Charlize Just Wore the Chicest French-Girl Jeans and Heels Pairing

If you’re planning on wearing jeans with heels this summer, I’d suggest skipping last season’s slimmer stovepipe pairs and instead taking your cues from Charlize Theron, who this week stepped out in New York wearing a pair of swishy Chloé Wide-Leg Jeans (£1650) with towering platform heels, inspiring my summer jeans rotation in the process.

Creating a chic summer look, Charlize paired her ultra-wide-leg jeans with a black cropped top layered beneath a lightweight black jacket. Cut with a generous amount of fabric, her long, flowing jeans skimmed over the heels, creating one fluid, uninterrupted line that made her legs go on and on.

Beyond the flattering silhouette, the voluminous cut feels especially suited to this spell of warm weather. The extra movement through the leg allows air to circulate more freely, making these jeans a comfortable choice even on the hot summer days.

Whilst Charlize’s outfit brought this pairing to mind, it’s actually a jeans-and-heels combination I’ve admired on French women for summers now. Styled with simple tanks, tees or shirts, the flowing denim adds the right amount of drama that adds a little interest without dimming the classic French-girl effortless energy.

So, if you’re keen to keep jeans in regular rotation throughout the warmer months, I’d recommend investing in a great pair of wide-leg styles. Read on to shop my edit of the best pairs to buy now.
