The Denim Trend Fashion People Are Wearing With Ballet Flats
Ballet flats are the moment. Period. Sure, the style has been around for years, but the silhouette continues to rise in popularity this fall. This is in large part thanks to the abundance of fresh options in the F/W 22 collections (ahem, Miu Miu) and the celeb endorsements (looking at you, Kendall Jenner). While flats truly work with just about any pant, dress, or skirt style, there’s a specific denim trend the fashion crowd is wearing with their favorite ballet flats. Yep, it’s all about relaxed and baggy jeans.
The more oversize silhouettes (including the popular puddle jeans) make ballet flats feel all the chicer and modern. The combo also feels effortless and dressy, but laid-back at the same time. Below you’ll uncover a range of examples showcasing how style setters are wearing their baggy jeans and flats for fall outfit inspiration. If you want to add one or both trends to your wardrobe, don’t miss out on shopping recommendations either.
These puddle jeans are so on trend with the black flats. The addition of the oversize blazer brings an even more modern twist. P.S.—don't sleep on Italist for amazing deals on designer flats.
Wide-leg jeans teamed with a racing jacket and ballet flats? Just cool.
For a polished look, consider a tailored jacket with your favorite loose jeans and flats.
This is another A+ fit with ballet flats and those of-the-moment puddle jeans. The bomber jacket is a nice touch.
Jeans and colorful or printed flats also work so well together.
Love a white or ecru denim moment? Go for a baggier pair with ballet flats for an elevated look.
