The reason I am asking this question is because we are now able
to wear jeans to work and my "fashionable" coworker made the comment that she does not wear tennis shoes with jeans. She said she didn't like the way it looked. Actually there is a nearby town that has the reputation for being kinda dirty and skanky and she said that wearing tennis shoes with jeans made it look like you were from there!

Until I saw ladies in fashion magazines wearing heels with jeans I had no idea that there was anything other than tennis shoes to wear with jeans. :thumbsup2

She also said that her husband wears tennis shoes with jeans and I thought to myself........"what kind of shoes do you expect him to wear with them?" I mean he's a guy.......not like he can wear heels!!

Anyway, I guess I'm skanky because I don't "dress up" my jeans!! Anyone
else??? :rotfl:
 
I have to say that I never wear tennis shoes with jean either - usually heels, flip flops or my Bjorns...

Male Dis-er checking in: tennis shoes or Crocs with jeans. Dress shoes with jeans is kind of a weird look, and so are flip-flops.:confused3
 
Sure, if I need to walk and I don't want blisters. I wouldn't wear them to work though. Casual flats would do for that.
 

Oh yes, I wear tennis shoes... flip flops... keds... topsiders... but never, EVER heels! I think "that" looks tacky! JMHO...
 
No tennis shoes with jeans for me. Sandals or loafers.

While I do'nt see a problem with it for those that do, I think that for the workplace it might be too casual. Some sort of loafer might be more appropriate. JMHO.

I've been wearing tennies with jeans for 35 years, me and probably 30 million other guys. ;):)
 
I combine all my shoes with jeans. And my shoes vary from the $2 flip flops until the $$$$$ high heels. And everything in between.
 
I wear tennis shoes with jeans. I don't know what work would say about that combo but outside work I wear tennis shoes, flip flops, loafers.
 
I'm just a big ol' skank then, because I've never worn anything other than sneakers with jeans. :confused3

I don't know anybody that even thinks about this. I must run with a skank gang. :laughing:
 
It depends on the shirt. If I wear a fleece or sweatshirt, it's tennis shoes all the way.

If I'm wearing a blouse or a nice sweater, I'll wear a dressier shoe or boots.

same here~
 
Depends on where i'm going and what top i'm wearing, if I want to dress them up more I wear heels, if I want to be more casual I usually wear sandles since it's hot out now, but if it's cold I still wear my tennis shoes. Just depends on my mood and where I'm going

Me too!!


BTW Everybody where I work wears jeans, sneakers and tees (even the big bosses). The only ones who are dressed up are the lawyers.
 
OP here! I have another co-worker that doesn't even own a pair of tennis shoes. So I'm picturing her in sweatpants and heels!! She (and her daughter) would be the type who would do disney in stilletos!
