7 Sweater-and–Skinny Jeans Combinations I Fully Plan on Copying
Let me guess. You live in your skinny jeans year round and have come to think of them as the base to any and all of your casual outfits. Despite the fact that the denim trends of the moment are leaning in the exact opposite direction of skinny jeans (some are calling them "anti–skinny jeans"), we know that there's still a place in your wardrobe for the classic denim style. I mean, let's face it: They won't be going anywhere soon. Now that we have that settled, let's talk fall/winter outfits.
The one combo you're bound to wear endless times from now till April involves a sweater and skinny jeans. So, I took it upon myself to pull the coolest versions of the outfit on all of Instagram to serve as my inspiration for the coming months. You see, it's a relatively simple combo, but I often find myself searching for ways to add style to it. Which shoes should I wear? Which color sweater looks best with the jeans? If you ever find yourself wondering the same things, the below outfits should serve as your ultimate winter wardrobe inspiration.

Tuck skinny jeans into knee-high boots for a very of-the-moment styling idea. For some added polish (and let's be real, warmth) top it off with a long camel coat.

What are all the cool girls on Instagram wearing with their jeans these days? Cardigans. The classic sweater has made a triumphant return, and I particularly like the way it can be styled tucked into high-waisted skinny jeans the way María Bernad did here.
