Remember when the general consensus during the height of the COVID-19 lockdowns was that heels were “over”? It even felt like jeans were over at the time, as we all prioritized comfort over all else. Well, the opposite proved true, and jeans were relatively quick to make a comeback.

Take a look at celebrities as an example. Sure, it’s still quite common to see them wearing loafers or sneakers with jeans, but the shoe style I’ve noticed they often wear with jeans, both then and now, is pumps. 

No matter what the denim style you’re wearing is, pumps will look right with them. I find them to look especially cool with baggy, flare, and straight-leg jeans, three of the most popular trends right now. 

Below, you’ll see that everyone from Meghan Markle to Amal Clooney to Selena Gomez is embracing jeans and pumps again. Scroll for styling inspiration and to shop some of the best pumps to wear with your jeans.
