I’m a fashion stylist and you CAN still wear skinny jeans – you just need to know how to style them properly
A STYLIST has weighed in on the best way to style skinny jeans in 2023 – even if everyone is saying they’re outdated.
British Vogue previously declared skinny jeans as out of fashion as celebrities and style icons swapped them for roomier trousers.
But the denim style still has a loyal fanbase unwilling to give up their figure hugging garms.
Stylist Christine Nicholson – who specialises in mid-size fashion – shared her tips on how to keep wearing your trusty skinnies without looking dated.
Taking to Tik Tok, she said: “I’m gonna teach you how to style your jeans for 2023.
“I get it, skinny jean girls are loyal – and I’ve got you.”
Christine started off by explaining what skinny jean styles are “outdated”.
These include wearing them with ankle boots, sporting super tight ones and having rips going up your legs.
The stylist emphasised that the “type of skinny jean” you opt for is the difference between being fashion forward and having a fashion faux pas.
She advised people to opt for a “true, classic skinny jean” rather than jeggings or super stretchy ones.
Christine said: “It’s all about how you style it with the top and the shoes.
“We’re going to use a looser top over and oversized.
“I know that word is super triggering, especially for millennials, but look how she styles this here.
“This looks so good.”
Christine nodded to a picture of a woman wearing skinny jeans with a baggy white shirt and heels.
She dubbed it “classic, modern and fresh”.
The stylist also recommended pairing your skinny jeans with a denim shirt or oversized cardigan to “balance out the skinniness”.
She continued: “An oversized blazer is great.
“I know people are scared of oversized blazers but keep the base fitted so that the blazer on top gives a modern feel.”
Rather than reaching for ankle boots with your skinny jeans, Christine told fashion fans to pair tight denim with mid-length boots that have “more volume”.
