Fashion Moms Can't Always Be Bothered With High Heels So They Wear This Shoe Trend With Jeans Instead
Whether you're grabbing dinner with friends or picking up the kids from school, this heeled-shoe trend always looks chic with jeans.
Fashion moms are our biggest style inspirations here at Who What Wear. Since they're always on the go, balancing school drop-off with meetings and after-work dinner plans, they know how to dress in a way that's comfortable, practical and endlessly stylish. One person we look to the most is Hailey Bieber because she always makes it look easy. Her recent outfit is a perfect example of effortless cool and sophistication without relying on high heels, trousers, or a dress.
While out for dinner in L.A. this past week, Bieber was photographed wearing a polished denim ensemble. She styled a fitted tweed jacket as a top, paired it with low-slung, relaxed jeans, and grounded the outfit with black ballet flat mules. True to her signature off-duty style, she accessorized with retro sunglasses and a tote bag from The Row.
If you follow Bieber's off-duty style, you know she loves ballet flats, especially paired with jeans. While she's typically seen in classic flats or those with a block heel, she's now making the case for a heeled mule, and we're here for it. The easy slip-on silhouette suits a busy, on-the-go routine, while the streamlined shape creates a balanced contrast against baggy jeans. Plus, the slight heel adds just enough lift for a touch of sophistication.
Even if you aren't a mom, taking a page from Bieber's style playbook by pairing heeled ballet mules with jeans is the ideal solution for days when uncomfortable heels are out of the question. To help you recreate the look, scroll down to discover the chicest heeled ballet mules and jeans.
