Not Brown, Not Black—This Surprising Shoe Colour Trend Makes Jeans Look Their Classiest

If I’m leaving the house, nine times out of ten, I’m doing it in jeans. Whether I’m running to the shops, heading into the office, or dressing up for the evening, denim is my default. Over the years, I’ve learned which pieces bring out the best in my jeans, so I thought I had my pairings perfected. This week, however, I spotted Sofia Richie Grainge styling her denim with a shoe choice so elegant it stopped me mid-scroll.

Instead of reaching for a predictable jeans pairing, like black ballet flats or loafers, Sofia opted for a glossy pair of Saint Laurent Satin Heels (£805) in a warm shade of beige. While black might have felt too stark and brown, a little boring, the beige satin felt soft against the denim’s texture, as well as being subtly light-catching in a way that made her whole look feel expensive.

Though I wear jeans daily, I’d never thought to pair them with beige satin heels. But the more I looked, the more it made sense. The sheen of the satin brings sophistication without overpowering, while the beige tone harmonises beautifully with pale-wash denim

To complete her look, Sofia layered on the SRG Eleanor Suede Bomber Jacket (£680) from her newly launched label, added black sunglasses, and carried a sleek leather tote.

Inspired by the easy, understated elegance of her outfit, I’ve tracked down Sofia’s outfit, as well as curated an edit of the best beige heels, jeans and suede jackets on the market right now. Read on to discover my picks.
