Figuring out what to wear with Dunks can be difficult, because Dunks are so colorful. It is easy to end up looking like a clown unless you know what to pair the shoes with. If you follow the rules below you will have the right outfit for hitting the town.

  1. Colorful shirts go perfectly with Dunks. Dunks usually come in bright colors, so a nice colorful shirt will accent the shoes without creating a tacky look. Colorful shirts also provide an opportunity to match colors in your shirt with colors in the shoes. Since the shirt does not touch the shoes (like jeans do) there is no chance of a visual color overload. However, it is always okay to just go with a basic white T-shirt.
  2. Wearing plain jeans with Dunks creates a nice, classic look. Jeans are like the foundation of an outfit. It is important that the jeans do not have embellishment, fancy designs or lots of colors because Dunks make a loud color statement on their own. Pairing Dunks with a pair of dark blue jeans balances out the colors in the shoe. The dark color of the jeans looks classy without looking boring, and paring it with the colorful Dunks keeps the overall look very subtle.
  3. Embellished belts are a great accessory to pair with Dunks. A belt with a large buckle or one that matches colors from the shoe throws a nice color splash to the outfit.
  4. Jackets should not be too colorful. If you are wearing a jacket it does not need to match the shoes. A simple solid-color jacket is suitable.
