Confirmed: All the Chic Girls in NYC Are Wearing This Shoe Shape With Jeans
This is the best way to wear them.
New York Fashion Week has officially come to a close, and I still can’t get over all the street style looks. While the runways set the trends, so do the attendees and the outfits they wear. Throughout the week, I noticed fashion editors and influencers alike wearing their jeans with a particular shoe shape that I believe will never go out of style: pointed-toe heels.
The outfits that contained this combination looked effortless and cool, and appropriate for any occasion. I’ve worn the combination of jeans and pointed-toe heels many times myself for dinner and nights out with my girlfriends. And pointed-toe shoes don’t always have to be a pair of pumps; you’ll notice in the outfits below that some fashion-forward dressers wore pointed-toe boots, mules, and slingbacks to mix things up. Even the fit of the denim you wear doesn’t necessarily have to be a skinny or wide-leg fit; you can wear whatever silhouette you feel fits you the best. Pointed-toe heels work with every denim style.

Jeans and Heels Outfits in NYC
Style Tip: An outfit built on good basics is always encouraged, and baggy jeans look so much more elevated when worn with pointed-toe heels.
Style Tip: While these jeans could look sloppy when paired with another type of shoe, the pointed-toe heels stop that from happening in an instant.
Style Tip: I love when a layered outfit looks effortless. The trick is to cuff your jeans just a bit to let your boots peek out.
Style Tip: Light-wash jeans are everywhere right now, and wearing them with a leather jacket and pointed-toe boots is the ideal way to embrace the transitioning seasons.
Style Tip: Pointed-toe slingbacks are timeless and cool. They make your jeans look elegant, but as you can see here, will also add a touch of edge to your outfits.
Style Tip: Frayed-hem jeans are back, and the easiest way to dress them up during this transitional time of year is with a cinch-waist jacket and a hair of pointed-toe ankle boots.
