So you live in skinny jeans. Hey, live your life—the style is more or less a classic at this point (depite what some may say). While you may have a go-to way of wearing skinnies, there are specific pieces worth owning to ensure your skinny jean outfits are always forward and exciting. Sure, you can never go wrong with the whole T-shirt and jeans, but that same old denim look can start to feel a bit tired after a while. Right? That’s why it’s important to have those always-cool staples (ahem, oversize outerwear) and unique accessories (looking at you, knee-high boots) to bring your skinnies to the next level. Keep scrolling to uncover the seven things to add to your closet if you swear by your tried-and-true skinnies.
1. Plaid Blazer
Tossing on a checked blazer adds just the right amount of polish to skinny jeans.
2. Black Booties
Black ankle boots are a must for life—and especially for a no-fail skinnies look.
3. Oversize Outerwear
Play with proportions by incorporating an oversize coat into your look.
4. Knee-High Boots
Skinny jeans work flawlessly with knee-high boots because they easily tuck inside for a streamlined effect.
5. Architectural Tops
When it comes to blouses, try an architectural style with some volume to balance out the slim jeans.
Clean Sneakers
If you're running around and don't want to go the boot route, slip into clean white sneakers for a chill yet sophisticated vibe.
7. Lightweight Turtlenecks
Fashion girls are all about tucking a slim turtleneck into skinny jeans for a sleek silhouette.
