7 Shoe Styles That Go Perfectly with Barrel Jeans
Dec 9, 2024
There’s been a shift in denim trends from skinny to baggy in recent years, with barrel jeans being the latest style to gain popularity. The polarizing design is also referred to as balloon or horseshoe jeans because of its silhouette, which is fitted at the waist and curves at the leg before tapering in at the ankle. This creates a bow-legged appearance for a denim style that is playful yet sophisticated.
Barrel jeans are a statement garment that makes for a low-effort yet eye-catching look, but the unique design can make them hard to style. Stylist and personal shopper Ashley Jebran says that when it comes to accessorizing barrel jeans, “less is more.” While you can reach for shoes that add even more playfulness to your look, simple options will allow your barrel jeans to really stand out. Jebran suggests avoiding overly bulky shoes or footwear with elaborate designs as they can be too distracting. “Since barrel jeans are more streamlined, you want something more minimal that will compliment that,” she explains.
Whether you’ve just bought your first pair of barrel jeans or live by the style, see below for seven types of shoes that will complete your look.

Slingback Kitten Heels

Elevate a pair of barrel jeans by styling them with slingback kitten heels in any shade. “The delicate heel and sleek silhouette of a slingback kitten heel elongate the leg and create a sophisticated contrast with the wide-leg barrel jeans,” says Jebran. “The pointed toe further adds a touch of elegance which can easily dress up your denim look.” Though a simple pair with no embellishments will go with everything, consider slingback kitten heels with buckles or in a mesh fabric for a chic twist.
