Millennials and Gen Z Agree—This Is the Coolest Way to Style Bootcut Jeans
Low-rise bootcut jeans might not be the easiest to style—but Margot Robbie just showed us how it's done.
I’ll be the first to admit it: low-rise bootcut jeans have never been the easiest sell. Between the flared hem, which can feel oddly proportioned with flat shoes, and the hip-hugging rise that rarely sits quite right, I’d long dismissed the silhouette as more trouble than it’s worth. That is, until recently.
Spotted out in London, Margot Robbie made the case for reconsideration, stepping out in the very denim style I’d long written off. Styled into a distinctly ‘00s silhouette, Margot's look began with Dilara Findikoglu's hip-grazing, bootcut Rushing Hour Jeans (£1250). Rendered in inky black and detailed with strap accents running down the leg, the pair felt far grungier than her usual denim rotation. But not out of place amongst the darker, moodier aesthetic she's been reaching for throughout her Wuthering Heights press tour.
To soften the toughness of the trousers, Robbie leaned into romance, pairing them with a floral-embellished corset top in shimmering gold and pink tones. The contrast brought a feminine balance to the look while offsetting the exaggerated flare of the jeans.
Following with the perfect shoe pairing, Margot amplified the leg-lengthening effects of the jeans by pairing them with a tall, pointed-toe heel in a tonal shade of black.
Whilst Margot is a millennial herself, this look undoubtedly plays up to Gen Z's penchant for a '00s silhouette, I can already tell that Margot's top, jeans and shoe pairing will be everywhere once the weather starts to warm.
