Is it ok to wear jeans and running shoes??
I was having a talk with my friend Kristina the other day, and she told me that someone should NEVER wear running shoes with jeans. I disagreed, saying that is was perfectly fine, especially if you are trying to be casual. In fact, I rock that style all the time. (Author’s note: I apologize for using the phrase “rock that style). So I looked it up online.
According to AskMen.com, wearing jeans and running shoes are permitted ONLY when:
1- You want to be comfortable; slip on running shoes with your Levi’s
2- You want a fresh relaxed look
3- You have good sneakers. Anything old or ripped should not be worn
4- Running shoes are clean (you do not want to look like a mechanic)
5- You put on a nice fitted sweater or shirt to go with your ensemble. The baggy look is for children
6- Your jeans are slightly fitted; it looks better
7- You have solid color running shoes; stay away from multi-colored spaceship looking ones
8- You wear dark colored jeans
9- The occasion is fitting (don’t wear runners to a trendy nightspot)
So what are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments so we can settle this once and for all!
