| How to Wear Jeans with Sneakers Posted: 24 Apr 2021 01:00 AM PDT Sneakers and jeans are highly versatile wardrobe items, but pairing them with each other can be confusing! A great pair of skinny jeans may look awesome with vintage low tops, but awkward with retro high tops. When trying to figure out how to pair them, you'll need to keep in mind a few factors, like the length and style of the jeans, height of the shoes, color and patterning, and level of formality. With a little planning, though, you'll be able to craft super stylish outfits out of these wardrobe staples. [Edit]Creating Casual Looks - Pair regular- or slim-fit jeans with athletic sneakers for an everyday look. This is a combination you can never go wrong with. The best part about it is that you can wear it pretty much anywhere: meeting up with friends, going to a concert, hanging out in a park, or almost anything else you can think of.
- Go for a classic look by choosing monochrome jeans and sneakers combos. The best thing about a one- or two-tone look is that it will never go out of style. Match black jeans with black sneakers, or white jeans with white sneakers. Mix it up and wear black jeans with white sneakers, or white jeans with black sneakers. Try to play around with shades, such as dark and light grays and tans for a modern take on the classic look.
- For example, you could wear dark gray jeans with black sneakers or light gray jeans with white sneakers.
- If you want a more bold take on this classic outfit, try matching colored jeans with sneakers of the same color or a similar hue!
- Create a retro or boho look by pairing wide-leg jeans with low-tops. If you want to go for a breezy, vintage vibe, this is one of the easiest ways to do it! Choose jeans that are more form fitting through the waist and thighs and then open up at the calf, and throw on a pair of classic low-top, canvas sneakers.[1]
- To complete this look, add a vintage or oversized graphic tee and tuck it into the jeans, or wear a simple, flowy top!
- Use the sneakers to add a pop of color and show your sense of style. For the jeans, go with a solid color, like light or dark blue, white, or black. Then pair them with a pair of vibrantly-colored sneakers, or a pair that has a bold pattern. Break out those cool shoes that you've been looking for an excuse to wear!
- Pair high-top sneakers with straight-leg and regular-fit jeans. These jeans have a little more room through the leg and don't taper as much, which means they won't clash with high-top sneakers. You can choose to wear the pants so they cover the top of the shoe, or cuff them to show that part off. Either way, you'll look great!
- Cuff your jeans to show off your sneakers and create a modern look. Cuffing your jeans helps create a modern silhouette and can bring attention to a cool pair of sneakers. Beyond that, cuffing also helps if you need shorter jeans but don't have time to head to a tailor. Make a first cuff that is about long, and then repeat this for a second one. When cuffing, you should aim to have your jeans reach just above the ankle bone.[2]
- Don't cuff your pants more than twice, otherwise the bottom of your jeans will start to look bulky. If the pants are still too long with 2 cuffs, you might want to consider taking them to a tailor.
- Wear low-rise or no-show socks for a clean look. Though it's completely fine to wear exposed socks, many people prefer to not show socks with low-top sneakers. If you want to keep socks hidden, try out a pair of no-show socks, which you can get at places where shoes are sold.[3] No-show socks typically come in fewer sizes (often just small, medium, or large), so you will need to try a few pairs to find what works best for you and the shoes you have.
- If you are wearing high-tops, you'll want to have socks that reach up past your ankle to prevent blisters from forming, so avoid wearing no-show or crew cut socks with these kinds of sneakers.
- Wear a funky pair of socks to add a little bit of color. If you have to wear socks, consider long ones with a cool pattern or bright color. Use the visible space between your sneakers and jeans as an opportunity to showcase a little bit of personality and uniqueness!
[Edit]Dressing Up Jeans and Sneakers - Choose dark wash or black jeans and neutral-colored sneakers. In certain settings, like the office or upscale restaurants, you'll want to style the jeans and sneakers combo a little more formally. In general, as formality increases, the jeans should get darker. And with dark jeans, you'll want to stick to neutral colors (whites, blacks, grays, and tans) for your sneakers.[4]
- To keep the sneakers more work-appropriate, stay away from dramatic designs and stick to solid or two-tone patterns. For the jeans, avoid any styles with fading, distress, or rips.
