When she’s not working with big names like Lupita Nyong’o, Jennifer Hudson, and Hilary Swank, celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger also divulges her fashion expertise in our Ask a Stylist column. From the best places to source vintage to the secret to finding your most flattering jeans, come back each week for a professional’s perspective.
As I’ve mentioned before, my absolute favorite skinny jeans are this pair from Madewell. I swear by the style thanks to the high rise and durable material. Not only are they my go-to when it comes to skinny jeans, but they also look incredible with simple or statement ballet flats. The length hits at the perfect place, lending an elongating look and perfect pairing for the days when you want to wear flats. It’s safe to say my love for Madewell’s skinny-jean selection is only growing stronger. Ready to update your denim collection with the best skinny jeans to wear with ballet flats?
