This Expensive-Looking Trend Looks So Chic With Skinny Jeans
What to wear with skinny jeans is probably something you've pondered before (you are here after all). Skinny jeans themselves are obviously quite boring, but what you wear with them can make them significantly less so. Irina Shayk knows this well, as was evidenced by a recent skinny-jean outfit she wore while out shopping in NYC.
Shayk's outfit was pretty simple: skinny jeans, knee boots, and a button-down top. The top is significant in that it's faux leather, which is a major trend that we've been talking about a lot this season. I wrote an entire story about how expensive faux leather looks, even when it's an affordable style from H&M or Zara. And as you can see via Irina Shayk, it's the perfect trend to jazz skinny jeans up with.
