Roadtest: We’re Obsessed With These Jet Black Skinny Jeans

Fashion is all about proportions. Just like we’ve seen boots get taller and taller, the latest skinny jeans are slimming down to record lows. We wanted to let you in on one of our go-to skinny jeans–they go with everything, and kind of resemble a jeans legging (a jegging, if you will)–but we’re warning you: they’re not for the faint of heart.

J.Crew’s toothpick jeans are stick-straight, jet black and ultra cropped (perfect for tucking into jeans into boots during the winter without bulk and, consequently, the perfect length for flats when spring rolls around again). The best part is that they’re now $100 (down from $129).

Try ‘em and tell us what you think. If skinny’s not your style, you might like try CJ by Cookie Johnson jeans (bonus: they’re Oprah’s favorite). We know how hard it is to find the best pair, so take your time: browse through our gallery of  ultimate denim guides–or search for best jeans for your shape.
