I think it's safe to say that we no longer need to debate the relevance of skinny jeans in a fashion person's wardrobe. While they might not be the It pair of the moment, the style has transcended trendiness and is simply a staple everyone should (and likely does already) own.
That said, when styling your skinnies, at times you might feel like you're hitting a sartorial wall as far as how forward you can make your outfit feel—and it's only natural. You may be used to styling them with whatever was popular at the time you bought them or are simply accustomed to pairing them with your favourite basics. But today, I'm here to both tell and show you how you can make your favourite skinny jeans feel brand-new for winter by combining them with some of the season's biggest trends.
From outerwear to footwear, just keep scrolling to see the five ways to make your skinny jeans feel like the trendiest trousers on the block.
1. Knee-High Boots
Style Notes: After all, if you're going to invest in this unique feature, it might as well show rather than get hidden under baggier jeans.
Shop the trend:
If you're committed to only buying timeless pieces, these boots are for you.
I'll never tire of tan suede.
From H&M's premium range, these high-quality boots will stick around for seasons to come.
You can always rely on Ganni for killer cowboy boots.
These look so luxe, don't you think?
2. Oversized Jumper
Style Notes: Sure, there aren't much outfits an oversized knit won't work with in winter, but I particularly love these proportions.
Shop the trend:
If you haven't already got your hands on this all-over-Insta jumper, it's not too late.
That's it, I've found my dream jumper.
You'll really make an impact in this bold hue.
Is it just me, or are cable knits having a moment?
This would look great with just about every denim wash.
3. Long Coats
Style Notes: A flowy long coat is a perfect complement to sleek skinny jeans.
Shop the trend:
Wear and love this forever.
Just one of the many Zara coats our editors have been eyeing lately...

3. Retro Running Trainers
Style Notes: Swap your leggings for skinny jeans to give your go-to sneakers just a touch more polish.
Shop the trend:
Smarten these up or lean into the casual look with joggers and a sweatshirt.
The ultimate comfort shoe.
Kendall Jenner and Olivia Wilde love these sneakers.
SAYE's trainers feel so '70s.

These are so chic.
I love the pretty bow detail on this classic pair.
