I can’t stop spotting it. All of a sudden, the chicest dressers have set aside their go-to trainers, and are instead pairing their relaxed and baggy jeans with a fresh spring shoe trend that makes the casusal denim feel far more chic.
Slowly eclipsing classic ballet flats, heeled ballerinas are the as the flat-adjacent style of the season. Stepping out in the chic two-piece look, Maude Apatow paired her slouchy black jeans with a tonal set of heeled ballerinas.
