I’ve fallen victim to the kitten-heel resurgence—picking up a style or two (or three)—and now my closet is officially overflowing with these barely there beauties. But as autumn approaches, I’m facing the small problem of how to style them past the season.
Dark-wash jeans are the French woman’s solution. Parisian style influencer Sylvie Mus has paired her straight-leg, dark-wash jeans with dainty heels for an elegant transitional look. Her outfit is as timeless as the cobblestone streets on which she poses.
I’ve found the perfect pair of jeans to re-create this look: Levi’s Ribcage Straight-Leg Style. Did I mention they’re on sale for $65? Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is the event of the season for denim lovers. Ending August 3, these deals are too good to pass up. Below, a breakdown of the chic Parisian look, plus an edit of the best dark-wash denim and kitten heels Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale has to offer.
