and how to style them.

The mom jeans

Tucked under a cape of high-waisted, loose-fitting denim, moms have known the practical benefits of this easy-to-wear style for decades. Put on a pair of mom jeans and everything from your mood to your maneuverability will improve. No wonder this roomy silhouette has found its way back onto the runway. Whether you’re trying this look for the first time or pioneered its debut, we have some tips to help you ditch the mom jeans in the modern era.

According to our resident Gen-Zer Lexie Wittgenstein, mom jeans look best when paired with a crop top or slim-fitting shirt. You can even wear your mom jeans with a graphic tee for an ultra-casual yet on-trend vibe. Lexie recommends completing this look with a chunky sneaker, like an A1, or a Doc Marten boot for a little extravagance.

Chances are you will fall in love with this look. Because let’s face it… Moms are always right!

Tip: Tucking shirts into mom jeans improves the look.

The straight leg jeans

You really can’t go wrong with a pair of straight-leg jeans in 2022. This look is trending in a variety of colors including brown, green, pink and all denim washes from light to dark. You might also notice that the patchwork look is gaining prominence this year, especially in straight-leg designs. Wondering how to style this look? The youngest trendsetter generation casually wears straight leg jeans with an open, oversized T-shirt. If you prefer a tidier look, you can still dress casual by pairing dark denim pants with a tucked-in denim button-down shirt. Almost everything is legal this year and the denim-on-denim look of the ’90s is no exception.

Tip: Dress up your straight leg with a heel, especially an ankle strap.

The Flare & Bell Bottom Jeans

If you’ve got a ’70s soul, you’ll love this season’s revival of flared and bell-bottom pants. The dramatic silhouette of this jean style takes center stage and there are a few tricks you can use to achieve this. First, tuck in your shirt so that the full length of your jeans is showing. Next add a belt. This reinforces the hourglass shape you’ve already created by tucking in your favorite shirt. Lastly, give yourself a boost with a pair of platform shoes. There’s a reason everyone wore this classic combo in the ’70s; The buoyancy you get from a platform keeps your pants from dragging on the ground, which elongates your figure and lets your flare flow without bagging.

Tip: Your jeans should hover just off the ground and cover at least ¾ of your shoe.

Goodbye skinny jeans?

If you’re over 30, sit down: According to fashion researchers and Gen Z folks, the skinny jean trend that has dominated the fashion industry for years is officially dead. Those born between 1997 and 2012 are looking for ways to express themselves to stand out from others, and one of those ways is fashion. As the youngest generation of influencers, this group hasn’t had as much time to commit to a style. But closing the decade-long chapter on skinny jeans isn’t easy for any of us. I’ve built an entire wardrobe around my favorite dark blue skinny jeans and I’m certainly not ready to say goodbye without a fight. After doing some industry research, I found that there’s a way to ditch skinny jeans this year without making a fashion faux pas. Here’s how to pull off the look if you still love wearing your skinnies:

Opt for a slim-fitting, stiff denim instead of stretchy jeggings

Choose lightly washed, distressed or black denim; avoid basic dark blue.

Combine your skinny jeans with a light, flowing blouse

Tip: Chunky shoes of any kind look great with skinny jeans.

The shirt you’re wearing to the grocery store may not match the jeans you’re trying on. Grab a matching shirt so you can really envision the look so you don’t mistakenly say no to great pants.

If you like a style but think it’s “too wild” for you, this could be perfect! Give yourself some time to get used to your new look before ruling it out.

Jeans and heels are classics, both classic outfit staples in their own right, but when paired, it’s absolute magic.

The best times for stripes are always

10/10 would recommend this look. The heels look fierce on their own, but we can’t get over how great they look when paired with the striped jeans.

Class Lassi

This pairing gives you the best of both worlds—delicate patterned shoes and ripped black jeans fit for a badass.

A splash of red

These heels are FIRE and we can’t get over how they contrast with this blogger’s crisp white jeans.

Summery and casual

If you’ve been looking for proof that pink heels can be worn casually, then you’ve come to the right place. When not paired with a mini skirt, pink heels are actually pretty great for the day.

