The Shoes and Tops That Look the Best With Non-Skinny Jeans
Despite their polarising nature, skinny jeans are basically a classic cut at this point. But in terms of the more forward silhouettes right now, relaxed straight-leg jeans reign supreme. These non-skinny jeans are a fashion-person favourite and bring a modern feel to any look, alongside boyfriend and mom silhouettes. These looser fits are also incredibly versatile.

Below, we're showcasing the items that look great with non-skinny jeans. You'll notice everything from cool oversize shirting styles and trainers to romantic tops and strappy heels. Keep scrolling to see and shop the chic combinations.
