Although we're technically still a couple of months away from the start of spring, this week's warmer weather and brighter days have me ready to embrace the new season ahead of time.
Someone who is clearly on a similar wavelength to me is Cameron Diaz, who I just spotted at a red carpet event wearing the exact jeans and flat-shoe combination I'm saving for early spring. Forgoing the silky dresses and tall heels we typically see at these events, Diaz went in a decidedly casual—yet immensely chic—direction with her outfit choice. Dressed entirely in Gucci, the actor wore the denim trend set to shine for the next six months (at least), Diaz selected a pair of deep indigo high-waisted jeans, pairing them with a simple and sophisticated black leather loafer.
Although there's a certain comfort in styling wool trousers and heavy-soled boots day in and day out during winter, Diaz's fresh combo will make your 2025 outfits feel much more current in the process. Loafers have a place in any cold-weather capsule—they provide just enough coverage to keep your feet warm (and they work well with chic socks), then, come spring, you can wear them on their own without a care.
A little less obvious than the lighter shades of denim that typically come to the fore for spring, dark-indigo jeans are one of my favourites to wear across the warmer months. Making your casual denim feel so much more sophisticated, indigo jeans wear well with elegant tops like Diaz's scarf blouse, but will also look the effortless part with a white tee or a neat knit.
Inspired to update my wardrobe with the two-piece outfit combination I know I'll come back to throughout spring, read on to discover my edit of the best indigo jeans and loafers.
