I snapped up these (Miu Miu-spirited) sparkly slides the other day to spark up my everyday jeans routine--and crank up my future spring game.

While animal prints, bold hues, and florals dominated New York's Fall 2018 runways, a new must-have pair of jeans ruled the streets. Their distinct (90's-inspired) trademarks include a straight-leg fit, shoe-grazing length, and faded wash. I especially like these versions from , , , , and .
