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. Polished but not fussy, the delicate shoe brought a refined edge to her otherwise casual denim, elevating the entire outfit in the process.

Building a relaxed outfit from there, she styled the look with a simple black top, slinging a roomy burgundy tote over her shoulder. Forgoing heavy accessories, the understated ensemble still felt considered—made all the more impactful by her elegant footwear choice.
