paige ankle skinny jeansBest Skinny Jeans

When the Zack Morris-esque taper made its big comeback with the skinny jean a few years ago, some of us were wary of this new style that seemed to exclude women who weren’t stick-thin or six feet tall from participating in trendy denim.  As time has passed, we’ve learned to embrace skinny jeans as pants that can flatter a variety of body types – and good thing, since colored skinny jeans have forged ahead of the pack to be the best creative pants option out there. The best skinny jeans are an ideal form of denim, because they don’t get in the way; a tapered ankle fits so neatly into your favorite knee high leather boots (even before they’re broken in) and will show off the platforms you’ve been saving all year just to slip your feet into. Designers are spearheading this mass skinny jeans movement with a plethora of styles and shades (and there are even some great cheap skinny jeans out there) so dive in – we’ve compiled the best of the best skinny denim.

For more top picks, check out our guides to celebrity denim, discount jeans, and denim for your shape.

Classic Skinny Jeans

There’s a reason why blue jeans have been immortalized in karaoke tunes and country songs since the beginning of time: they are effortlessly sexy and always in style. Try a pair of skinny jeans and channel your inner girl next door (we know it’s in there somewhere).

Gap always skinny jeansBargain Buy community denim skinny jeans paige ankle skinny jeans
Gap Always Skinny Jeans – Medium Wash
$59.50

If you haven’t noticed, lately Gap has been doing a great job of incorporating high-fashion into their relatively low priced clothing. Like all Gap denim, this snug pair comes in regular, tall and petite versions to elongate the legs and boost the buttocks of ladies of all heights.

Community Denim Skinny Jeans With Zip
$159

Always comfortable and pretty well-priced (in the scheme of things that is) for quality designer denim, Community Denim offers an edgy update on a more traditional design.

Paige Skyline Ankle Skinny Jeans
$190

Many of us learned as young girls about the negative effects of wearing light blue denim and have steered our thighs clear of it ever since. This pair of Paige skinny jeans will certainly change your mind – not only are they slimming, but they’ll feel like you’ve had them for years the first time you put them on.

Black Skinny Jeans

For fall and winter, there’s no doubt that black denim is the way to go. These modern styles are everything you want in a jean: sleek, form fitting, and they’ll make you look like you have longer legs than you do.

Silence & Noise Ripped Twig Jean
$68

Give those gams some breathing room with this slightly ripped pair from Silence & Noise; you can even make them an excuse to splurge on that leather jacket you’ve been eyeing.

J. Brand Pencil Leg Stretch Twill Skinny Jean
$158

If you love the leggings look, but hate leggings on principle, this J. Brand black jean may be the one for you. They are super-tight but luckily they cling in all the right places.

7 For All Mankind Gwenevere Ankle-Length Jeans
$185

These relaxed stretch jeans go with everything and anything, but will look especially stylish with a pair of dainty flats; not to mention that in slimming black, they’ll surely make you not only look, but feel, thin.

Distressed Skinny Jeans

This fall is all about jeans that look like they’ve been lying in the gutter for a couple of days. Remember, in this distressed denim frenzy it’s important that you look like Katie Holmes, not Kurt Cobain.

BDG Destroyed Skinny Jean
$58

This rebellious BDG pair is a prime example of the skinny style; we love the relaxed light washed denim and the delicate tears.

Genetic Denim Shane Recessive Cigarette Jean
$198

This Genetic jean is a little less distressed than the rest, so it’s ideal if you’re leaning toward the “my jeans are really old” thing and shying away from the “I just had a run in with a rabid dog” look.

Current/Elliot The Skinny Jeans
$224

Grunge is chic again with this thrashed pair of skinny jeans from Current/Elliot. They look like they’ve already been loved to pieces (since arriving in your closet in the early 90s) and are the perfect addition to a fall wardrobe full of oversized sweaters and plaid tops.
