Puddle Jeans Are Back—This Shoe-and-Top Combination Makes Baggy Denim Look Best
Puddle jeans are trending, and Kristen Bell knows they look best with a white T-shirt and black heels. Click to read why and shop the chic combo here.
You can pretty much guarantee that wherever there's a good jeans trend, I'll be right behind it. Whether it's Kate Moss-coded skinnies or a timeless pair of straight-leg jeans, I've long been a believer that the right shape can completely transform your personal style. Now puddle jeans are trending again, I've been looking for the best way to style the relaxed silhouette that fits loosely through the leg but gathers around the ankle, and then along came Kristen Bell, answering my prayers in a white T-shirt-and-black-heel combo worth its weight in gold.
Pictured just hours before the release of Nobody Wants This Season 3, the actress was spotted on the streets of New York in a washed pair of straight, puddle-leg jeans. With no gimmicks, clashing colours or vibrant prints, she used this classic pairing to show how an easy outfit that feels unfussy and inherently relaxed can still look polished and considered. Finished with a personalised canvas tote from BaubleBar and cat-eye sunglasses, her sleek black heels were the perfect finishing touch. A pointed toe for daytime? I'm convinced: the architectural sharpness immediately elevates distressed denim.
Sure, this look would have been just as good with trainers and ballet flats, a blouse or a chunky-knit jumper, but this exact combo is perfection. Elegant but not too contrived; if you want to replicate it, keep scrolling to see and shop the T-shirts and heels that make puddle jeans look their best.
