The light-wash-jeans buzz gets louder by the day, and celebrities are certainly doing their part to increase the popularity of the wash. One of the latest to endorse the trend is denim-loving Gigi Hadid. A few days ago, Hadid was spotted walking around New York City wearing an outfit that provided a perfect example of how to style light-wash jeans—including the ideal shoes to wear with them, specifically the ideal shoe color.

Truth be told, light-wash jeans work with pretty much any shoe color, which is one of the beautiful things about denim, but they really excel when paired with red shoes. There's something about the contrast of the vintagey faded-blue wash of the jeans and the vibrancy of the red shoes that makes for the perfect combination. With her trench coat and polo sweater, Hadid wore a pair of baggy light-wash jeans and red Miu Miu loafers. It's a combination I, for one, will be copying for the foreseeable future.
