Not Trainers—The Coolest Women In Their 60s and 40s Are Wearing Straight-Leg Jeans With These Shoes Instead
I’ve been street style spotting this summer—the chicest women have ditched jeans and trainers. They're wearing denim with this shoe instead.
We're approaching that sweet spot in summer when the temperature dips just enough to make styling your favourite jeans feel appealing again. At the same time, sandal season is far from over, and thus, the perfect conditions for one of my all-time favourite outfit formulas—straight-leg jeans and thong sandals—has arrived.
In fact, I'm already seeing this styling formula find its feet. Spotted on the very same evening, Cindy Crawford and Claire Foy stepped out in the combination, putting a spotlight on the jeans and shoe combinaiton that chicest dressers will be wearing next.
Wearing jeans in the same timeless cut, Cindy and Claire swapped skinny and flared styles for relaxed straight-leg jeans with a slightly oversized, '90s-inspired fit. Keeping their looks effortless, they paired their jeans with pared-back flat sandals—Cindy opting for sleek T-bar thong sandals, whilst Claire chose simple flip-flops.
Whilst Cindy completed her look with a billowy black blouse and Claire leaned into the approaching season with a rich red knit, this jeans and shoe trend works just as well with a simple white tank or classic T-shirt, making it an easy outfit formula to you can revisit throughout the rest of summer and well into early autumn.
