You may be feeling some of the of-the-moment denim cuts trending hard right now (ahem, flares and balloon silhouettes). That said, you really can’t beat the classics, and yes, I believe the sometimes polarizing skinny jeans definitely fall into that category. Whether you wear skinnies on repeat or haven’t tested them out in a while and want fresh ways to style them, I wanted to spend the next few moments highlighting some of my favorite skinny-jean outfits that truly play to win in terms of chicness.
The beauty of the ensembles coming your way is that they’re all relatively simple to put together because they’re composed of easy staples that many of us may already have in our wardrobes, like puff-sleeve blouses and white T-shirts. Curious? Keep scrolling to check out six trend-forward skinny-jean looks that could be worth adding into your outfit rotation.
