Rather than sneakers, It Girls in L.A. are opting for baggy jeans paired with these "unexciting" flats.
If you’re feeling exhausted by baggy jeans, especially after they've been popular for so long, why not try pairing them with something other than sneakers? What if I suggested that the shoes I have in mind are just as relaxed and comfy as sneakers but provide a more stylish appearance? Additionally, this trend is favored by celebrities. Recently, Kendall Jenner has been frequently spotted in them, and both Margot Robbie and Riley Keough wore them in L.A. alongside baggy jeans and trendy long-sleeve tops. The trend in question is glove flats, which are essentially minimalist ballet flats crafted from soft leather that shapes to your foot. Some may label them as "boring," but remember, boring shoes can be chic, so that’s a positive spin. Two of the key brands currently promoting the glove-flats trend are The Row and Phoebe Philo, the designers behind the shoes Robbie and Keough opted for with their baggy jeans. Keep scrolling to check out similar styles and shop for glove flats to complement your own baggy jeans.
