New shoe trends for spring 2026 are making jeans look more special, highlighting different shapes of jeans, whether skinny, straight or slightly flared.
Hailey Bieber has a lot of straight-leg jeans in her wardrobe. She pairs them with high heels that cover the top of the leg, giving her a more elegant and feminine look. Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner and Zoë Kravitz use flat shoes with covered uppers to combine with their non-shiny jeans.
Skinny jeans can look cool even after work with the right shoes, as Bella Hadid shows in blue jeans and animal print shoes. She chose shoes with small dots and small openings in the front. A week ago, Rihanna showed off tiger print shoes with similar jeans, with very sharp toes.
High heels and covered uppers are a key trend this spring. Hailey Bieber paired straight-leg jeans with high heels, inspired by the latest runway models.
Flat shoes, like ballerinas, also remain a favorite. Olivia Rodrigo and others wear them with jeans that have wider bottoms, giving them an attractive look.
Soft shoes, like loafers, are back this season. Zendaya and Meghan Markle wear them with jeans tailored down so as not to hide the shoes.
Jeans of different colors, such as brown or blue, can be combined with high or flat shoes, creating a different and beautiful style.
Open-toe shoes and animal prints are also a big hit. Bella Hadid wore them with straight-leg jeans and a leather jacket for a more rugged, '90s-inspired look.
