While skinny jeans will always be around (they basically fall into the "classic" category), relaxed jeans have been the denim cut du jour among the fashion crowd for the last few seasons. And yes, the baggy-jeans trend will hold strong in 2024 as well. There are a smattering of items that pair flawlessly with anti-skinny jeans, but I thought I'd highlight the specific shoe silhouettes style setters will probably gravitate toward the most this year.
Below, you'll uncover the jeans-and-footwear combos that are easy and effortlessly chic. As a preview, you'll uncover the flats that feel quite elevated with the ever-so-popular puddle jeans.

1. Jeans + Ballet Flats
Style Notes: Relaxed jeans and ballet flats is one of my favourite pairings for an effortlessly chic vibe. I especially like when the jeans are a bit longer and "puddle" around the flats.
Shop the look:
The slight square toe is really chic.
Agolde jeans come highly rated.
This nude shade is so versatile.
This pair is already becoming a best-seller.
I love the idea of the toe point peeking out under baggy jeans.
Black jeans work really well, too.
2. Jeans + Loafers
Style Notes: I personally live in this look with the relaxed jeans and loafers. It's a classic look that's always sleek.
Shop the look:
A classic.
A new cut from COS.
The gold accents are a nice touch.
Choose from three chic washes.
The patent finish won me over.
The raw hem adds a relaxed feel to this pair.
3. Jeans + Stilettos/Slingbacks
Style Notes: Puddle jeans combined with stilettos or slingback heels feel elevated and quite cool. Consider a look like this one with a blazer and a bodysuit.
Shop the look:
A pair you'll rely on forever.
Seriously oversized.
You'd never guess these were from the high street.
The mixed wash on this pair is so good.
An iconic pair.
If you like a wide range of colour options and sizes, Abercrombie & Fitch should be on your list.
4. Jeans + Ankle Boots
Style Notes: You can't deny the power of that perfect pair of black ankle boots to complete a forward 'fit.
Shop the look:
The mid heel height is surprisingly comfortable.
I love this true blue shade.
Simple, yet so effective.
This pair comes in regular and long lengths for the perfect fit.
Well done, Toteme.
