3 Flat Shoe Trends Everyone Is *Still* Wearing With Jeans

Much to the delight of flat-shoe lovers, the fashion industry has embraced them in recent seasons. In fact, many of the biggest shoe trends right now happen to be flats, and frankly, we love to see it
You've probably decided to read this story because you're a fan of both flat shoes and jeans, as am I, and I always keep an eye out for shoe trends people are wearing with denim, and I'm here to report that they haven't changed much lately. The three flat styles I'm discussing are fairly casual and have been consistently popular for the past year. That tells me these standout flat-shoe trends have longevity, so adding another pair to your collection wouldn't be a waste.
Keep scrolling for the three flat shoe trends people are still wearing with jeans (and with some stylish inspo on how to wear them) and shop current styles to pair with your denim. Enjoy.
1. BALLET FLATS
Ballet flats add a sweetly elegant touch to a jeans outfit. It's been a while since Miu Miu launched the trend's revival, but it seems that no one has grown tired of them yet.
Style Notes: Our favourite easy outfit combo? An oversized shirt + blue jeans + ballet flats.
Style Notes: Put a modern spin on the suit by pairing a black blazer with dark denim. A metallic flat serves to add a statement pop of colour.
Style Notes: Take note–flats don't just work with straight leg jeans alone, they're equally good with the baggy, loose legged jean currently taking over our feed.

2. ADIDAS SNEAKERS
Adidas Samba and Gazelle trainers are ubiquitous, and the craze surrounding them shows no signs of fading. Lately, I must confess to having acquired more Adidas trainers than I'd like to admit, so it brings me joy to see that everyone else is still as obsessed as I am.
Style Notes: Double denim? Yes please. Adding a retro dose of colour makes it even coooler too.
Style Notes: Proof that you can wear trainers in any season, any weather.
Style Notes: Brights and pastels are always fun to style, but all black pairs can be equally arresting.

3. LOAFERS
Loafers are a simple and effortless way to elevate the look of jeans. They offer incredible versatility and effortlessly complement every denim style out there. It's no wonder that people can't seem to get enough of this trend.
Style Notes: Lucy Williams manages tick off three major trends in just one look: waistcoats, relaxed fit jeans and a chunky loafer.
Style Notes: We rely on this exact outfit combination so often it should be called the "Who What Wear uniform."
Style Notes: All loafers are chic, but we're suckers for black leather and a square toe.
