Let’s just get it out there: In no way should your age totally influence your style. If you really love a specific trend (whether you’re 30 or 70), then by all means, go for it! But like with anything, there are certain items that prove to be more popular with the younger set. One item 20-somethings like Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner can’t seem to get enough of? Skinny jeans. (And FYI, they’re not “out”—just classics at this point.) That said, there are interesting ways celebrities of all ages seem to be wearing their skinnies to give the staple a sophisticated, polished twist. Thanks to stars like Miranda Kerr, Zoe Saldana, and Diane Kruger, your skinny-jean outfits are about to receive a major upgrade.
Go on to view the inspiring ways women of every age are styling their skinny jeans and shop our favorite pairs anyone would love.
