This Once-Dated Easy Jeans Outfit Is Cool Again—Here’s the It-Girl Proof

You’re not imagining it. In this day and age, whether or not something is considered dated can change on a dime—outfit styling included. The look Jenna Ortega just wore for press appearances in NYC proves my point perfectly.

When it comes to choosing what shoes to pair with a jeans outfit, it’s become the fashion-person norm to choose the wrong shoes, as in a clashing, unexpected style instead of a matchy-matchy one. Well, now that wearing bold colors and primary-color blocking has become wildly popular, the matchy-matchy look is back. Embracing it in a simple way, just as Ortega did, is the most effortless, chic way to wear it.

Ortega opted for denim with a canary-yellow sweater and shoes in the same hue. It makes for a striking jeans outfit, but it’s not one you have to put a lot of thought into. Just take a sweater in any color (one that isn’t a neutral for maximum effectiveness) and pair it with shoes in the same color. Wear your favorite jeans, and you’re done.

Scroll on to see the look on Ortega and shop a handful of cool sweater-and-shoe pairings to wear with your jeans.
