What to wear with straight leg denim

[Anonymous]

I have medium blue and dark blue straight leg jeans. They fit really well.

But what to wear on my feet? My Doc boots my normal go-to, but feel clunky and frumpy and at 54 I’d like to perk things up a bit for day-to-day running around.

Normally in a cashmere sweater. Grey or black, so I’m a bit boring already! And a black peacoat.

Size 10-10.5 feet that are a bit wide.

Ideas?

Black chunk heel slingbacks, or loafer mules would be cute.

I’d say loafers - if you want more modern, loafer with lug sole.

Imo, it is really hard to get the length of straight legged jeans correct and any slight variation veers to frumpy. I think it’s easier to team full length bootcut/flares and ankle crops with shoes than full length straight.
