Sarah Pigeon has paired her anti-CBK jeans with a surprisingly unexpected accessory.

      This week in New York, Sarah Pidgeon showcased the accessory trend that made her Khaite bootcut jeans look incredibly chic—and no, I’m not referring to her rumored partner, Joe Alwyn, who was seen walking beside the actress. While the internet is understandably preoccupied with other matters, I was captivated by the true highlight of her outfit: her black ballet flats. In a decision that defies nearly every styling rule I’ve ever followed concerning bootcut jeans, Pidgeon opted for a simple ballet flat rather than the typical leg-lengthening heels and pointed-toe shoes. With both feet firmly on the ground—regardless of what might be happening above—she brought back a jeans-and-shoe combination I hadn't considered in years.

      Bootcut jeans paired with ballet flats used to be a common sight in the 2000s and early 2010s until sleeker styles took their place. However, Sarah's choice has me questioning whether this nostalgic duo could be making a comeback. Paired with a basic white tank top, the outfit appeared effortlessly stylish in a refreshingly simple way. While not the accessory making the most headlines this week, it certainly captured my interest. Continue reading to find the black ballet flats and bootcut jeans I recommend below.