Cute and suede

When in doubt, choose blue jeans. They are versatile and let these suede shoes completely take the spotlight.

The classic pumps

This look proves that jeans and heels are made for each other. It’s also a great option for people who aren’t into neon or patterned shoes. You can’t go wrong with black heels and blue jeans.

Pretty and pink

Do you go for a walk in the park? on a date? Heading to work at your super cool startup? Nobody can tell with this outfit, but one thing is for sure – we NEED these shoes.

Yellow, black and beautiful

We weren’t too sure about the whole neon heels trend, but we’re 100 percent on board after seeing this combo. Black really goes with everything, which is why these dark jeans and light heels look so amazing together!

class and sass

This pair of jeans and heels is the perfect way to channel class and sass. Those white heels would go with most other outfits, but thanks to the ripped jeans, they’re beyond cute.

Flowery and fabulous

We have never loved flowers so much. Dressed with a pair of classic black jeans, this look is great for a Friday at the office when you want to let a little of your fashionista vibe shine through.

Bold and blue

These ripped cuffed cropped jeans look as comfy as they are cute, and we can’t stop staring at these bold and blue heels. They’re great for nights on the town and shit-getting days.

Stunning metallics

Those metallic heels kinda make us feel, and we’re all for it. Something about the frayed black jeans makes this look even more epic.

Dear Mrs. Manners, My mother, my sister and I have a difference of opinion. I hope you can help. My mother and sister claim that you can wear white shoes from Easter to Labor Day. I agree with them on Labor Day, which means the end of the season for white shoes, but I figured you shouldn’t wear white shoes until Memorial Day.

Please let us know when we can be properly seen in our white sandals. We’re all loyal readers, and one word from you will settle the matter.

If only.

No rule enrages Miss Manners’ Gentle Readers as much as the ban on wearing white shoes between Memorial Day (not Easter) and Labor Day (unless you’re a baby, a bride, or play tennis). In tones of high indignation, they talk about weather conditions and wardrobe requirements. Fashion leaders love to cheer on rule breakers – as if someone really learned rules before breaking them.

advertisement

Then they attack the etiquette itself. Such a rule is arbitrary, they stress. Of course it’s arbitrary. That’s how it is whether you drive on the right or left side of the road, but you should do what’s expected.

Abolishing rules would disappoint both those who enjoy order and respect rituals and those who break them. Additionally, for many who have lived where the temperature hardly changes throughout the year, noticing the changing seasons is reassuring anyway.

The advantage of the white shoe rule is that hardly anyone notices disobedience. But thanks for taking care of it.

Dear Ms. Manners, my family likes to dye eggs at Easter. Since having my daughter, I’ve stepped back and let her have all the coloring fun while I watch.

When we gather at my parents’ house, my father sets out the egg dye cups and brings them to the table. It’s usually 18 or 20 cups. My (36 year old) sister then lays eggs in at least 15 of them leaving my child generally yellow and orange and that’s all.

advertisement

She then proceeds to tell my 8 year old that she is being rude for wanting to dye a purple egg. She orders her to wait, tells her it’s not nice to want to use all the paint on herself, and then says she’s tired of hearing the kid complain.

My dad is a big sport at this, having made another batch of dye for my daughter. But is it appropriate for an adult to tell a child they need to be faster to paint eggs?

While kids should be a priority in holiday games like this, someone should tell your sister that acting childish doesn’t count. Miss Manners nominates your father.

Dear Frau Manners, when I innocently say to my husband: “Tomorrow you have to show me how to do something”, he gets upset and replies: “I don’t have to do anything.” He has the feeling that I’m asking him to do it , something to do. What do you make of it?

That you should learn to say “please.”

Everyone wants to look their best as a wedding guest. With the ever-changing etiquette surrounding wedding guest attire, you may be unsure of what to wear. For example, can you wear white shoes to a wedding, or do shoes fall under the “no white” rule?

