If there's one thing we've learned from '90s icons like Julia Roberts and Kate Moss, it's that straight jeans are the best choice for solving the morning "what to wear" question in the best way possible. It doesn't matter if you're heading to the airport or planning a stroll in the city, they suit every type of occasion and, of course, shoe choice. They look sophisticated with both your favorite sneakers and your booties—two different styles that prove these pants' versatility. However, they also pair nicely with more trending shapes, like Mary Jane flats, ballerinas, and loafers—all runway-approved, too. Need more inspiration on how to style them together? These outfit ideas might be what you've been looking for. Here's how to wear '90s straight-leg jeans with flats in 2025.

Just as it happened in the '90s, straight jeans are once again crowned a street styler favorite and are play well with spring/summer 2025's top shoe trends . Starting with the Mary Jane in white, the schoolgirl aesthetic continues to captivate the most stylish women and these look more sophisticated than you think. The key is to invest in a neutral pair to evoke a sense of maturity, as we see in the photograph. Luxury brands like Alaïa and Toteme, or affordable brands like Massimo Dutti and Zara, have a variety of elegant silhouettes that are season-less style heroes. Take cues from the look above and match your shoes to your jacket for effortless elegance when paired with blue jeans.

Dua Lipa is not the only one who has made the " sneakerina " desirable—the street style set is fond of the shoe shape, too. These give an ultramodern twist to '90s-inspired denim, from classic medium washes to faded pairs that the new generations love so much. Go for a metallic Adidas pair and complete the look with a plain or graphic print T-shirt—the idea is to project a relaxed style with a hint of grunge.
