How I Styled Traditional Shoes with Jeans — And Got Compliments!

Let’s talk about something fun today — mixing tradition with everyday style.

At Ujaala, we’re all about handcrafted, eco-friendly shoes rooted in tradition. But just because something is traditional doesn’t mean it has to stay in the past, right?

The other day, I decided to wear one of my favorite pairs — bright yellow traditional shoes — with a simple pair of blue jeans and a casual shirt. Nothing fancy, just an ordinary office day. I honestly didn’t expect anyone to notice.

But guess what? I walked into the office, and suddenly people were stopping me to ask where I got my shoes from. A few coworkers even said the color made the whole outfit pop.

It made me think: Why don’t we wear traditional shoes more often with Western outfits?

They’re unique, they stand out, and they carry a story — something mass-produced shoes just can’t do. Plus, they’re incredibly comfy (shoutout to our artisans for that).

So here’s to blending styles, owning the beautiful casual juttis what we wear, and maybe inspiring a few others along the way.
