Confirmed: This Is the Specific Low-Key Jeans Trend to Wear With Flats This Summer

You’d be surprised to know that someone as stylish as Jodie Turner-Smith was spotted wearing a trend that might be deemed “dated,” but the L.A. style star was recently seen sporting a nostalgic style that was not on my summer 2026 bingo card. While out and about at a local farmers market, Turner-Smith lugged her groceries while wearing a gray tank top with none other than a pair of drawstring jeans. Naturally, Smith made them look anything but dated and styled them in a way that felt so current.

The rest of her look was kept quite low-key and felt very L.A. She styled her drawstring jeans with a pair of controversial “weird” Vibram FiveFingers flats and further accessorized with minimal black sunglasses and her phone hanging from her shoulder like a mini bag. Drawstring pants are certainly having a major moment this summer, but drawstring jeans feel fresh. Thanks to Turner-Smith, I predict we were just introduced to the next It-girl trend of the season.
