10 Trends to Wear With Your Favorite Black Skinny Jeans

In case you haven't noticed, the bulk of our denim-related content falls into two categories: denim trends and skinny jeans. Since skinny jeans are more of a classic than a trend, to keep things interesting, we also frequently discuss the trends to wear with them. And this time, we're focusing on perhaps our all-time favorite skinny-jean style: sleek black ones.

Black skinny jeans are perhaps the most versatile denim style on the market, and that's for a number of reasons. Most importantly, they're the easiest style there is to dress up or down, and they look good on everyone. So now that we've established that everyone loves black skinny jeans, let's talk about what to wear with them.

It's hardly a surprise that winter is chock-full of trends that look great with black skinny jeans (we've already established that they're wildly versatile), but there are 10 in particular that are literally magic when paired with them. Not only will they make your favorite skinny jeans look fresher, they'll make life easier this season.
