Just Kate Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 My kids' private school allows jeans, but they prefer for them to NOT be skinny jeans or jeggings. I have spent all summer looking for jeans that fit this criteria but the only thing I can find are bootcut. My 9year old daughter (the budding fashionista) can't stand bootcut jeans, but I need her to wear them as we need some more school-clothes options! What kind of shoes do you think a kid should wear with bootcut jeans? I'm hoping that buying her a cute shoe to go with them will encourage her to want to wear them. Thanks! Quote
Just Kate Posted August 18, 2016 Author Posted August 18, 2016 Boots? Lol...yes, of course, but school started today and it's not quite boot weather for us yet. Dd has several cute t-shirts that she could wear with jeans. I'm just not sure what type of shoes to put with them. We will do boots in the winter though. (Shorts aren't allowed at her school). 1 Quote

Just Kate Posted August 18, 2016 Author Posted August 18, 2016 Sparkly neon tennis shoes. Ballet flats, preferably gold with glitter Dansko-style clogs Bright red converse tennis shoes That's what I was thinking (sparkly, fun shoes) but sadly I have little fashion sense. Dd though...boy she can spend hours changing her Barbie's clothes to try to make new outfits. She just loves fashion. I want her to have a say in what she wears, but we do have to follow the school's dress code. Just wanted to get some thoughts on this. Quote
zoobie Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Old Navy and Gap have "boyfriend" jeans that aren't skinny or boot cut. Target used to as well, but I haven't checked this season. Otherwise, I agree with anything goes. Cute tennies, flats, Mary Janes, whatever is comfy! :) Quote
zoobie Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 These were my oldest's favorite jeans at that age: http://m.hannaandersson.com/pdp.aspx?from=SC&pcid=27&styleid=47130&simg=47130_EX4 and they have a "not old enough for a boyfriend" style too. Quote
alisoncooks Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 I love boot cut, LOL. I generally go with: colorful running shoes athletic mary janes something like Converse or Vans (slip-on canvas shoe) Quote
Cinder Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 11 yo dd likes Converse with her boot-cut jeans. And as a pp mentioned, red is also her color choice. Quote
