Trending denim styles are all over the map. One minute it’s barrel jeans, then it’s back to skinny jeans, and before you know it, long baggy jeans reign supreme. The truth is, you should wear whatever silhouette speaks to you the most. But what style is a front-runner for many stylish French women? Yes, copped jeans and cropped flares, specifically.
Bella Hadid wore the throwback denim trend (remember when they were everywhere a decade ago?!) in Cannes recently and with more and more fashion people stepping out in them (Parisians included), the style could be deemed as one of the silhouettes of the summer. Now, what is the best shoe style to pair with cropped flares and cropped jeans in general?
While sneakers are often a go-to choice with jeans (and certainly still work), it’s an elegant heel that French women are wearing. Note that Bella Hadid also wore this style with her cropped flares. Yes, I’m referring to pointed mules and pumps. This classic choice is always chic and brings that extra touch of polish to a look. The cropped nature of this denim style also allows the shoes to be fully shown off.
Keep scrolling to see how French women are wearing pointed heels with their cropped jeans, and shop a variety of heels and jeans if you want to emulate the look.
This ensemble is simple yet so chic with the cropped flares, black tank, and the coordinating black pumps.
