Embracing Versatility: The One Style of Denim That You Can Wear With Every Style of Shoe

Dallas fashion blogger wearing a pair of grey Levi's Jeans with a cropped blazer and black heels as one of 5 ways to style the most versatile style of denim.

In the ever-evolving world of fashion, one essential piece stands out as a timeless staple: the slim straight-leg jean. Renowned for its flattering silhouette and extreme versatility, this jean style effortlessly transitions from casual weekends to polished office or going-out looks. What truly sets it apart, however, is its ability to harmonize with a wide array of shoe styles, making it a must-have in every wardrobe.

The reason this style of denim works with every shoe such as heels, flats, boots, booties, and sneakers is because of it’s the perfect length.  Since the hemline hits right above your ankle bone there is no bunching going on when you wear heels, flats, or sneakers and the slim straight-leg fits seamlessly into boots. For this reason, the slim straight-leg denim silhouette is the perfect style of jeans to wear with ANY STYLE of shoes!

PRO STYLING TIP: If any of these jeans in this post or any jeans in your closet for that matter are too long meaning the hem-line hits BELOW your ankle bone an easy quick-fix is to take them to the tailor and have them shortened to that length.  I tell all of my clients do to this with this style of jean and when they do they love the way they look in their jeans so much more!

So if you don’t already own this functional and versatile style of denim you need a pair, trust me, you’re future self will thank you and me!  I swear by these Levis jeans which are part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale by the way which means they’re ON SALE making them only $66 if you can believe that!  I’m also featuring several other pairs of the slim straight-leg denim silhouette in today’s post to give you options because I know y’all like options!  So keep scrolling for 5 ways to style the most versatile style of denim on the market!

Mother is one of my all-time favorite denim brands and this pair is seriously SO good! The mid-rise is great for those who don’t love a super high waist and I love the distressing details at the hem.
