Chunky Sneakers

Jeans and sneakers are a classic pairing thats perfect for a more casual fit.

If youre wearing a cropped version, though, she says to choose a sleeker sneaker.

Plus, youll have a little style moment where your heel and toes peep out.

Meanwhile, the chunkiness of the block heel keeps the balance against the bottom-heavy style of the pants.

Metallic Pointed Heels

For a bit of pizzazz, slip into a pair of metallic pointed heels.

Theyll peep out from underneath the flare, doubling as an accessory and key hero of your fit.

The heel also keeps your pants from dragging and creates that long-leg look.

This still creates a casual fit without feeling as dressed down as you might with your average sneaker.

Heeled Mules

Want to dress up your flare jeans?

Try a heeled mule.

The heel adds enough height while still being comfortable for all day wear, Cooper says.

Blocky Ballerinas

Keep it chic with a pair of classic mary janes.
