Flat Shoe–and–Skinny Jean Outfits That'll Still Be Cool in 2017
Just like you, dear readers, celebrities love wearing skinny jeans with flat shoes. Fashion girls like Olivia Palermo, Alexa Chung, and Miranda Kerr wear this comfy, classic combination for occasions both casual and dressy, and they switch up the types of flat shoes they wear with their skinnies accordingly. Ankle boots, athletic styles, and feminine flats are all present and accounted for.
With a focus on classic and forward styles that will undoubtedly still be popular in 2017, we looked to these stylish celebrities and chose the flat shoe–and–skinny jean pairings (and outfits) that they wear on repeat.
Why the focus on flat shoes and not heels, you ask? In our opinion, flats are the shoes that look coolest with the formfitting denim style. Heels can feel a little "sexy" with skinny jeans while flats feel more versatile and effortless.
