Behold the little black dress of the jean world. The never-goes-out-of-style cut that pairs just as well with oversized sweaters as fitted tops as raggedy T-shirts: the skinny jean.
This slim cut will hug your body from hips to thighs to knees to calves to ankles. It’s the most snug of all the jeans out there, which means it’s often made with material that has some stretch to it (think spandex or elastane).
And to address the elephant in the room, NO…skinny jeans are not dead, despite what TikTok may be telling you. ICYMI, there’s a debate going on between millennials and Gen Zers on the social platform with the younger generation mocking the 2000s-era style, skinny jeans included. In fact, since January, there have been 274,000 videos tagged “no skinny jeans” and 8.3 million millennial vs Gen Z videos. Because apparently, baggier bootcut and straight leg jeans are what’s “in” now.
Call us “old,” but we’re not tossing out our skinny jeans any time soon. In fact, we’re celebrating them by rounding up our favorites by category (think curvy, petite, high rise, distressed, etc, etc).
