Yeezys are sneakers designed by Kanye West, either in collaboration with Nike or Adidas. They come in low-top, high-top, and boot styles, and you can wear Yeezys with casual and nighttime looks. In particular, Kanye often rocks his Yeezys with tapered jeans and graphic T-shirts. Select your favorite Yeezy style, and wear them with button-downs, long-sleeved shirts, or tees. Then, pair your Yeezys with jeans, joggers, leggings, or shorts to create stylish outfits.

Method 1
Method 1 of 4:

Picking Socks

  1. 1
    Choose a black pair of socks for a modern, stylish look. It is most common to wear black socks with Yeezys, as they look trendy and athletic.[1]
    • You can choose from crew-length or no-show varieties.
    • If you don't prefer black socks, try white or colored options.
  2. 2
    Go with a pair of crew-length socks if you want to cover your ankles. Pull your socks up so they are straight around your ankle. This is a good idea if you are wearing 350s and don't want to cuff the leg.[2]

  3. 3
    Wear ankle socks if you want a streamlined footwear option. Ankle socks stop right around the top of the foot, making them virtually invisible when wearing your sneakers.[3]
    • Ankle socks look great if you are wearing skinny jeans or shorts, for example.
    • Do this if you are wearing a skirt or dress with your Yeezys.
  4. 4
    Roll up your pant legs if you want to show off your shoes. A great way to accent your Yeezys is by rolling up your pant legs. Cuff the bottom 1–3 in (2.5–7.6 cm) to expose your ankles.[4]
    • This way, your shoes become the statement piece of your outfit.

Method 2 of 4:

Picking Bottoms

  1. 1
    Try roomy, tapered jeans for a Kanye-approved look. Kanye often wears jeans that are roomy around the hip and crotch and have a tapered leg at the bottom. This way, you are comfortable and stylish and your pants don’t distract from your shoes. You can choose a skinny jean style or a tapered bottom in either black, tan, or denim. Oftentimes, Kanye rocks his Yeezys with bunched up fabric around the leg, so if your jeans are a bit bunched, that’s okay.[5]
    • Choose a pair of distressed denim for a edgy style. [6]
  2. 2
    Wear your Yeezys with joggers or leggings for a casual, relaxed style. If you want to style your Yeezys for the gym or to wear around town, throw on a pair of solid-colored joggers or leggings. Joggers are tapered, thin sweatpants great for athletic wear. Leggings are thin, stretchy bottoms that can be styled casually or dressy.[7]
  3. 3
    Pair shorts with your Yeezys for a summertime outfit. If you want to wear your Yeezys in the summer, simply throw on a pair of shorts. Select denim shorts for a casual style, or go with athletic shorts if you are going to the gym.
    • Wear your shorts with a graphic T-shirt or tank top, for example.
  4. 4
    Select a skirt or mini-dress with your Yeezys for a sexy, tomboy look. If you want to rock your Yeezys for a night out, wear a miniskirt or short dress. Be sure to wear no-show black socks with your 350s or V2s for a sporty yet stylish look.

Method 3 of 4:

Selecting Tops

  1. 1
    Wear a cool graphic T-shirt with your Yeezys for a casual style. Kanye often wears his Yeezys with a graphic T-shirt. Go with a shirt with a logo of your favorite band, sports team, or company, for example. Then, wear it with your Yeezys for a casual, stylish option.[10]
    • You can essentially wear any graphic tee with any pair of Yeezys.
    • For example, you can match a black shirt with black yeezys for a monochromatic look. This looks great for evening outfits, for instance. Throw on a pair of black pants as well![11]
  2. 2
    Go with an oversized fit for a hip-hop style. Oftentimes, Kanye wears baggy, solid-colored T-shirts with his Yeezys. This looks great as a casual, streetwear style. Go with a shirt 1 size larger than usual, or look for a long, baggy cut.[12]
    • Try a pastel-colored shirt to add a pop of color, for instance. Choose a salmon, blue, or green shade, and wear this with solid 350s or a colorful V2.
  3. 3
    Opt for a neutral-colored long-sleeved shirt or sweater on colder days. If you want to wear your Yeezys in the fall or winter, go with a tan, white, cream, or black long-sleeved or sweater. This will keep you warm while looking stylish and fresh. Then, pair your shirt with a 350 or a Yeezy boot, for instance.
    • You can also layer a T-shirt underneath your long-sleeve or sweater for extra warmth.
  4. 4
    Pair your Yeezys with a patterned button-down for a colorful look. If you want to add some color to your outfit, go with a short-sleeved button-down in patterns including floral, paisley, or Hawaiian. This is an easy way to add some color and texture to your outfit.[13]
    • You can wear a patterned button-down with tapered jeans and 350s or 750s, for example.
    • This is a great idea for summertime.

Choosing Your Yeezys

  1. 1
    Choose a pair of Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 for a casual athletic sneaker. The 350s are the most popular and widely-known Yeezy shoe. These lace up and feature a foam sole and mesh fabric outside. You can wear the 350 when working out and running errands, and you can easily pair them with casual or nighttime outfits.[14]
  2. 2
    Pick a pair of Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 if you want a pop of color. The 350 V2 is very similar in style to the 350s, though they have a colored stripe that runs across the side. The foot hole in this shoe is slightly tighter and more secure than with the 350 style.[16]
    • The color variations of the V2 include grey and red, black and green, black and red, black and copper, black and white, cream and white, red and yellow, and grey and orange.
    • There are also toddler-sized V2s.
  3. 3
    Go with the Adidas Yeezy Boost 750 for a streamlined, high-top option. The 750 is a popular sneaker because of its sleek look and high-top style. These look great with skinny jeans tucked in, for instance. Choose these if you want a simple sneaker to wear with many different outfits.[17]
    • Yeezy 750s come in light brown, all black, chocolate, and glow-in-the-dark.
    • The first Yeezy Kanye created was the 750 Boost in light brown.
  4. 4
    Select a Nike Air Yeezy for a basketball-inspired footwear option. There are many different styles of Air Yeezys, though most of them resemble high-top basketball shoes. Choose these if you want a pair of bold sneakers in to wear on the basketball court or with casual, athletic outfits.[18]
    • They come in grey, black, tan, white, and red varieties.
  5. 5
    Rock the Adidas Yeezy 950 or military style if you want a pair of boots. The 950 resembles an astronaut boot, as it is a high-top with smooth siding. In addition, the Yeezy military boot is a high-top with smooth sides, though it looks much more streamlined than the 950. Both of these are great options if you prefer a boot over a low-top sneaker.[19]
    • The 950 comes in moonrock (tan), chocolate (dark brown), black, and peyote (cream).
    • The Yeezy military comes in taupe, black, rock (tan and cream), dark grey, and burnt sienna.
    • If you go with a Yeezy boot, always tuck your pants into the shoe. This way, you can show off your shoes.[20]

    Absolutely! Yeezys can be worn casually with sweatpants, jeans and leggings for both women and men. They are THE accessory of the outfit. They can go with everything, even something you might not initially think of like a spaghetti strap dress from the 90s.

    Then save up. Don't go for fakes, because the trained eye will see the difference, and they will probably call you out on it. And also, fakes are illegal in most countries.
