Women in Paris Style These 3 Elegant Shoes With Jeans and Skirts


We routinely turn to French women for outfit ideas given their effortless approach to style. The ensembles from Parisians that we save on Instagram are consistently equal parts easy and chic. And yes, they always include a forward shoe choice. On that note, there are specific summer shoe styles women in Paris are turning to over others, and they fall within the "elegant" category. Essentially, the silhouettes in question are pretty, sleek, and modern.
In addition, the said shoe trends seem to be paired the most with jeans and skirts—two staples that often complete some of the coolest outfits. Below, you'll uncover the three elegant summer shoe styles French women prioritize the most. It's also worth noting that the skirt and jeans silhouettes Parisians wear run the gamut, from relaxed denim to long silk skirts. Oh, you'll also uncover a range of shopping recommendations if you're looking to add a new pair of shoes, a skirt, or jeans to your wardrobe.
Slingbacks
As one of our fashion editors recently stated, slingbacks are a key shoe style to elevate an outfit. This outfit with the slingbacks and of-the-moment column skirt is about as chic as it gets.
Slingbacks with a lower heel or in the form of flats are also quite relevant with both jeans and skirts.
Court Shoes
As one of spring and summer 2024's most elegant shoe trends, court shoes are quickly becoming a key style among French women. This pair looks quite sleek with the cool leopard skirt.
The elegant pair of heels is so chic with the jeans and leather jacket.
Ballet Flats
Ballet flats, which have an easy-to-style silhouette, continue to hold strong as a go-to footwear choice for Parisians.
This pair of ballet flats in red is beyond elegant with the light-wash jeans.