- Elevate jeans and sneakers by adding a crisp shirt and a tailored blazer. One way to make jeans and sneakers a little classier is by adding more formal elements to the top of the outfit to balance the casualness of the bottom. This smart look is super versatile. It can be worn in many different situations, seasons, colors, and styles. Be sure to make it a staple in your wardrobe![5]
- Stick to slim-fit or skinny jeans and low-tops for a polished look. This tailored silhouette will always be in style and can be worn to almost any occasion that calls for more-than-casual attire. Having a pair or two of these types of jeans in your closet will make getting ready much easier, especially if you have a good pair of shoes to go with them.
- Go for a pair of sneakers made with high-end fabrics like leather or suede. Most casual sneakers are made of textiles, like cotton or polyester, or from synthetic materials. Dressier sneakers, however, are made of higher quality and more costly materials, which have an added bonus of making the sneakers more durable.[6]
- Because these shoes will typically cost more, choose a color and style that can go with any pair of pants. Black and other dark neutrals are generally the go-to for this, but whites and other lighter tans can also work just as well.
- You don't have to drop a lot of money for a good pair of dressy sneakers (or jeans, for that matter). Try going to local thrift stores or watching for sales online, and you'll be able to find something that works
- Keep dress sneakers clean so they look good when you need them. While sneakers you wear while playing sports can get dirty, you don't want grime caked onto shoes you wear to work. If something does happen, gently clean the shoes by rinsing them with water and scrubbing them lightly with a brush or cloth. Let the shoes dry completely before wearing them again.
- Avoid wearing high-top sneakers of any sort when trying a dressier look. High-top sneakers are typically more athletic in style and most likely won't do well in a formal setting. Save them for the gym!
- Be proud of your style! No matter what fashion trends are in or out at the moment, always remember to dress in a manner that makes you feel comfortable and confident.
- Opt for a slimmer fit of jeans when pairing them with sneakers. Generally speaking, sneakers are smaller and thinner than other types of shoes, so they look best when paired with more form-fitting pants.
- Buy jeans that fit you well. If you have a tape measure, you can find your best fit yourself. You can also get measured at many retail stores or a local tailor.[7]

| How to Roast Brazil Nuts Posted: 23 Apr 2021 09:00 AM PDT If you don't like the chewy, coconut flavor of fresh Brazil nuts, toss them with a little oil and toast them until they're crunchy. Since it doesn't take a lot of effort to roast Brazil nuts in the oven, on the stove, or in the microwave, consider making a big batch that you can store for later. You can enjoy the slightly nutty flavor of this crunchy nuts in granola, cereal, or trail mix. [Edit]Ingredients [Edit]Oven Roasted Brazil Nuts - 3 cups (400 g) of Brazil nuts
- of vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon (2 g) of ground cinnamon, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) of mixed spice or cayenne pepper, optional
- 2 tablespoons (42 g) of honey or maple syrup, optional
Makes 3 cups (400 g) of Brazil nuts [Edit]Stovetop-Toasted Nuts - 1 cups (133 g) of Brazil nuts
- of vegetable oil or melted butter, optional
- 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) of ground cinnamon, optional
- 1 pinch of mixed spice or cayenne pepper, optional
- 2 teaspoons (28 g) of honey or maple syrup, optional
Makes 1 cup (133 g) of Brazil nuts [Edit]Making Oven-Roasted Brazil Nuts - Preheat the oven to and spread Brazil nuts on a rimmed baking sheet. To make a big batch of toasted nuts, pour 3 cups (400 g) of shelled Brazil nuts onto a rimmed sheet.[1]
- Feel free to toast a smaller amount. If you'd like to roast even more Brazil nuts, divide the nuts between 2 baking sheets.
- Toss the nuts with oil, sweeteners, or spices, if you'd like. Although you can toast the nuts without anything else, drizzle them with of vegetable oil or melted butter for a richer flavor. To give the nuts a slightly sweet flavor, add (42 g) of honey or maple syrup. If you'd like a spicy taste, toss in 1 teaspoon (2 g) of ground cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) of mixed spice or cayenne pepper.[2]
- Once you've mixed the nuts with any of the optional seasonings, arrange the nuts so they're in a single layer.
