Denim is like your longest BFF—always there for you, no matter what. So it’s no surprise that the biggest denim trends of 2026 are taking off, giving stovepipe, cigarette, and bootcut styles the spotlight they deserve. But snagging this season’s hottest jeans and knowing how to style them are two very different things. IMO, the best place to start is with footwear.
Choosing the right shoe is key, capable of throwing off your entire look or serving as an outfit-making dream. With denim, the stakes are even higher, since the wrong footwear can disrupt proportions (think chunky sneakers with cigarette jeans—it just doesn’t work). However, if done correctly, shoes anchor the look and flatter the silhouette.
Zara gets it, offering a surplus of slim, chunky, and sleek designs that complement this year’s favorite bottoms. To keep things simple, I’m breaking it all down by category, spilling the denim outfit shoe ideas that have stolen my attention.
