The Top 5 Skinny Jeans Brands Royals Return to Again and Again

Royals and skinny jeans are two things that you don't necessarily associate with each other, that is, until now. The last year or so, women like Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have proved that there is ample opportunity to make any pair of skinnies more polished. Employing staple pieces like blazers, button-down shirts, and pumps, these royals have created a sort of uniform that illustrates the power of a flattering pair of denim.
Why does this matter? Well, for starters, if you follow royal fashion, then this slightly untraditional approach is likely enticing to you. Also, we could all replenish our arsenal of skinny jeans outfits ideas and who better to turn to than women who are constantly attending events, traveling, meeting new people, and so forth? Think of this as your go-to guide for making your skinny jeans slightly more sophisticated. Below, we rounded up five brands that the royals turn to again and again for jeans, plus picks from each of those denim labels so you can grab a pair for your own closet.
