High-Waisted Stovepipe Jeans Are Trending—These Are the Shoes That Make Them Look Chicest
Yes, high-waited jeans are coming back—they look chicest in this cut with these shoes.
Rejoice! High-waisted jeans are trending again. After so many seasons dominated by low-rise silhouettes, their more wearable counterpart is reclaiming its place as we speak. Be it the persistent pull of '90s nostalgia, or perhaps the collective fatigue with ultra-low waistbands, but either way, high-rise, stovepipe cuts are shaping up to be the season's chicest jeans.
It’s been a while since this particular fit held centre stage. Last year, slouchy low-rise styles ruled; before that, baggier, boyfriend jeans had their moment. Now, the high-waisted stovepipe jean trend offers a little reset. And as I reacquaint myself with the silhouette, I’ve been considering the shoe pairings that make it sing. Right on time, Dua Lipa stepped out in the combination that makes this denim style look its best.
Heading out for the evening, she chose an inky-black pair of high-waisted stovepipe jeans, styled with tonal square-toe boots. The sharp geometry of the toe added an edge to the streamlined denim, bringing structure and intention to an otherwise pared-back look. Where pointed styles can skew dressy, and rounded toes sometimes fall flat, square-toe boots neatly complement the relaxed jeans every time.
Keeping the rest of her look sleek, Lipa layered a crisp white T-shirt beneath a black button-down and a tailored blazer, finishing with a glossy leather shoulder bag and swept-back hair.
If you’re ready to reintroduce this denim into your rotation, consider this your cue. Scroll on to shop the chicest high-waisted stovepipe jeans and the square-toe boots that make them look their very best.
