When it comes to celebrity style inspiration, I look to different people for different things. If I'm in need of sleek office outfits I'll turn to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. If I'm searching for a partywear refresh, I'll probably consult Laura Harrier. And if I'm after some day-to-day ideas, I'll turn to Rochelle Humes.
Championing jeans in her wardrobe with the same fervour as I do, I often check in with Humes via social media to see how she's invigorating her denim collection with new-season pairings throughout the year. Having spent a fair amount of time studying her looks, I've come to recognise some recurring themes. Humes has bid farewell to any semblance of a skinny silhouette and has instead been leaning on wide-leg and baggy styles of late, experimenting with colours and shapes rather than fit.
On the shoe side, it's clear that she has some favourites. Mixing and matching her go-to jeans and shoes in myriad ways, the singer isn't short of chic capsule-wardrobe styling inspiration. Read on to discover four jeans and shoe pairings that Rochelle Humes has been relying on this summer, and give your own jeans outfits a new lease of life with some fresh picks.
4 JEANS AND SHOE PAIRINGS I'M STEALING FROM ROCHELLE HUMES
1. MID-WASH DENIM + MARY JANES
Style Notes: Although I'm partial to light-wash jeans, my heart remains true to the most classic of washes—the perfect shade of mid-blue denim. And apparently, Humes' feels the same. Styling her mid-wash jeans with a pair of pretty Mary Janes, the singer pulled together a comfortable ensemble that's so easy to emulate with a few basic buys. This is a look I'll be re-creating stat.
