Skinny Jeans are a Thing of the Past! Or are they?

Yes you read that right! It pains me to write this but, skinny jeans have apparently been deemed dead. They have been a constant in my wardrobe, and in the wardrobe of most middle-aged women for years now. They can be very chic, dressy, and flattering on most figures, believe it or not. It's possible that our lack of ability to leave the house this past year contributed to the end of this trend. Let's face it, we've spent the last year in our sweatpants and have labeled them "loungewear" to make it feel less sloppy. It's possible the pandemic is to blame for the return of the baggier, more "comfortable" denim. However, I won't say goodbye to the massive amount of skinny jeans in my wardrobe, and you don't have to either.

Here are some tips on how to update your skinny jean outfits:

1. Show some ankle. If you don't have a raw hem at the bottom, make one!

2. Grab a button fly and go high. If you still want to wear skinnies because you love the look, go for a high-waisted pair with a button fly. This will keep your look trendy and stylish.

3. Cuff the bottoms. This will give your look a little detail and at the same time elongate your leg!

4. Add a chunky shoe. No one seems to be liking skinny things these days. Put on a chunky combat boot, a Chelsea boot, a block heel, or even a high top sneaker to off set your skinny jeans.