Of course, there are some old traditions about what you should and shouldn’t wear to a wedding that may limit your choices or limit your style. Are white accessories acceptable? what about white shoes

Today’s modern brides are leaving old, outdated wedding traditions behind and celebrating happier and more relaxed celebrations, including their guests’ dress codes.

However, it can be difficult to know what to wear and if you can pull out your favorite pair of white pumps at your next wedding event. Let’s explore when it’s okay and when it’s not okay to wear white shoes to a wedding.

Is it okay to wear white shoes to a wedding?

Western brides have traditionally worn white wedding dresses since the mid-19th century, after Queen Victoria married Prince Albert in an elaborate white lace gown. The color and dress took on symbols of innocence, wealth, and virginity that would be a highlight of the Victorian era.

Today, white wedding dresses are less about innocence and purity and more about a traditional style of dress that identifies the bride at a wedding. That being said, it is generally inappropriate for anyone other than the bride to wear white on her wedding day. Does this wedding etiquette rule apply to shoes, though?

Experts tend to agree that a little white is okay for a wedding guest. Accent colors like white or cream on a dress, tie, or pair of shoes will not raise eyebrows from the bride or other family members.

When to avoid wearing white shoes to a wedding

Of course, there are a few instances when you’ll want to avoid wearing white shoes to a wedding.

Too much white

If you’re pairing your favorite white shoes with a white dress, you might want to reconsider your outfit and accessory choices. The entire ensemble might make you look a little too bridal and draw attention away from the bride to you.

outdoor wedding

If the wedding is outdoors or out of season like fall or winter, you should avoid wearing white shoes simply because they can easily get muddy or even ruined by the elements.

Other factors to consider

Some couples require their guests to have a specific dress code. For example, if they have an all-white event, chances are you’re ready to wear those white shoes.

We’re seeing more and more unconventional brides opting for a dress of a different color or with a fun print, such as For example, a floral wedding dress that better reflects her style. In this case, you can wear some white without offending anyone or looking out of place.

This rule also applies if you are attending a wedding where the couple is from a different culture. Traditionally, many brides do not wear white on their wedding days, especially in eastern countries like China and India.

However, keep in mind that in these cultures, white is traditionally a color associated with mourning and funerals. Even if the bride isn’t wearing white, you may not want to wear white to certain weddings.

Final Thoughts

It is generally considered bad style to wear white as a wedding guest. However, a white accessory like a pair of white shoes is not likely to raise too many eyebrows.

When planning your outfit, consider the bride’s attire as well as the time of year and weather. Ultimately, you should use your best judgment and when in doubt ask a friend or family member for advice.

You know that annoying little “fashion rule” that dictates that you should never wear white shoes after Labor Day? Well, it looks like it’s officially been thrown out the window. In fact, it looks like today’s styles—including actresses, models, bloggers, and editors—will be wearing nothing but white shoes this winter.

The most common type we’ve seen: crisp white heels or super-pointy-toe wedges paired with seasonally appropriate outfits (warm coats, hats, and cozy scarves in many cases). What’s refreshing about the white shoe winter trend is that it’s just so fresh. Because the “rule” has been so strictly followed in the past, we haven’t seen much of it until now.

We’re also aware that it’s mega-trending, with every retailer offering their own take on the pointed white heel, including fast-fashion favorites like Zara and H&M (which have been particularly adept at selling multiple styles this season ). Another reason why it’s worth buying a pair today? You can wear them all year round!

A pair of blue heels will add a pop of color to your wardrobe and the opportunity to play with multiple style statements. Wear a cobalt blue heel to spice up a neutral outfit, a classic blue to complement a monochromatic look, or a royal blue to pair with bold colors and patterns. Blue heels are a great excuse to color up an outfit, as this beautiful color in its own right also pairs surprisingly well with other hot tones.

1 Bold Blue If you’re looking for a big statement, you can’t beat a pair of light cobalt or electric blue heels with a matching dress or smart suit. Don’t worry about the two colors matching exactly—as long as the blues are a similar tone, you have the look. Wear a floor length cobalt blue maxi skirt with a matching blue stiletto heel with thin straps. Add a crisp white crop top with cap sleeves and stack heaps of silver accessories including a metal stud clutch and a silver cocktail ring.

