Mark My Words: Stove Pipe Jeans Will Be Everywhere in 2026—This is the Shoe Trend They Look Best With
Not trainers, not ballet flats—this is the shoe trend that makes stove pipe jeans look chicest.
If you’re as denim-obsessed as I am, you’ll understand my ongoing mission to pinpoint the jeans trends that matter the most each season. And this time around, all signs point to a sleek new silhouette nudging relaxed and baggy styles aside. Taking cues from the razor-sharp straight-leg jeans that dominated the ’90s, fashion people everywhere are reaching for high-rise, straight-leg stove pipe jeans right now.
As I begin to welcome this cut into my own rotation, the first sticking point is footwear. Finding the shoe that really makes a new jeans silhouette sing is often the trickiest part, but this week my search came to an abrupt end when I spotted Ana de Armas wearing her stove pipe jeans with square-toe boots.
Styled underneath her slim-fitting jeans, the boots extended just beyond the hem, elongating the leg and enhancing the overall sleekness of the look. Unlike pointed or almond-toe styles, the square-toe finish adds a graphic sharpness that brings edge.
Easy but directional, this simple two-piece pairing feels like the chicest way to wear denim and boots right now. Recreate Ana’s look with a classic black top for an understated finish, or layer with a cosy knit to carry you through the coldest season.
Scroll on to discover and shop the chicest stove pipe jeans and square-toe boots to invest in now.
