Yes, there actually is a “cool girl” way to style jeans and sandals right now, and, fresh from the streets of Los Angeles this week, Lucy Hale demonstrated exactly what it looks like. Forgoing slim-fitting denim and chunky caged sandals, she instead reached for slouchy wide-leg jeans and understated, ’90s-inspired flip-flops—the chicest way to wear denim and get your toes out this summer.
The loose-leg jeans skim the frame for a comfortable and relaxed feel. Meanwhile, the barely-there flip-flops keep the look streamlined and balance the volume of the denim, whilst the slip-on design plays into the unfussy energy of the look
Styled with a simple strappy tank, a baseball cap and, with a smoothie in hand, Lucy delivered one of the coolest—and most L.A.—looks I’ve spotted all summer.
To get this chic styling formula right, let the jeans puddle slightly and hang loose, then offset their volume with sleek, minimal sandals. Taking Lucy’s outfit as my blueprint, scroll on to shop the wide-leg jeans and ’90s-inspired flip-flops I’d recommend buying—and wearing together—this season.