2 Royal Treatment To throw yourself in gorgeous shades of blue instead of wearing them head-to-toe, slip on a blue statement shoe with an otherwise neutral outfit. A heather gray shift dress goes from understated to overwhelmingly stylish when you add a pair of wide heels with ankle straps in electric blue. Complete the outfit with a taupe handbag and your choice of gold or silver jewelry. You can also add a touch of color to a black suit with royal blue patent leather pumps. Wear a light, neutral blouse – ecru, ice blue, chambray, or any shade of white – and complement it with a black, royal blue, and white clutch to coordinate the look.

3 Blue Blocks Color-blocking solid, vibrant hues is a surefire way to avoid just picking and wearing a favorite color. Light blue pieces are complemented by orange, emerald green, lemon yellow, turquoise and fuchsia. Wear a pair of blue platform pumps with blue cropped jeans, an emerald green blazer and a neutral tee. Throw a red-orange lipstick and nail color into the mix to play with primary and secondary colors. Color blocking can also occur inside the shoe. Wear a pair of blue open toe pumps with fuchsia detailing with a floral print dress that incorporates vibrant pink tones. Team with a blue and white striped blazer to bring out bold colors and patterns.

Blue shoes are without a doubt a winner in any wardrobe. It’s been said that blue is basically black’s more punchy cousin – a reliable way to add color to an outfit while still keeping it subtle. Blue pairs well with calm pastels and earthy tones, but also pairs perfectly with bold colors.

However, that doesn’t mean it’s totally free for everyone to rock your new blue shoes with. There are some basic guidelines that we think will help you put together an outfit that you can add blue shoes to with confidence.

Accessories for blue shoes

Whether you’re wearing formal or casual, earth tones or bold bright colors, you always want to make sure your shoes aren’t the odd man in color. Going all blue is a bit overwhelming and cheesy, so avoid going overboard with the matchy matchy. If you wear blue denim jeans with your blue shoes you should be fine, but you could still benefit from a blue accessory just to keep it cohesive. If your outfit has no blue except for the shoes, then you definitely need to grab an accessory.

jewelry

If you’re the kind of person who likes jewelry, a touch of blue in a necklace, earrings, or bracelet (choose two—not all three!) will bring just enough matching color to an outfit to balance it out. Make sure the shade of blue matches your shoes fairly well, otherwise you risk looking a little disjointed.

Belt

Belts are another great way to add just that little stripe of matching color that allows you to opt for non-blues for the rest of the outfit. Belts are great because you can find formal belts and casual belts depending on the occasion, and you can also opt for feminine coded super skinny or super wide belts or more gender neutral belts. If you can’t find a belt with a blue material that you like, you can also look for a brown or black belt that has a matching blue buckle! You can read our full article on matching belts with shoes here.

ties

If you feel like rocking a more masculine outfit, you can add a bit of blue hopping to your outfit with a bow tie or tie. The tie is better suited to traditional business settings, but the bow tie tends to have a little more whimsy and personality and is perfectly acceptable for most weddings and social occasions.

watches

Watches are a great little tool for adding understated style to an outfit, especially if you’re not really the type of person who would be comfortable in a tie or feminine jewellery. Watches are extremely versatile for different gender presentations and if you own a watch with interchangeable straps or have a decent collection of different watches they can work wonders to unify your ensemble. A blue watch goes a long way in balancing a pair of blue shoes, and there are blue watches that are appropriate for both formal and casual gatherings.

Outfits for blue shoes in formal settings

Unfortunately, for extremely formal settings, you’ll have to put the blue shoes back completely. But for a standard formal setting, like a job interview, a wedding, or an important meeting, you can absolutely pair blue dress shoes with a respectable, well-put together outfit.

Blue shoes, light blue shirt, tan jacket, gray pants

Consider browns and grays versus black – black is very heavy, and the combination of black and a pop of color makes you look more like a waiter than a CEO. You can combine light gray trousers with a light blue button-up, a light brown blazer, a light brown belt and a dark blue tie. It’s a light, summery outfit that goes well with sunlight and happy occasions.

