In 2026, Cool Girls Will Wear This Heel Color Trend With the Jean Trend That Was Considered

By Swedan MargenDecember 27, 2025

Given Elsa Hosk’s trendsetting track record, it should come as no surprise that her Christmas Day outfit, which she posted to her Instagram feed, contained several of them. For starters, she wore a vintage Dior fur-trimmed blazer. With it, she wore the new denim color trend that’s coming for everyone’s medium-blue and dark-wash denim: light-wash jeans. They’re technically not new by any means, but I will say that they haven’t been as popular as they are this season in quite some time. All the It girls, such as Hosk and Sabrina Carpenter, are wearing light-wash jeans this winter. I, for one, am a fan because they add a cool vintage-y touch to any outfit they’re paired with.

The other trend Hosk wore is red heels, which are undoubtedly more of a classic than a trend at this point. The rich, vibrant hue is the perfect contrast to faded denim, and the shoes dress them up substantially. In conclusion, get ready to see lots of light-wash jeans with red heels in 2026, and keep scrolling to see the combination in action on Hosk, and to get a head start and shop chic versions of both complementary items.
