In another thread I read that trainers with jeans is a total no-no. I agree and I'd never do it. However, in the same thread I also read that shoes with jeans is a total no-no too. I usually wear casual slip-on shes with jeans, so clearly I'm perpetrating a serious transgression of style laws. So, if you can't wear trainers with jeans, and you can't wear shoes with jeans, what, exactly, should you be wearing with jeans?

I have about 8 pairs of plimsoles in different colours, they feel nice to drive in and are casual.
Although not best if doing long walks (obviously).

With my casual jeans I wear trainers, got a few different styles including converse type look, superstars etc. I guess you could wear boots with them as well, but I don't really like boots so don't wear them.

With my more formal jeans, it'll either be smart/ funkier trainers or more usually some loafers.

Not really, I don't actually give a toss and will probably continue wearing comfy shoes, 'cause that's what I like to do, but I was curious as to what the answer was given that trainers and shoes pretty much covers most footwear but neither are considered acceptable.

You can wear trainers, just depends on what type.

Running shoes/trainers are probably not a good look though.

Is this for a night out/casual function? How about some brown shoes, you can pick a pair up from Burtons etc for about £20/30.

Depends on the trainers. Personally I think the Onitsuka Tigers look great with jeans.

Do you really care that much about what strangers on the internet suggest you should or shouldn't wear?

Just wear whatever makes you feel happy and comfortable with yourself.

Personally, I either wear boots or trainers (not running shoes, usually Oniksuka Tigers) and think either work just fine.

Really? I wear trainers with jeans 65% of the time. 30% of the time with shoes (usually brown). 5% with flip-flops.

Do I care if that bothers the fashion gurus? Not in the slightest.

Why are 'trainers' (Sneakers?) a no no with jeans?

No, like I said above, I was just curious as to what people who didn't approve of trainers or shoes would be wearing, given that trains and shoes covers pretty much everything. Okay, it's a slow Sunday. I don't feel like doing anything productive and the OH is glued to her laptop, hence the discussion!

Just for general casual time... Being out-and-about during the day, etc. Incidentally, I do have some brown shoes.
