Kate Moss Just Found the Flat Shoes That Always Work With Bootcut Jeans
My usual frustration with pairing bootcut jeans
Finding the right footwear to pair with bootcut jeans is rarely a straightforward task. Heels always manage to elevate this particular denim silhouette. However, they are hardly the shoes I feel compelled to wear on a daily basis. That leaves flats, which have a reputation for being notoriously difficult to style with bootcut denim.

My usual frustration with pairing bootcut jeans and flat shoes is simple. The extra fabric tends to bunch up around the hemline, making the overall look appear sloppy. Loafers, however, provide a brilliant and effortless solution. Whether leaning into preppy academia vibes or boasting a glossy, polished finish, loafers introduce a sharper line. This refined structure successfully balances the relaxed character of the denim.
Keeping things simple yet completely coherent, Kate layered a black knit top with a thick black belt. She finished the outfit with a classic pair of black sunglasses. Carrying a stack of magazines tucked neatly under her arm, the supermodel delivered an aesthetic that feels entirely wearable. From the denim to the magazines, it is an effortless look I can easily picture myself relying on throughout the colder months and well beyond.