Blue shoes, gray three piece suit, blue bow tie

For colder weather, choose a medium gray suit with white buttons, a gray waistcoat, blazer and dress pants. Pair with a dark brown belt, blue bow tie and a watch with blue or dark brown straps.

Blue shoes, blue jacket, white buttons, red/tan pants

You can balance the blue of your shoes with a blue blazer, giving you freedom to mix and match your pants and tie. If your jacket has the blue balance needed to really rock blue derbies, you can wear tan trousers with a dark brown belt and white button and ditch the tie altogether. Or you can liven things up and pair your blue shoes and blue blazer with red pants and then really pull it all together with a red and blue striped tie.

Outfits for blue shoes in casual settings

Freed from the more restrictive rules of formality, blue shoes can be paired with all sorts of outfits. Pair them with a pair of dark blue jeans and you basically can’t go wrong. If you use the accessories rules to make sure your shoes aren’t the only blue part of your outfit, you can wear them with almost anything as long as you promise not to mix black and brown.

Blue shoes and sun dresses

For skirts and dresses, blue oxfords are a subtle complement to a blue summer dress, but a more exciting and vibrant complement to orange or yellow, especially with a blue belt, watch or earrings. Blue shoes are fun because they pair well with any pattern that has a blue element in it.

Blue shoes, dark denim, patterned buttons

Pair with dark or black jeans, a blue belt and a pale plaid shirt – unbutton at the top button if you’re sitting outside on a patio – and you’ve got an outfit that says relaxed but well-dressed.

Blue shoes, jeans, t-shirt

Formal blue loafers can be worn absolutely casually in everyday life, as long as your everyday has a slightly “tailored” aspect or two. We’re not going to pretend they don’t look bizarre in a pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt while you’re on the hunt for emergency cereal milk, but you absolutely can’t leave the house in a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and blue loafers leaving.

Stick to three colors

A good rule of thumb for rocking the blue shoes as part of your everyday attire is to make sure the rest of your outfit goes with yourself and that you have another blue item. Take a look in the mirror and if you’re wearing four or more colors, including blue, you’ve made a mistake. Cut it down to three, preferably two, and then you’re good to go.

This style of shoes makes women look the most attractive

These shoes can act as an unconscious signal for men.

Research shows that high heels make women more attractive to men.

The higher the heels, the more helpful the men were – suggesting they were looking for an excuse to talk to her.

Men were also quicker to approach a woman wearing high heels in a bar.

For the series of studies, one researcher wore either flats, 5 cm heels, or 9 cm heels.

Then she asked men and women on the street to fill out a survey.

Heel height did not affect the rate at which women were willing to fill out the survey.

However, men were most likely to agree with the survey when wearing 9 cm heels.

In a third study, a researcher appeared to accidentally drop a glove on the street.

When she wore flats, 62% of men walking by grabbed her.

However, when she wore 9 cm heels, 93% of the men passing by helped her.

The heels made little difference to passing women, only about 50% helped her.

Professor Nicolas Guéguen, the author of the study, writes:

“In four experimental studies conducted in multiple field settings, we reported that the length of shoe heels worn was from

Women influenced the behavior of men. Four times we observed that men were more likely to engage in social interactions with a woman wearing heels.”

It’s still not really known why high heels are attractive to men.

The author of the study gives four reasons, of which he rejects the first three:

It makes a woman’s foot appear smaller, which in turn indicates youth. This doesn’t seem so likely. High heels make a woman taller. This is unlikely as men generally do not prefer taller women and the woman was seated in a study. High heels are changing the way women walk. One study also had women, so that doesn’t explain it.

The fourth is probably the best explanation: high heels are culturally fetishized.

In other words, high heels are associated with sex in men’s minds.

Maybe they act like a signal that a woman is more receptive and they subconsciously feel like they have a better chance with a woman in heels.

The study was published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior (Guéguen, 2014).

