Despite the run of balmy days we’ve been enjoying, you’d still be hard-pressed to pry me away from my beloved jeans collection. It’s my year-round wardrobe staple, and even during the height of summer, I’m reluctant to part with it entirely. Instead, I’ve found myself searching for the denim silhouettes that feel best suited to warmer weather. At the top of my list? Cropped flared jeans.

A timeless style that feels especially relevant right now, cropped flares struck me all over again this week when I spotted Jennifer Garner wearing hers with the chicest anti-flat shoe trend. Forgoing the Mary Janes and ballet flats I so often see paired with kick-flare jeans, Jennifer elevated her outfit with a sleek pair of pointed-toe heels.

Whilst the cropped hem can sometimes visually shorten the leg, a pointed-toe heel works to elongate the frame, creating a more balanced silhouette. At the same time, the refined shoe lends the casual denim a smarter, more polished finish that feels inherently elegant.
