This Is the Exact Flat-Shoe–and–Jeans Color Combination Fashion People Will Wear This Fall

I know, I know—it's not even summer yet. But if you're in London right now, like Bella Hadid is, it kind of feels like fall, so an outfit she just wore there is a good indicator of what everyone else will be wearing from September on (she's quite influential, to say the least).
If you're like us and keep a very close eye on everything that Hadid wears, you've probably seen that she's been on a tear the past week or so, wearing one chic after another in Cannes and doing the same upon landing in London soon after that. The outfit I'm putting on your radar today was one she wore while departing her hotel in London over the weekend. It consisted of a striped vintage turtleneck sweater, a wide leather belt, and the aforementioned jean-and–shoe-color combination that'll be everywhere this fall, which is dark-wash jeans and dark-brown flats.
Specifically, Hadid wore a pair of loose straight-leg jeans and Gucci's iconic leather Jordaan loafers. Together, the jeans and shoes look rich and elegant, even though they're jeans and flats. So, if you're ready to get a jump-start on your fall shopping (it's never too soon, in my opinion), scroll to join Hadid and shop for dark-wash jeans and dark-brown flats. And depending on where you are in the world (as in, the UK), you might even be able to wear these pieces now.
