J.Lo Just Wore the Dated Shoe Trend That Magically Becomes Chic When Paired With White Jeans

Some people hoard shoes or are obsessed with bags, but for me, it's jeans. About 80% of my closet is filled with denim, mostly white jeans. I wear them in summer, fall, and winter because they are effortlessly chic and make anything I pair them with look expensive—even "dated" espadrilles. Don't believe it? Just look at Jennifer Lopez's recent outfit.
Over the weekend, J.Lo posted a series of photos on Instagram where she was sitting on a bicycle wearing white, cropped, straight-leg jeans paired with a crewneck sweatshirt and Celine espadrilles.

If espadrilles haven't crossed your mind lately, you're not alone. Seeing J.Lo style her Celine ones brought back many memories and made me wish I hadn't donated the pair I wore every day in middle school. To be clear, it's not just because they were designer that I thought they looked high-fashion—it's because of the white jeans. The light-wash denim with its minimalist design exudes sophistication, balancing the casual vibe of the espadrilles. Additionally, since the white jeans are a timeless style, they make the "dated" shoes look fitting for 2025, unlike if they were paired with a halter top and blue skinny jeans. Keep scrolling to see the look and find pieces to recreate it for late summer and early fall.
