Hold the Sneakers—These Are the Elegant Shoes Parisians Are Wearing With the Jeans of Summer
Elevated and chic. Period.


Trending denim styles are all over the map. One minute, it's barrel jeans, then it's back to skinny jeans, and before you know it, long and baggy jeans will reign supreme. You should wear whatever silhouette speaks to you the most, but what style is a front-runner for many stylish French women? Yes, copped jeans and cropped flares specifically.
Bella Hadid wore the throwback denim trend (remember when it was everywhere a decade ago?) in Cannes recently, and with more and more fashion people stepping out in them (Parisians included), the style could be deemed as one of the silhouettes of the summer. Now, what is the best shoe style to pair with cropped flares and cropped jeans in general?
While sneakers are often a go-to choice with jeans, it's elegant heels that French women are wearing. Note that Hadid also wore this style with her cropped flares. Yes, I'm referring to pointed mules and pumps. This classic choice is always chic and brings that extra touch of polish to a look. The cropped nature of this denim style also allows the shoes to be fully shown off.
Keep scrolling to see how French women are wearing pointed heels with their cropped jeans and shop a variety of heels and jeans if you want to emulate the look.
This ensemble is simple yet so chic with the cropped flares, black tank, and coordinating black pumps.
The denim-on-denim look is incredibly popular, and the addition of the pointed heels ties the stylish look together perfectly.
The pointed mules are sleek with the distressed cropped jeans here. The jacket is a nice touch, but anything—from a blouse to a tank—could work if it's warmer where you live.
