TREND ALERT: Skinny Jeans Are Back!
Alix Earle said it first, but you’re reading it here second—skinny jeans are making a comeback. Next to the baggy, low-rise jeans you’ve been collecting over the past five years, make some space for your new trendiest pair of pants: the controversial skinny jeans.
First, Alix Earle styled them in a GRWM, then Danielle Pheloung followed, and soon, every other trending influencer will be next. If you’re bold enough to give this once-hated style another shot, here’s how to do it right. We’re channeling boho chic, Isabel Marant—not 2016’s rolled-up skinnies and Adidas Superstars.

Rule #1: Ditch the Sneakers
Trust me—literally anything else will look better. Right now, the go-to pairing is a chunky biker boot, cowboy boots, or any tall boot you can find. And for summer? Don’t be afraid to throw on a pair of ballet flats.

Rule #2: Balance the Silhouette
A little volume up top is key to making skinny jeans feel fresh again. Whether it’s a flowy blouse, a chunky sweater, or an oversized button-down layered under a knit, adding some structure on top keeps the look effortlessly cool. Outerwear is your best friend—think oversized leather bombers, long trench coats, or a Gina Tricot dupe.

Rule #3: Own It
Chin up, shoulders back—confidence is everything. It might feel intimidating to be ahead of the trend, but there’s no reason to be scared of skinny jeans. So go ahead, dig up your 2016 relics, style them the right way, and strut like you invented them.
Can’t wait to see everyone rocking their skinnies on campus!
