I’m in meetings with stylish fashion editors every day, so you can be sure I’m always paying attention to the outfits sweeping through the office. As a devoted denim wearer, I’m particularly attuned to the shoe trends people are pairing with their jeans, and recently I’ve noticed a common thread amongst some of the chicest women I work with.
Rather than reaching for classic kitten heels or dependable ballet flats, they’re styling their jeans with peep-toe heels. After spotting the pairing repeatedly at home, I started noticing it elsewhere, too. Most recently, Olivia Rodrigo stepped out in L.A. wearing low-rise jeans with the once-controversial shoe style, cementing its return.

Long swerved for its toe-baring finish, the divisive shoe is finally making a confident comeback. In fact, some of the season’s most talked-about shoe trends are those that spark the strongest reactions. And from what I’m seeing, the most stylish people are firmly on board.
Offering a fresh way to elevate jeans, after seeing how chic they look on the women inspiring me most, I’ll be taking their lead and wearing mine with denim all season long. If you’re thinking the same, read on to shop my edit of the best pairs below.