- Put the sheet in the oven and toast the nuts for 8 to 10 minutes. Nuts don't take very long to roast, so it's important to stir them every few minutes so they don't burn in spots. Toast the nuts until you can smell them and they turn light brown.[3]
- If you're not sure whether they're finished toasting, use tongs to remove a nut from the sheet. Carefully cut the nut in half to see if it's pale brown throughout. If it's not, toast the nuts for another minute and check them again.
- Transfer the roasted nuts to another sheet and cool them completely. Wear oven mitts to take the Brazil nuts out of the oven and immediately spoon them onto a clean rimmed baking sheet. Leave the nuts to cool before you store them or eat them.[4]
- If you leave the nuts on the hot baking sheet, they'll continue to cook from the residual heat. They'll also take longer to cool down.
- To store the Brazil nuts, put them in an airtight container. Keep them at room temperature for up to 1 week.
[Edit]Making Stovetop-Toasted Nuts - Pour 1 cup (133 g) of Brazil nuts into a dry skillet. Set a large skillet on the stove and spread the nuts into the pan. Arrange them so they're in a single layer to help them cook evenly.[5]
- Avoid tossing the nuts with oil or melted butter, since the nuts already contain oil and extra oil would cause the nuts to burn.
- Turn the burner to medium and begin shaking the skillet. Put on an oven mitt and hold the handle of the skillet. Gently shake the skillet back and forth so it's still coming into contact with the burner.[6]
- Shaking moves around all of the nuts at once, but if you prefer, you could stir them constantly with a spoon or spatula.
- Cook the nuts for 2 to 4 minutes. Since the Brazil nuts toast much faster on the stove than in the oven, don't walk away from the skillet. Keep shaking the pan and turn off the burner once the nuts smell fragrant and turn pale brown.[7]
- If you don't shake the pan or move the nuts, they'll burn or blister in spots.
- Transfer the nuts to a sheet and cool or season them. Carefully spoon the toasted nuts onto a rimmed baking sheet or plate. You can leave them to cool completely or toss the nuts with any of the following flavorings before they finish cooling:[8]
- of melted butter
- 2 teaspoons (28 g) of honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) of ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch of mixed spice or cayenne pepper.
[Edit]Microwaving Brazil Nuts - Put 1 cup (133 g) of nuts into a microwave-safe dish. Get out a shallow bowl or pie plate and spread the Brazil nuts so they're in a single layer. If you don't want to toast a full cup, it's fine to use less.[9]
- If you'd like to roast more nuts, microwave them in batches instead of all at once. If you crowd the dish, the nuts steam instead of toast.
- Toss the nuts with optional oil, butter, spices, or sweeteners. For a richer taste, mix of vegetable oil or melted butter with the nuts along with 2 teaspoons (28 g) of honey or maple syrup, if you'd like them sweet. To make spiced nuts, stir in 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) of ground cinnamon and 1 pinch of mixed spice or cayenne pepper.[10]
- Microwave the nuts for 1 minute. Place the dish of Brazil nuts into the microwave and adjust the setting so it's at full power. Microwave the nuts for a full minute without stopping the machine or stirring the nuts.[11]
- Stir the nuts and microwave them in 30-second increments until they're pale brown. Carefully stir the hot nuts and spread them back into a single layer. Then, microwave them for another 30 seconds before stirring them again. Keep doing this until the nuts are fragrant and lightly brown.
- The total amount of time it takes to microwave the nuts depends on your appliance and the amount of nuts you're toasting.
- Remove the nuts and cool them in a separate dish. Put on oven mitts to remove the dish from the microwave and slowly pour the toasted nuts into another dish or rimmed baking sheet. Cool the nuts completely before you put them into an airtight container or begin eating them.
- To store the nuts, keep the airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Since Brazil nuts have such a mild flavor, it's fun to experiment with different flavor combinations. Add a squirt of your favorite hot sauce, spice mix, or sweetener before you toast the nuts.
