As denim fans fans, we’ve noticed there’s one trend climbing high on everyone’s list: wide-leg jeans. Don’t believe us? The 2025 runways saw Coach, Prada, and Versace (just to name a few) all highlight the silhouette—and with good reason.
You can wear them slightly oversized with a tank for a casual, baggy look, and easily make them dressier if you swap out for an embellished pair with a fitted corset. Now that we’ve given you some ideas, you may be questioning how to finish off your look off with your shoes.
As we head into the dreaded transitional period (we’re mourning summer already), we’ve cherry-picked some of the most stylish footwear to see out the hot months and get you ready for fall.
Peep-toe heels
Upsize on your wide-leg for a baggy fit that you can pair with a dialled-up white tank like the IT-girls do. Pair with an animal print peep-toe and aviator shades for infinite brownie points.
Heeled mules
Our love affair with a good heeled mule is never ending. Toss on a neutral pair with a light-wash wide-leg jeans, a button-up, and matching varsity jacket for an effortless fit to keep on your roster.
Flip-flops
Oversized fits will always have our heart and the key is how you layer them. Break up your Canadian tux with a lacy white dress over your jeans, and cement your style credentials with your favorite flip-flops and a textured headscarf. All the trends at once!
Pointed-toe pumps
Looking for a bit of extra polish? Add a coordinating pointed pump to your cuffed, dark-wash wide-leg jeans. Top off with a cropped polo and a contrasting flapped bag for instant perfection.
Clogs
Whether it’s a Birkenstock or otherwise, clogs are here to stay. Make like an off-duty model by pairing yours with a ribbed tank and chocolate brown leather jacket.
Trainers
A trainer and jeans combo is a tried-and-true classic. Pair your Nike Dunks (or Sambas if you like an even slimmer silhouette) with a tube top and cropped jacket for a simple and sleek look.
