Jennifer Aniston Just Wore the Casual Shoe-and-Jeans Combination That Works in London, L.A. and Amsterdam

Jennifer Aniston Just Wore the Casual Shoe-and-Jeans Combination That Works in London, L.A. and Amsterdam

It’s a truth widely acknowledged that not all jeans and shoe combinations are created equal.

Jeans and heels can look amazing—if you find the right pairing. Trainers are a little more forgiving, but even they don’t work with every denim cut. Then there are shoes that I perceive to be tailor-made for jeans, and top of my list is Birkenstock’s iconic Boston clog.

Putting my theory to the test, Jennifer Aniston recently stepped out in the exact jeans-and-shoe pairing I genuinely think everyone could benefit from. Wearing a suede pair of Birkenstock Bostons, she styled the cult-favourite mules with slim-fitting, mid-wash jeans—neatly cuffed at the hem—a crisp white tee and a classic cross-body leather bag—creating an early-summer outfit that I can't find fault with.

A perennial two-piece look that fashion people return to once the sun starts to show, I’ve seen this combo on repeat during my London commute, but it’s also an L.A. staple, and I've seen this outfit on the streets of Amsterdam, too. No matter the city, the appeal is the same: easy, timeless style.

With your jeans and shoes sorted, building the rest of your outfit becomes a breeze. Take the style set's favourite route and keep it clean with a white tee, or lean into the trend and double up on the denim for a simple but striking look.
