Spotted in New York: the Elegant Summer Top and Shoe Trend That Makes Stovepipe Jeans Look Chicest
In the summer, stovepipe jeans look chicest with this elegant blouse and these strappy shoes.
If, like me, you invested in a pair of stovepipe jeans at the start of the year, you might now be looking for some fresh styling inspiration as the seasons shift. Back in January, you'd find me wrapped up in the slim-fit, high-waisted denim style with a grey wool knit layered on top and square-toe or pointed-toe boots peeking out beneath. But with the arrival of warmer weather, my approach to styling stovepipe jeans has taken on a decidedly chicer feel.
Recently acquainted with the ever-elegant scarf blouse trend, I've discovered that this versatile top is one of the chicest pieces you can pair with stovepipe jeans this summer. The relaxed nature of the denim tempers the blouse's polished finish, making it feel much more wearable for daytime, whilst the blouse elevates the jeans in return.
Showcasing the exact outfit formula I'm currently obsessed with, actor Camila Mendes was just spotted in New York wearing a sophisticated sleeveless scarf blouse with a pair of stovepipe jeans. Completing the look with the perfect summer shoe, Mendes opted for tall white strappy sandals. The barely-there design brought a sense of lightness to the full-length denim, while the crisp white hue added brightness and polish in one easy step.
Inherently elegant and incredibly easy to recreate, this blouse, jeans and sandal combination is one I'll be returning to all summer long. If you're equally tempted, keep scrolling to shop my edit of the best pieces to achieve the look.
