5 Outfits Celebs Rely On If They Wear Skinny Jeans or Straight-Leg Styles

While joggers and sweats are certainly key pieces in many of our wardrobes right now, jeans still continue to be go-to’s as well. On that note, celebrities have been opting for especially sleek denim cuts lately—especially those skinny jeans and straight-leg styles. Sure, skinnies can sometimes skew on the polarizing end, but the silhouette is more or less classic at this point, along with straight-leg jeans.
And here’s the thing. When A-listers do opt for one of these denim styles, they often pair them with a few general outfit formulas as well. The looks in question are especially chic, made up of basics and some trendier pieces as well. To showcase all of this in question, we rounded up how a few celebs like Katie Holmes and Rihanna are wearing jeans right now.
