Everyone on my feed is sporting baggy jeans—here are the 7 types of shoes that look the most stylish with them.

      If you regularly read Who What Wear UK, you might be familiar with my enduring affection for baggy jeans. Versatile, stylish, and incredibly comfortable, this once-nostalgic denim shape has evolved beyond its ‘90s and Y2K roots, receiving approval from various generations as we head into winter 2025. If you’re still hesitant, it’s worth noting that today’s baggy jeans differ from the super-wide styles made famous by True Religion years ago; while still roomy, they offer a more structured and polished look. Nevertheless, despite their fashionable potential, there’s one question I, as somewhat of a baggy-jeans enthusiast, frequently encounter: What shoes should be worn with baggy jeans?

      Baggy jeans are loose, oversized, and inherently casual, which can create a conundrum when it comes to selecting footwear. Once you’ve crafted an outfit that feels both trendy and uniquely you, it can be disappointing if your shoes don’t align with the intended aesthetic. While trainers naturally fit their laid-back vibe, what if you’d like to elevate the look a bit? Will pointed-toe shoes provide the sharpness you’re seeking? And could shearling-lined boots appear too youthful (the answer is no)? Loafers generally are a reliable choice, but do specific colors yield better results?

      Considering runway creations, baggy jeans have appeared in major collections for several seasons now. Designers have styled them with chunky boots and tucked into vinyl knee-high varieties; in fact, there’s been no shoe combination that hasn’t been tried. However, many of those styles aren’t the most practical for everyday wear. Thankfully, fashion insiders have showcased numerous easily replicable baggy-jeans outfits that simplify styling for winter 2025. Be it a sculpted pointed toe or a dependable ballet flat (depending on weather conditions), here are seven excellent shoe options to wear with baggy jeans this season.

      ### 7 Shoe Options for Baggy Jeans

      1. **Pointed-Toe Shoes**

       **Style Notes:** Let's cover the basics first. If you ever wondered whether pointed toes pair well with baggy jeans, I’m here to clarify. Pointed-toe boots or shoes can create a leg-lengthening effect, making your legs appear elongated. It’s a smart play of proportions: the loose fit of the baggy jean balances nicely with the sleek finish of the shoe, adding height even if you choose a lower heel or flat.

      2. **Shearling-Lined Boots**

       **Style Notes:** Can you think of a better winter combination than baggy jeans and cozy shearling-lined boots? This pairing offers both comfort and warmth and has been embraced by Gen Z across social media. However, I’m here to show that this style works for any age. Styled with a standout coat and well-chosen accessories (like a structured belt), this look can quickly shift from scruffy to chic.

      3. **Loafers**

       **Style Notes:** This winter, you don’t have to stick to traditional black loafers; introducing printed and colored versions can inject cheer into gloomy days. For a more understated style, non-black neutrals like brown, burgundy, and grey can be refreshing. Take inspiration from Hollie Mercedes (as pictured above); her pale grey loafers add polish to her winter ensemble while also brightening her overall look.
