Kendall Jenner Just Wore the Cool Shoe Trend That Makes Skinny Jeans Feel Modern
Even fashion editors who spend our days swimming in runway images, sifting through styling ideas and casting eyes on endless new-season arrivals, figuring out how to make skinny jeans feel relevant again has proven tricky. After all, they dominated our wardrobes for more than a decade, and most of the footwear pairings we instinctively reach for still evoke the mid-2010s. That's why I was so enthused this morning when I caught sight of Kendall Jenner wearing her slim-fitting jeans with a shoe trend that managed to revive the silhouette. Working a jolt of colour into her off-duty look, the model stepped out in L.A. wearing her mid-wash skinnies with a slip-on pair of The Row's (currently on sale) Mila Satin Flats (£602) in a vivid shade of red.
Anchoring her jeans with a shoe colour trend that feels distinctly modern, Jenner breathed new life into the "dated" silhouette. The red satin lent her outfit a refined energy, while the flat mules' silhouette nodded to one of the season's favourite shoe shapes.
Keeping the rest of her ensemble easy and relaxed, she styled a simple sleeveless jersey top and a black leather shoulder bag—an easy formula that makes the whole outfit feel unfussy, approachable and far less intimidating than the over-styled skinny jean outfits of years past.
Inspired by her easy styling, read on to discover my edit of the best skinny jeans and red shoes to wear them with below.
