Gone are the days of boot cuts so wide your beautiful shoes drown under a sea of denim. Introducing the most in-demand denim trend since the low-rise (a trend which is on the way out as well, thankfully): the skinny jean.
Hipsters like Kate Moss and Sienna Miller were first caught sporting the slim jeans a while back, and every denim line since has finally taken a cue from fashionistas and introduced a version of their own. Tag Jeans 5 Pocket Bootcut Jean in Amy is slightly faded with yellow and orange contrast stitching, signature tag detail on the back pockets and a full-length skinny leg that is sleeker than sleek. Their cropped version, The Easy Rider, is great for spring and also good for showing off your pretty shoes. All those prayers for the perfect-fitting jeans have finally been answered so you can finally thank God.
Our True Religion comes in the form of the Johnny Stretch Black Jean. The notorious denim line that ignited a mini-hysteria when they first came on the scene has kept us faithfully addicted to their jeans with monochromatic horseshoe stitching and oversized hardware, and here they have done it again with a skinny jean so perfect it will lift your soul (and derrière). Or, go for the Stella Black Big T Jean for an even skinnier opening at the ankle, and just as much attention to detail. Perhaps what is so remarkable about this style is its simplicity.
Deener’s Charmer Skinny in Helium is a smart take on this trend. Understated details, like molded buttons, 50s inspired pockets, and a secret stash pocket in the back yoke make this pair extra special, while resin-rinsed Italian denim creates a pristine look. This is a good pair for those who love the skinny jean look, but don’t want to have that “denim leggings” thing going on—the slim, straight leg comes to a 14’ opening, which is a little less severe than some of the other designers’ versions.J Brand has a similar spin on the trend—their Slim Fit 16” Straight Leg in Black stay in line with the skinny equally well without strangling your ankles.
Kasil Jeans’ Sylvia Jean in Atlantic is features a classic fit, five pockets and original details like brown V designs on the back pockets, gold grommets on the front pockets, and extra large belt buckles. And, the back half of the bottom cuff comes up in a U shape to make it 2” shorter—never again step on the end of your pants. The Miami Short Skinnies in White Sand from Pierce Jeans have a skinny, cropped leg in a super-cool light grey wash. With these, you’ll get more than an amazing body-hugging fit in premium denim. Thanks to this line, looking stylish has become a good deed, since Pierce donates a portion of proceeds to children in need across the world.
So hang up your boot-cuts and save the flares for road accidents. A slim, modern leg is all you need for the perfect outfit, which means a t-shirt and heels are practically accessories.
