What Shoes to Wear with White Jeans in Winter: Fashion-Forward Footwear
Who says white jeans are only for warmer months? It’s time to break that old rule because white jeans can be just as fabulous in fall and winter! I’m a recent convert, and I love how they give my wardrobe a burst of brightness when the weather turns cold and gray.
The key to pulling them off in cooler weather is pairing them with the right shoes or boots. Whether you’re going for a laid-back look or something a bit more polished, the right footwear can make or break your outfit. Let’s jump in and take a look at the best shoes to wear with white jeans this winter to keep your style modern and fresh.

What Shoes to Wear With White Skinny Jeans (or White Straight Leg Jeans) in Winter
Skinny jeans have been on the back burner lately, but they’re classic and still very much in style. (You may have seen my post on how to style white skinny jeans in the summer. ) The newer versions of skinny jeans are straight-leg and slim-straight leg, but the same winter footwear works with them.
Slouchy Boots
Slouchy boots are cozy and chic. These skinny white jeans look amazing tucked into these classy tan Amazon Slouchy Boots. The suede adds gorgeous texture to these monochromatic white jeans. If you prefer a kitten heel style with a shorter ankle height, I love these ankle boots in the color “Cognac”!
Ballet Flats/Mary Janes
As far as shoes go, Ballet flats have made a comeback in recent years, creating a more delicate, feminine look. I initially thought of them only as practical travel shoes, but women over 40 are embracing their style for sophisticated comfort.
I love these strappy ballet flats in Merlot when I want to incorporate a sleek jewel tone into my look. They’re not harsh enough to be an eyesore against winter whites, but for a more neutral option, these Cognac–colored Mary-Janes are fab.
Marc Fisher Yale Chelsea Boots
Chelsea Boots
There are two kinds of Chelsea boots. The first are the finer, low-heel, pointy-toe ones, like this taupe pair from Marc Fisher that I love to wear. But there’s also a funkier lug-sole boot, like these Chelsea boots with the ankle knit pull-on closure, which also pair perfectly with white skinny jeans. Note: Lighter boots worn with white jeans elongate the legs, while darker ones create an interesting contrast next to white jeans but will shorten your legs a little.
Stylish Sneakers
Slip-on sneakers are great when there’s no snow. Silver sneakers are trending at the moment and make great transitional shoes from winter to spring. I like these silver sneakers from Adidas, and these lighter silver sneakers with white jeans would be super cute, too.
What Shoes to Wear With White Flare Jeans in Winter
White flare jeans, from bootcuts to wider, more dramatic flares, can also be worn in winter. The goal is to add a bit of height and balance the volume at the bottom.
Black Suede Kitten heel bootie
Pointed-toe Booties
A bootie with a sharp and elongated toe gives white flare jeans a polished and sophisticated vibe. ( If you can’t wear pointy, almond toe is more chic than round). Pointed-to booties also create the illusion of longer legs.
You can never go wrong with something like this sleek, black, pointed-toe bootie with a chunky heel. These booties also come in brown, ivory, and natural leather, which are perfect for pairing with white jeans and a lighter-colored top. A kitten heel bootie like this one, above, has a lower heel, is finer, more feminine, and also very popular.
Chic Loafers
For a polished day look, try a loafer. It’s an easy way to elevate a casual outfit without looking too dressed up. These Italian Horsebit loafers are a classy choice to wear with white bootcut jeans.
What Shoes to Wear With White Wide-Leg Jeans in Winter
Balance is even more important when choosing shoes to wear with white wide-leg jeans. The right pair of shoes these loose pants from looking boxy and bottom heavy.
Block Heel Pumps & Booties
Chunky block-heel shoes or booties are natural to wear with wide-leg jeans. (For winter, you’ll want closed-toe shoes.) The heel complements the wide hem and is also very comfortable if you will be on your feet for a while.
These block heel pumps are new ( love the slingback) and would be cute with white wide-leg jeans. If you prefer booties, these chunky block heel booties are gorgeous.
Comfortable Mules
Mules are casual and comfy with wide-leg jeans. These Piper Mules, with their big cat print, are kind of fun, and animal print always goes with white. If you’d rather wear less busy shoes, try a neutral color like brown, taupe, black, gray, or metallic with white wide-leg jeans.
Pointed-Toe Heels
Just as with flared jeans, pointed-toe heels are fabulous, giving wide-leg jeans an elegant look.
These slingbacks come in fabulous colors and are pretty wow! But I wouldn’t recommend wearing them outdoors in the winter. They’re better with indoor winter outfits unless it’s dry out. As for booties, these dark brown leather ankle boots would go with many winter looks.
With the right pair of shoes, you can ROCK your white jeans in the winter!
