"For skinny jeans, I always look for a flattering high rise and a tapered ankle. This pair from Khaite is the perfect cut.”
Available in sizes 24 to 31.
“When I say I wear these black Everlane skinny jeans at least four days a week, I’m not exaggerating. The fit is perfect for my petite frame, the high rise flatters my waist, and I didn’t have to get them hemmed.”Available in sizes 23 to 33.
“I’ve owned these rockets for years now, and they are still by far my favorite skinny jeans. The high rise and pocket placement make your figure look incredible.”Available in sizes 23 to 32.
“Let’s just say the name of this jean, the Slim Illusion, is quite accurate. I put them on when I need to feel instantly confident. The fact that they have a short inseam is also perfect for letting my 5’4” frame skip the tailor for once!”Available in sizes 24 to 32.
“The sateen fabric is super soft and gives these classic black skinny jeans a luxe update. I may never go back to basic cotton again.”Available in sizes 22 to 32.
“Whenever I’m wearing an oversize sweater, these are the jeans I reach for. They’re really slimming but still miraculously comfortable.”Available in sizes 24 to 32.
“I love these Mother skinny jeans because they work with ankle boots since they’re cropped but also slip perfectly under over-the-knee boots, so I can pretty much wear them every day in fall and winter.”Available in sizes 23 to 32.
“Madewell doesn’t get enough attention for its high-quality, affordable denim (or maybe it does, and I’m unaware). Either way, these have quickly become the only skinny jeans I’ll wear. I cut off a few inches from this pair to give it a frayed edge and cut one slit in each knee, making them my go-to jeans to wear with sneakers and a graphic tee on the weekend.”Available in sizes 23 to 32.
