I pretty much wear jeans every single day, so I'm always looking for styling ideas. Living in Southern California, I can get away with wearing my Havaianas flip-flops year-round (styled in a Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy kind of way, obviously). However, they're not practical for the office, dinner, or fashion events, so I can't rely on them all the time. What other shoes should I wear with my beloved straight-leg jeans? That's where celebrities come in.
I looked through hundreds of photos of celebrities wearing straight-leg jeans and noticed several recurring themes—eight to be exact. They tend to wear this style of denim with eight specific shoe styles, including Mary Jane flats, clogs, and loafers. Below, I've picked my favorite outfits worn by Dakota Johnson, Katie Holmes, Olivia Rodrigo, Laura Harrier, Ayo Edebiri, Gigi Hadid, and more.
1. Black Loafers
G.H.Bass has been perfecting loafers since 1876.
These Tory Burch loafers have excellent reviews on Nordstrom's website.
2. Clogs
I live in shearling-lined shoes every winter.
You can't go wrong with these cult-classic shoes by Birkenstock.
3. Mary Jane Flats
These shoes are a perennial best seller at Nordstrom.
I added these to my Pinterest wish-list board immediately.
4. Pointy-Toe Ankle Boots
The kind of boots that will never go out of style.
Hurry: These won't be on sale forever.
5. Adidas Sneakers
Everyone loves these sneakers, including Olivia Rodrigo.
I also love the white version.
6. High-Heeled Sandals
Sleek and stylish.
These heels have fantastic reviews on Nordstrom's website.
7. Mules
These mules are ridiculously comfy.
I adore this chocolate brown.
8. Pointy-Toe Pumps
These pumps are the perfect way to dress up your straight-leg jeans.
This sale price is very tempting.
