While straight-leg and loose-fit jeans are having a major moment, our skinny jeans still (and forever will) remain a staple in our closet. Next to white tees and neutral sweaters, they're one of the hardest-working items in our wardrobe and look great with practically every item. But how should we wear our staple skinny jeans right now to make them feel current and new (not to mention keep up with all the stiff denim competition)? We recently shared how celebrities are updating their skinnies, but today we're turning to the street style set for innovative skinny-jean outfit inspiration. From combat boots and belt bags to sheer tights and anklets, scroll for pieces that will unquestionably make your skinnies feel fresh with a capital F this season!
Chunky Sneakers
Of-the-moment dad sneakers are some of the coolest (and most comfortable) shoes to wear with skinny jeans this season.
Chain Belt
Nothing spruces up your skinnies quite like a metallic embellished chain belt. It's the perfect accessory to take your outfit from day to night.
Anklets
Layer on anklets of different colors, shapes and textures with cropped skinny jeans for a contemporary cool-girl look.
Fitted Cardigan
Fitted cropped cardigans are having a major moment and look undisputably charming when paired with skinnies.
Socks & Sandals
Don't want to wear boots with your denim? Then opt for super-stylish socks and heeled sandals instead. The coolest look for an evening out.
Hiking Boots
Hiking boots are blowing up this season, and it's easy to see why—they're ultra-comfortable and unquestionably cool.
Denim on Denim
Fashion girls are all over the double-denim trend. Go for an oversize denim jacket to balance out the skinny silhouette.
Belt Bag
Belt bags are a trend that's sticking around this year, and we couldn't be happier. Belt it around your high-waisted jeans to add a layered element to your look.
Crystal-Embellished Shoes
A little sparkle is the chicest way to jazz up those jeans. For a daytime look wear your jeans with a plain tee and straw bag.
Sheer Tights
Add an unexpected element to your outfit and layer sheer tights underneath your jeans. It'll keep you warm in winter, and the overall look is also super chic.
Faux-Fur Coat
A faux-fur coat adds a luxurious look to any skinny jean outfit. And yes, permission to mix black and brown granted!
