You might disagree, but It Girls believe this attractive shoe trend pairs better with jeans compared to mesh flats.
When considering spring fashion, flats are often the first option that comes to mind. They are perfect for transitional weather, being lighter than boots while still providing more coverage than sandals. Aesthetically, they appear softer and pair well with flowy dresses, skirts, and breathable denim. This season features numerous flat-shoe trends worth noting, including some that have returned from the past. For instance, the fashion-forward are opting for glove ballerinas and ruched loafers, while moving away from mesh flats and espadrilles. In terms of colors, black remains a classic choice, yet navy has become a favorite among trendsetters, as demonstrated by Laura Harrier's recent appearance. Recently in NYC, Harrier was seen with her friend and stylist, Danielle Goldberg, dressed in a casual yet stylish outfit consisting of low-rise baggy jeans, a black tank top, a blue button-down shirt, and navy velvet Venetian-style slippers. She topped off her ensemble with a baseball cap and cat-eye sunglasses.
Navy might not seem like the most obvious spring color, but for those who frequently wear black or brown, it offers an easy way to introduce more color into their wardrobe. It's as timeless as neutral tones and possesses a richness and depth that other hues lack. Furthermore, it's versatile, coordinating well with all shades of denim, black trousers, and, of course, a matching navy skirt or dress. If you're motivated to add navy or velvet flats to your collection, we've curated a selection of the best options along with ideal relaxed jeans to wear with them. Shop Navy Flats and Relaxed Jeans:
