A blazer paired with jeans is classic for a reason. The combo makes for a polished yet comfy outfit, easy to wear and even easier to put together. However, the outfit that was Kim Kardashian's go-to in the early to mid-2010s can easily look dated. Luckily, there's a genius way to make your blazer and jeans thrive in 2025: Add a brown suede shoe. We know, it sounds too simple. But trust us.
Brown suede footwear works because it's a world away from the stilettos or ballet flats that were often paired with the combo back in the 2010s. It also offers a juxtaposition to the blazer's corporate, sometimes stuffy feel. Seeing as Mocha Mousse was declared Pantone's 2025 Color Of The Year, you can't go wrong with this modern upgrade. To look even more put together, try the sandwich method of styling and pair a brown blazer with a matching shoe, just like Jennifer Lopez did in October 2025.
To try this trend in the winter cold, the Marc Fisher Women's Matter Bootie in Walnut Suede or the Aerosoles Women's Oro Mid Calf Boot in Tobacco Suede will provide style, practicality, and warmth. If it's a little warmer where you are as 2025 draws to a close, the CEFISOP Mary Janes Heels in Suede Brown will also hit the grandma shoe trend sweeping winter 2025. Want an appropriate evening shoe? The Divanne Pumps in Brown-Suede will add a touch of sophistication.
Remember to make sure your jeans are on trend as well
A brown suede shoe isn't the only way to upgrade your blazer-and-jeans look for 2025. To keep your ensemble modern, ensure you're following the latest jean trends as well. 2025's denim trends all have one thing in common — comfort. The hottest jeans of the moment are baggy and slouchy, while pairs with drawstrings that mirror the look of sweatpants are particularly hot as well. Think Astylish's Wide Leg Drawstring High Waisted Jeans or the Wide Leg, High Waisted Drawstring Jeans from Sidefeel.

You could also take inspo from the celebs we've seen jumping on the blazer-and-jean revival. Claudia Schiffer paired a tweed blazer with dark wash jeans and pointed-toe suede shoes in October, while that same month, the ever-stylish Sarah Jessica Parker put her own twist on the look. She paired a long-line, light pink blazer with suede, platform mules, and rolled-up jeans to create a comfortable but far from stuffy look.
