In Defense Of Skinny Jeans

We’re all well-aware of the war against skinny jeans that Generation Z has waged. And it makes sense; after a solid decade of skinny jeans being the go-to pant for every Millennial, the younger generation was in the mood for something a little different, something they hadn’t grown up seeing everywhere.
Don’t get us wrong — we love mom jeans, straight-cut, and wide-leg jeans. They’re so comfortable and serve to widen our wardrobe’s capabilities. But even so, as much as Gen Z desperately wants to say otherwise, the tried and true skinny jeans will never go out of style for good.
The skinny jean’s ability to complement and accentuate a feminine silhouette is unmatched, and they’re far more versatile than any other denim style — whether you’re looking to dress up, dress down, or simply put together a timeless look. In fact, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite skinny jeans around, all of them adding something unique and lovely to your wardrobe.
The classic black skinny.
If you only ever own one pair of skinny jeans, make it a pair of black skinny jeans — a truly timeless wardrobe staple which won’t only go with every single outfit you can put together, and easily be dressed up or down, but emphasize the natural beauty of your silhouette.
The casual dark wash skinny.
A pair of dark blue skinny jeans are classics for a few solid reasons: they’re simple, flattering, and only ever add to an ensemble, all while maintaining a clean, casual feel.
The breezy light wash skinny.
Light-wash skinny jeans add an undeniably airy, summery feel to any outfit. They’re perfect for pairing with cute sneakers or flats and a simple tee for an ‘I just threw this together and look effortlessly pretty’ look.
The cropped skinny.
Sometimes a clean, cropped pair of skinny jeans is just what an outfit desperately needs to add a new twist — and with the warmer months swiftly approaching us, the crop will help keep you cool and collected.
The ripped skinny.
Wearing ripped skinny jeans is one of the easiest ways to add a healthy dose of fun and excitement to what might have been an outfit that teetered on the side of being too simple or safe.
The crisp white skinny.
Sure, white skinny jeans aren’t as popular as black or blue jeans, but that doesn’t mean you’ll never have any use for them — their unique hue will help you stand out while offering your wardrobe something fresh and different from your everyday look.