Worried about what color shoes go with everything? Don’t worry, we have all the tips you need to coordinate your outfits!

The basics: black, beige and grey

Red shoes for a lively pop

Blue shoes make a statement

Orange shoes for a vintage feel

Gold shoes for a metallic flair

Yellow shoes for a lively pop

Green shoes for an earthy or trendy look

Purple shoes for an extra punch

Which shoe color goes with everything?

Stylish shoes are a great way to upgrade an outfit. Not only does style play a big role in how your look comes together, but color is the key player in the overall outfit. From knowing what colors go with your clothes and go with everything, to maintaining a coordinated and stylish look, we have the tips and tricks to keep you looking your best. Your shoes say something about your personality. However, they can sometimes talk too much. Worried about what color shoes go with everything? Don’t sweat. Read on and we’ll cover all the tops you need to keep your outfits on point and coordinated. Let’s start with these neutral colors. Black, beige and gray shoes go with everything. Since they are all neutral, you can wear these colors to balance out a livelier outfit. Of course, you can either mix and match these neutrals or keep them in a similar tonal family. For example, there can be warm beiges and cooler beiges. The more beige based on brown, the better it will look with warmer outfits like red, orange, and yellow. Grays are almost always cooler tones, so gray complements blue, green, and magenta. These basics are also great for a more understated business-casual look. As they go with everything, you don’t have to worry about looking too lively for a day at the office (but if you want to, go for it!). Black goes with everything. Whether your outfit is warm or cool, black is an elegant and tried-and-tested color that you can never go wrong with. From black sneakers, flip flops or pumps, black is an excellent footwear choice when you just need a simple look. Red shoes are an ideal way to achieve an upscale look. Red adds a pop of color to an otherwise more neutral outfit and pairs great with warmer tones like orange and pink, but also pairs well with cooler tones like navy blue. Plus, you can never go wrong with an all-black or white outfit with a splash of red. The pop of red gives your outfit an overall quirky but elegant feel that looks great all year round. Red shoes are also socially iconic. From film to fashion, red shoes have been heralded as a bold statement for any outfit. Blue shoes add a relaxed and effortless appeal to your look. Blue shoes complement yellow, green, neutral colors and brown. Blue looks good with warmer tones as they are on the opposite side of the color wheel; It can add more fun and playful look to your outfit. Blue shoes also go well with other colors in their tonal family, such as green and cooler neutral tones, since green is a mix of blue and yellow, pairing with blue shoes accentuates the cooler tone and adds a beautiful look. Orange shoes look great with white, blue, earth tones, yellow and red. The warmer the tones, the better. Because orange is an iconic 70’s color, it can add a touch of the past to your ensemble. Oranges look especially good with warmer earth tones, like caramel browns or tans. Also, similar to how blue and yellow go well together, orange looks great with purple as they are complementary tones. Whether you want a vintage feel or modern pop, orange shoes are a great way to switch up an outfit.

In addition, you can also add a touch of flair to a black or white outfit. Or make a bold statement and add gold to a red outfit.

There are different shades of yellow, those that tend towards the warmer spectrum (have more orange tones) and those that are cooler or more neon (more green). Determining which yellow shoe goes well with your outfit depends on what tones you wear. For example, warmer shades of yellow look great with oranges and reds. More neon yellow tends to complement blue, white, or black. Paired with a simpler outfit, like a white or black ensemble, the neon yellow can add a fun twist to your overall look. Green shoes are great for adding an earthy essence to your outfit. Green shoes look best with brown, yellow, various shades of green, and blue. Depending on the vibrancy of the green you’re wearing, you may want to wear more muted tones. So if you are wearing a brown blazer, a more olive green blazer will suit you best. Or, if you’re wearing a canary yellow dress, opt for a lighter, more vibrant green. With this special colour, color brilliance is everything to make your outfit look coherent. In addition, green is currently in trend this year. From shoes to ensembles and accessories, you can’t go wrong with this versatile color. Purple shoes add an elegant touch to your ensemble.

One test you can do is spend a little time walking on a harder surface (e.g. tile) to get a feel for how that feels.
