I Was a VIP Nordstrom Stylist—These Are the Best Shoes to Wear With Jeans and Dresses
By Bobby Schuessler,

Assembling chic outfits is Sandy Koszarek's specialty. After all, she spent decades as a VIP stylist at Nordstrom and currently highlights her enviable ensembles on her Instagram and site, Stylish Sandy. Jeans and dresses are two pieces that she, like many out there, wears on repeat. We thought there could be interest in learning more about how she styles these must-haves. Specifically, we wanted to focus on the shoe silhouettes she thinks work perfectly with dresses and jeans because of their versatility.
Below, you'll uncover the shoes—including flats, sandals, and heels—that Koszarek thinks will elevate any look. It's also worth noting that Koszarek thinks the footwear styles in question work with dress and denim styles that run the gamut, including maxi dresses and relaxed jeans. Are you interested in adding a new pair of shoes, a dress, or jeans to your wardrobe? You'll also find summer and fall shopping picks below.
