7 Things You Must Own If You Always Wear Skinny Jeans

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.

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.
