Jeans are a typical American clothing piece. They come in many different styles and washes. To find the right pair of jeans, just try on different options and decide which one looks best on you.

To finish the look of a typical American, you also need to choose shoes. Sneakers, flip flops, ballet flats or heels are fine. If you’re not sure about the color of the sneakers, just go with plain black or white sneakers. Flip flops can be fun, but may take some getting used to. Whatever shoes you choose, make sure they’re not too flashy or big.
