9 Chic Jean-and-Shoe Combos From Kate Middleton, Priyanka Chopra, and More
We can't imagine a world in which jeans aren't a staple in our weekly wardrobe rotation. Skinny, kick-flare, wide-leg—if it's denim, we'll take it. But sometimes even our basics need a little refresh. And when we're in need of a little inspiration, we look to the stars (celebrities, that is).
Celebs have a knack for turning casual wardrobe pieces into a glam 'fit we want to re-create ASAP. With the entire fashion catalog at their fingertips, it's important to note that these ladies choose to not reserve denim just for the weekends. They're as comfortable making a statement in bootcut jeans as they are in a ball gown.
So the next time you're ready to up your denim game, try some of these chic jean-and-shoe combos below. We promise you can always default to your tried-and-true sneakers another day.
Faded Denim + Leather Booties
Kourtney Kardashian perfectly balances out her bold tie-dye top with a monochromatic look. Don't be afraid to play with texture like pairing faded jeans with leather booties.
Light-Wash Jeans + White Mid-Calf Boots
We're stoked to know white boots aren't going anywhere yet. Elsa Hosk gives her standard light-wash jeans a little flare with a pair of mid-calf white boots.
Black Skinny Jeans + Black Knee-High Boots
Every so often, we get to experience Kate Middleton putting an edgy spin on her preppy palette. In this look, she swaps out the expected route of trousers and riding boots for black skinny jeans and knee-high boots.
Straight Ankle Jeans + Sculptural Heel Boots
Once you're done fawning over Priyanka Chopra's multicolored plaid coat, you'll notice her outfit underneath is quite simple: a white baby tee, straight ankle jeans, and a pair of boots. But it's the boots' sneaky architectural heel that put this tried-and-true outfit a step above the rest.
Slouchy Jeans + Combat Boots
We love Kaia Gerber's reinvention of some of our favorite '90s trends: a turtleneck sweater, baggy jeans, and a pair of combat boots.
Denim Culottes + Strappy Heels
We may not be able to cop Margot Robbie's cute Chanel cardigan, but we can cop the rest of her look. Here, she complements her denim gauchos with everyone's favorite summer trend: a strappy heel.
Two-Tone Denim + Basic Black Mules
We love the idea of two-tone denim making its way back in. Kendall Jenner keeps the statement-making jeans in the spotlight by selecting a simple pair of black mules.
Pleated Denim + Nude Pumps
Yara Shahidi can do no style wrong in our book. Here, she dresses up a pair of laid-back, pleated gauchos with a matching cropped jacket and basic nude heels.
Relaxed Wide-Leg Jeans + Heels
There's nothing better than being introduced to an entirely new outfit idea. Gigi successfully combines a cropped suit jacket with a pair of high-waisted, wide-legged jeans, and pointy pumps. We're already making plans to attempt this on our next Friday out.
Up next: the wildly popular jeans no one can keep in stock right now.
Ray Lowe is a contributing editor forBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing . She's spent the last decade living in New York, but now that she professionally works from home, she's slowly been going back to her roots by splitting time between NYC and L.A. A year ago, she left a four-year stint as a fashion editor for Refinery29 to explore the freelance life. Nowadays, she does just about everything from penning online articles (forBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , Refinery29, Elle, Cosmo, and many more) to writing scripts, styling, and finding ways to fuse her love for both Disney and fashion. Her main beat is fashion (trends, emerging brands, affordable finds, you name it), but you may find her dropping in with a beauty story every now and then. As for her personal style, she'd best describe it as a balanced blend of basics and contemporary trends, often with a dash of Mickey Mouse thrown in for good measure. In her spare time, she can be found coddling my pets (a French bulldog and a rescue cat), curating travel itineraries for her friends, scrolling through Instagram for up-and-coming brands, and watching so-bad-they're-good films.
