Much like white shirts, grey blazers, and black roll necks, skinny jeans have become a wardrobe staple. While other denim styles might take your fancy depending on the trend at the time, you'll always go back to your trusty skinnies—and particularly the suck-it-all-in, high-waisted ones. Why? Well, much like a decent pair of black leggings, they tend to flatter all body types and they work with pretty much everything you own alreadt. However, as with all jeans, it can be hard to find the best-fitting pair for you. Happily, there are a few brands that we've tried and tested over and over, which we know you'll love. And if you're worried we're just going to opt for designer labels and crazy price tags, fear not. We've also sourced a couple of great high street versions to suit leaner budgets.
