The Shoes Fashion People Will Wear With the Anti-Skinny-Jeans Trend This Year

While skinny jeans will always be around (they basically fall into that “classics” category), relaxed jeans have been the denim cut du jour among the fashion crowd for the last few seasons. And yes, the baggy jean trend will hold strong in 2023 as well. There are a smattering of items that pair flawlessly with anti-skinny jeans, but I thought I’d highlight the specific shoe silhouettes style-setters will probably gravitate towards the most this year.

Below you’ll uncover the jean and footwear combos that are easy and effortlessly chic. As a preview, you’ll uncover the flats that feel quite elevated with the ever-so-popular puddle jeans.

Relaxed jeans and ballet flats is one of my favorite pairings for an effortlessly-chic vibe. I especially like when the jeans are a bit longer and “puddle” around the flats.

I personally live in this look with the relaxed jeans and loafers. It’s a classic look that’s always sleek.

Puddle jeans combined with stilettos or sling-back heels feel elevated and quite cool. Consider a look like this one with a blazer and a bodysuit.

You can’t deny the power of that perfect pair of black ankle boots to complete a forward ‘fit.
