Sorry to the skinny-jeans haters, but the slim denim style is back in a big way for 2025. I can’t say I am surprised since they seem to have a pretty regular resurgence. Am I personally ready to jump back in? Not completely, yet I am open-minded to taking some of my own pairs out of storage to see how I feel. To prepare for this moment, I took to my Insta feed to find the latest and greatest inspiration on how to wear a pair that feels more of-the-moment and less of a throwback.
In my search, which wasn’t too much of a task among the fashion set, I came across some elevated takes on the skinny denim trend that are worthy of re-creating this year. The key to pulling this off in style? Pair the jeans with classic basics like effortless outerwear, timeless T-shirts, and simple yet cool shoes.
