Mark My Words: Stove Pipe Jeans Will Be Everywhere in 2026—This is the Shoe Trend They Look Best With

If you’re as denim-obsessed as I am, you’ll understand my ongoing mission to pinpoint the jeans trends that matter the most each season. And this time around, all signs point to a sleek new silhouette nudging relaxed and baggy styles aside. Taking cues from the razor-sharp straight-leg jeans that dominated the ’90s, fashion people everywhere are reaching for high-rise, straight-leg stove pipe jeans right now.

As I begin to welcome this cut into my own rotation, the first sticking point is footwear. Finding the shoe that really makes a new jeans silhouette sing is often the trickiest part, but this week my search came to an abrupt end when I spotted Ana de Armas wearing her stove pipe jeans with square-toe boots.

Styled underneath her slim-fitting jeans, the boots extended just beyond the hem, elongating the leg and enhancing the overall sleekness of the look. Unlike pointed or almond-toe styles, the square-toe finish adds a graphic sharpness that brings edge.
