It's True: Celebrities Always Rely On This Flat Shoe to Elevate Their Simple Jeans Outfits

We're always on the hunt for the next winning style combo, but lately, some of the most stylish dressers seem to be gravitating towards a timeless pairing of straight-leg jeans and loafers. Individually, these two hard-working staples are already part of our capsule wardrobe—straight-leg jeans are a failsafe silhouette, whilst classic loafers add a touch of polish. And when you put them together? Magic happens. The sleek lines of the jeans perfectly complement the refined simplicity of the loafers, resulting in an outfit that's both relaxed and put-together.

Celebrities and models alike have quickly caught on to this winning formula, often making it their go-to outfit. We've witnessed Taylor Russell effortlessly rocking the combo with an oversized yellow button-down and a cool blue cap. And then there's Emma Watson's version which included a pair of Prada loafers and a cardigan casually draped over her shoulder.

If you're one of the many who have been searching "How to look rich" on TikTok lately, take note—this is expensive-looking styling 101. Scroll to see all the ways celebs have been executing the look below and the best straight-leg jeans and loafers to re-create them.

Style Notes: In case you missed it, draping a cardigan over your shoulders is the key transitional styling right now. Drenched in preppy charm, it's an easy way to ooze quiet luxury, even if your budget doesn't quite match. And on the topic of luxury, I'm just as obsessed with Prada loafers as Watson appears to be. An investment piece no one will regret, their chunkiness feels a little more contemporary than other more slender options or those with gold hardware. 10/10, Emma—no notes.
