This go round I’m focusing on flats to pair with wide leg jeans. These are just some of the options you can try. It’s a matter of experimenting with what feels intuitively right to you and landing on something you feel comfortable with trying.


The denim I’m wearing is the Baggy Paloma jean in mischief from Citizens of Humanity. They have various color ways. They fit slightly baggy and I had these specifically hemmed to wear with flats. I already own a darker pair of wide leg jeans which I styled here, so this lighter color was a style I could easily integrate into my wardrobe. And yes, I wear lighter colored denim in winter, too. Here are 5 flats that pair well with wide leg jeans.
