Stylishly Attired Individuals Recognize That This Flat-Shoe Trend Instantly Enhances Baggy Jeans.
In recent months, I’ve been opting for straight-leg styles more frequently than my baggy jeans—they simply match the polished vibe I’ve been aiming for. Although I appreciate the comfort of relaxed denim, they’ve started to feel a bit too informal for daily wear. Just as I was getting used to this denim dilemma, I noticed Laura Harrier sporting a denim trend I had previously considered too casual—but styled in a way that felt notably refined.
The key difference is in her choice of footwear. Instead of the usual casual flip-flops or simple trainers I tend to wear with loose denim, Harrier paired hers with sleek leather loafers, giving her look a sophisticated touch. The loafers' structured design and inherently preppy vibe added a refined element that elevated the denim without looking out of place. (Image credit: Backgrid)
She kept the rest of the outfit straightforward yet thoughtful: a crisp white T-shirt, a well-fitted suede jacket layered on top, and a woven chocolate-brown bag to complete the look. Her ensemble was not only comfortable enough for all-day wear but also stylish enough for any daytime plans, setting a standard for how to wear baggy jeans while looking polished.
This season, I plan to follow Harrier's lead and reach for loafers whenever I pull out my looser denim. Scroll down to shop the chic shoe-and-denim combination I’ll be living in this summer.
