Sarah Pidgeon Wore the Shoe Trend to Pair With Light Jeans

There are some hot denim trends this season, but we’re not sure if any can match the buzz of light wash jeans. Washes have historically been thought of as making an outfit look more casual, but this time it’s styled a little differently: with heels. 2026’s newest It Girl, Sarah Pidgeon, explains why this combination is so cool. specific This shoe trend will make your light-wash jeans look even more up-to-date. For example, metallic heels make the trend look fresher and more intentional than jeans in black, brown, or other neutral colors.

Metallic shoes have been in and out of trend status and are definitely going to be trending in 2026. Pigeon’s outfit included a red leather jacket, light-wash straight jeans, a Chanel Pre-Fall 2026 leopard-print oversized flap bag, and metallic gold cap-toe heels from the same collection. Considering how much buzz Chanel has had since its inception under Mathieu Blazy’s creative direction, it’s safe to say that his designs will continue to be on-trend, including metallic heels.
