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.
