Looking at the decade that informed this season's Americana trend - the mid-‘90s - one item seems to be a key element of every wardrobe, the Mom Jean. Pair them with a simple white bodysuit, a ribbed black turtleneck, or an oversized sweater and you’re ready to take on the world. But what about the shoes?
Do you reach for kitten heels? What about a comfortable pair of Birkenstocks? If we’re being totally honest, the shoes we love the most with a pair of Mom Jeans are sneakers.
These jeans aren’t trying too hard, so your shoes shouldn’t either. You need sneakers with an effortless sense of cool, that match the instant street-cred a pair of Mom Jeans can give you. Luckily, the Americana look of the moment has thrown up some iconic pairs. Step into versatile Converse, some designer high-tops, or a pair of chunky white DKNY’s, will bring your entire outfit together and guarantee you live your best ‘90s life.
