4 Everyday Items That Work Best With Skinny Jeans and Leggings
There's a strong chance you have a few standard pieces you turn to when opting for a skinny-jean or legging ensemble (perhaps that's a specific sweater or a T-shirt silhouette). Well, if you're looking for fresh outfit ideas, there are a smattering of key everyday items that team flawlessly with both skinny jeans and leggings. Although remember, in reality, your outfit combinations are totally based on personal preference, so any pairing you like works.
To give you a sense of those pieces (think simple items that are also trend-forward), we scrolled through past IG imagery from some of our favorite fashion people to showcase those versatile go-to's that look A+ with both skinnies and leggings. Keep scrolling for some visual inspiration and shopping recommendations to consider now and execute down the road.
1. Slouchy Blazer
A slouchy blazer brings a modern twist to leggings and a graphic tee.
While a white T-shirt and black skinny jeans is A+ on its own, the addition of the blazer adds a more "styled" element to the vibe.
2. Cardigan Set
Coording cardigan sets are trending hard right now and team flawlessly with anything—black leggings included.
Shop the coordinating Openwork Knit Cardigan ($60).
Such a current fit featuring the sweater set, skinny jeans, and knee-high boots.
Shop the coordinating Wide-Rib Mock Neck Pullover ($68).
3. Knotted Top
Keep it casual yet cool with a knotted tee and high-waisted black leggings.
A knotted white blouse is easy and forward with those standby black skinnies.
4. Leather Jacket
It's no secret that a leather jacket adds a "downtown" twist to any ensemble—including this one with the turtleneck and split-hem leggings.
Bring texture to an all-black skinny-jean look with a leather jacket.
