I’m Seeing it Everywhere, This is the Shoe Trend That Elevates Baggy Jeans
Baggy jeans can absolutely look chic—this is the shoe trend that always elevates them.
I can’t stop spotting it. All of a sudden, the chicest dressers have set aside their go-to trainers, and are instead pairing their relaxed and baggy jeans with a fresh spring shoe trend that makes the casusal denim feel far more chic.
Slowly eclipsing classic ballet flats, heeled ballerinas are the as the flat-adjacent style of the season. Stepping out in the chic two-piece look, Maude Apatow paired her slouchy black jeans with a tonal set of heeled ballerinas. Polished but not fussy, the delicate shoe brought a refined edge to her otherwise casual denim, elevating the entire outfit in the process.
Building a relaxed outfit from there, she styled the look with a simple black top, slinging a roomy burgundy tote over her shoulder. Forgoing heavy accessories, the understated ensemble still felt considered—made all the more impactful by her elegant footwear choice.
Arguably the most elevated shoe you can wear with baggy jeans right now, read on to discover and shop the best heeled ballerinas and relaxed denim below.
