A few things are essential when matching a dress shirt with jeans:
1. Dress shirt fit: Ensure it fits your body. Also, a slim or tailored-fit dress shirt will typically look better with jeans than a looser, more traditional cut.
2. Jeans cut: Straight-leg or slim-fit jeans tend to look more polished than baggy straight styles.
3. Color: Lighter shirts tend to pair well with darker jeans and vice versa. Darker jeans without much distressing or fraying is more formal and thus more likely to pair well with a dress shirt.
4. Learn to layer the outfit: A well-fitted blazer, sweater, cardigan, or overcoat can add some sophistication to your dress shirt and jeans combo, especially in cooler weather.
