This Cheap Shoe-Styling Trick Is How to Keep Cropped Jeans From Looking Dated in 2025

There are certain celebrities whose style I will always trust, and one of them is undoubtedly Elsa Hosk. The supermodel, Helsa creative director, and obvious fashion girl always looks perfectly trend-forward yet elegant and regularly wears the most coveted It items before everyone else gets their hands on them.
As you may have heard if you followBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , Haute Couture Week and all of the celebrities who come with it have taken over Paris this week, and Hosk herself was on the front row at Valentino for new Creative Director Alessandro Michele's debut couture show, entitled Vertigineux. As celebs do when they attend the shows, Hosk wore a full Valentino look, which featured cropped jeans. Hosk isn't someone you'll often see wearing cropped jeans these days, but the styling of this outfit made me glad she did.
Cropped jeans are not the most popular denim trend of the mid-2020s, but there have been recent celebrity indications that they could be coming back. So if you're a cropped-denim fan and want to know how to make them look fresh in 2025, take note of Hosk's styling trick. She opted for a wide-leg pair (which I recommend over a slim-fitting pair) and what she wore on her feet was key. She went with a pair of red stiletto sandals, which would've been chic on their own, but she took it a step further and wore them with a pair of white lace socks, which made the cropped jeans look absolutely *chef's kiss.*
We're living in a sock-loving time in fashion, in which people are getting very creative when it comes to styling. And as Hosk just displayed, your next move should probably be to order a lace pair to wear with cropped jeans. Keep scrolling to make it happen.
