The It-Girl Shoe Trend to Wear With White Jeans Is Officially Here
See how Tate McRae wears it here.
Every It girl has go-to summer shoes. For many last summer, they were toe-loop sandals and freaky flip-flops. This summer, the shoe trend is bold and elevated at once, and Tate McRae is the latest celebrity to endorse it. She was recently spotted in a chic ensemble, completing her outfit with a pair of metal-embellished, beaded sandals.
While attending the FIFA World Cup Final, McRae styled her all-white outfit in the chicest way, combining a cropped polo shirt, straight-leg jeans, and a Miu Miu Vivant Bag. Her Miu Miu beaded sandals elevated her look even more with the added texture and bold details, including oversize mixed-metal studs and rings. White jeans are having a major moment this summer, and the best shoe trend to complement them is beaded sandals, as they add an eye-catching contrast to the stark white denim. While you may have come across beaded sandals on Instagram, seeing McRae wearing a pair proves the trend has hit the mainstream.
