These Chic Outfits Prove Skinny Jeans Aren't Dead in 2020

While I’d personally consider skinny jeans to be a classic wardrobe staple, the denim style continues to be polarising, with many opting for more forward cuts like flares. And while it’s true that fashion people gravitate toward non-skinnies, they continue to crop up regardless of what those in fashion love. That’s right: After scrolling through Instagram, I noticed a range of It girls wearing their skinny jeans proudly. But rather than styling them in a standard way, they opted to mix in 2020 trends for directional fits. To show you what I mean, I’ve curated an edit of the coolest outfits in question for you below. Keep scrolling for a bit of visual and shopping inspiration to help you breathe new life into your trusty skinnies this year.

Style tip: Embrace the 2020 fashion-girl uniform with a slouchy blazer, crew-neck sweater, skinnies and knee-high boots.

Style tip: Denim on denim is always a good idea. Add a classic white T-shirt and square-toe ankle boots, and you’re set.

Style tip: Stand out by pairing black skinny jeans with of-the-moment flat boots and an oversized shearling coat. A fun beret will bring a playful bonus to the vibe.

Style tip: Keep it laid-back yet posh with faded black jeans, an oversized button-down tied in the front and patterned slingbacks.

Style tip: A dress over jeans feels incredibly high-concept but is quite simple to put together.

Style tip: Bring a cool edge to light-wash skinny jeans with a moto jacket and contrasting white ankle boots.

Style tip: Into white skinny jeans? Make them pop with a cropped black cardigan and cream ankle boots. 

Style tip: Further proof that the blazer and skinny jean formula just works. 

Style tip: Skinnies, a turtleneck and tan booties totally works on its own, but the addition of a checked duster coat makes the entire outfit feel even more special.

Style tip: If you live somewhere a bit warmer, consider teaming your skinnies with a vibrant red top and sandals for an easy yet impactful silhouette.
