If you ask me, high-waist jeans were never out of style, but for many, when the Y2K craze took hold a few years ago, low-rise denim came back with full force, leaving no room for its more timeless, sophisticated counterpart. Jeans that had buttons at the waist instead of the hips were removed \u2013 donated, or if their owners thought ahead, put away for a later date \u2013 and replaced with trendy styles. Luckily for anyone like me who’s been loyal to denim style, the return of high-rises is coming faster than I predicted, and this spring and summer, all signs are pointing towards a full comeback, which means it’s time to start planning.<\/p>\n

When a denim shape arrives or re-enters the scene the most important thing is to think about the shoes that look best with it. You can really wear any top with jeans, but shoes are more difficult to get right, with heel height, toe shape, color, and material all playing a role. If you wear wrong footwear with jeans then the whole outfit falls apart. To keep the process of reincorporating high-waisted jeans into your wardrobe as seamless and painless as possible, I did some digging through Instagram and found the best pairs of shoes with the denim silhouette to come. Scroll down to enjoy the fruits of my labor, and by that I mean, shop the best shoes to wear with high-waist jeans in 2026.<\/p>\n
