The 2018 Way to Wear Skinny Jeans (and Still Look Stylish)

Yesterday may have marked the beginning of a brand-new year, yet there are still certain items we won't be ditching in the name of New Year's resolutions. Including our trusted skinny jeans. Though the denim has been around for years, we're betting that the slim-fitting style won't be going anywhere soon. You might start to wonder, Can I wear the staple denim and still accomplish a look that feels forward? Our answer: Yes, it is possible.

We love a good balance (masculine/feminine, high/low), so our favorite way to wear skinny jeans this year involves balancing out their body-hugging silhouette with more voluminous shapes. Our favorite pairing is skinny jeans with a boxy, slightly oversize blazer. A dress over pants look improves with the addition of a structured blazer, while thin turtlenecks are begging to be layered under a buttoned-up jacket.

Go on to see how fashion girls will be wearing their skinny jeans this year, and keep reading to shop the denim yourself.

Marry a longer blazer with high boots, letting your skinny jeans peek out between the two.

A structured blazer makes a dress over jeans combo feel a bit more wearable and little less out-there.

Button-up and classic—the checked blazer is instantly elevated with the addition of a turtleneck layered underneath.

Cinch your boxy blazer with an of-the-moment belt bag. Or just wear your crossbody bag like this.

Opt for darker neutrals like gray and black for a simple approach to a polished ensemble.

Just add a newsboy cap (puppy optional).

Try a blazer that has some texture to it for a ladylike vintage-inspired feel.
