Styling Men’s Loafers with Jeans 101

At Hannagans, we believe that pairing loafers with jeans creates the perfect combination for an effortlessly elegant look. While “dress sneakers” have their place, loafers offer a more sophisticated alternative. Here are some tips on how to style men’s loafers with jeans seamlessly:

1. Fit

When styling men’s loafers with jeans, it’s essential to pay attention to the fit. Opt for slim or straight-leg jeans that are neither too baggy nor too tight (avoid skinny jeans). Look for a mid-to-high rise to ensure a comfortable and flattering fit.

2. Length

The length of the jeans should hover just above the shoes, with little to no break in the fabric, creating a clean and polished look.

3. Wash

For a casual day look, opt for light wash denim with natural fading, which pairs nicely with tassel or penny loafers in suede or calf leather. Indigo denim is the most versatile for a smart-casual look and works well with everything from dark suede to black deer leather. White and black wash denim are perfect for creating a distinct yet effortlessly elegant style.

4. Layers

Adding layers is a simple and effective way to add dimension to your outfit. Simply incorporate a blazer, knitwear, or an overshirt. Layering can add depth and texture to your look while keeping it versatile for various occasions. Pairing loafers with a well-fitted blazer can instantly elevate your style.

5. Accessories 

Details matter when styling men’s loafers with jeans. Socks and belts, gives you a chance to add character to the outfit. Opt for ribbed socks and a western belt to give personality and tie the outfit together.
