I swore I’d never wear skinny jeans again once I graduated high school. Still, over a decade later, Martha Stewart and Kate Middleton have convinced me that they’re a necessary silhouette in every denim collection.
Skinny jeans have a unique ability to refine any outfit. Not to mention, they help legs look miles long. So I’m adding quite a few styles to my wardrobe. You’re about to see everyone wear skinny jeans — join them with these sleek picks from Walmart, Amazon, Nordstrom, Quince and more.
Flattering, On-Trend Skinny Jeans
1. Extra Flattering: This affordable pair of high-waisted skinny jeans has ample stretch to keep you comfortable and hug you in all the right places.
2. Go Low: Don’t be afraid of low-rise cuts. This stretchy medium-wash pair sits right below your belly button and helps anyone with a short torso look longer and leaner.
3. Fashionable at Every Age: Martha Stewart likes her skinny jeans in white and with a bit of room at the ankle. Copy her look with this rolled-hem design.
4. Colored Denim: Blue jeans have their time and place, but Kate Middleton proved everyone needs brown denim skinny jeans. We found a similar tummy-control pair at Walmart for $10.
5. A Custom Fit: Quince’s iconic Bella Skinny jeans often sell out because of the customizable elements — like the seven washes, two length options and wide size range.
Meghan Markle and Nicole Kidman Wore the Denim Style You Need for Fall
6. Extra Comfort: Abercrombie’s fan-favorite Modern Skinny Jeans bring the style into the 21st century with a tad more extra room at the ankles for a sleek look.
7. Some Flair: The distressed pockets on these skinny jeans add a personality pop that makes them even better for nights spent out on the town.
8. Go Black: Deep black skinny jeans can pass off for sleek slacks in some cases. At least, when they’re the Levi’s 721 Stretch Skinny Jeans.
9. So Rich: You’ll start to choose jeans over leggings any day when you slip into this buttery soft stretchy pair. Seriously, they’re so comfortable.
10. Light Wash: People often forget to get some light-wash jeans, but no denim collection is complete without at least one pair. These ankle skinny jeans are our top pick.
11. So ‘70s: If we didn’t know better, we’d think these figure-skimming jeans were plucked right out of a vintage store — they look perfectly lived in!
