The great thing about fashion is that it has a circle of life. Silhouettes or accessories that go out of style tend to make a comeback eventually. This year, it's skinny jeans turn.

From "mom jeans" to "barrel jeans," denim on the baggier side has been big for the better part of the last decade. Now, skinny jeans are returning to the fashion scene, and it's time to update our outfit rotations.

Whether you want to put a modern twist on this classic denim cut or revisit some old staples, here's how to style your skinny jeans in 2025.


Scroll to find out the most flattering ways for how to style your skinny jeans in 2025!

If you've been on TikTok lately, then you know that the go-to way to wear skinny jeans in the winter pretty much hasn't changed since circa 2015. We're talking about accessorizing with tall leather boots and an oversized coat.

This fit may not be anything new, but it's reliable and downright adorable. Go for a chunky heeled boot with a wide calf to juxtapose your tighter jeans, as well as a big trench, leather, or fur coat to add even more shape to your silhouette.

Next, if you're a corporate girlie, the resurgence of skinny jeans offers up a ton of business casual outfit opportunities.

Stick to blue denim with a tucked-in blouse, tweed blazer, and leather loafers for an everyday outfit. Or, try out black ankle jeans with heels and a wool coat for a more polished look that can go straight from the office to after-work drinks.

Given the fitted and somewhat unassuming cut of skinny jeans, you'll be able to play around more with layering and statement tops, too.

For the past few years, baggy jeans have stolen the spotlight, often being paired with neutral and minimalist tops (think plain body suits or crop tops) to let the extra denim shine.

However, with skinny jeans, you shouldn't hesitate to go bigger and bolder up above. Experiment with ruffles, one-shoulder blouses, different proportions, and even peplums. This one-exiled shirt style is also making a return, whether you like it or not!

In 2025, don't be afraid to go for vibrant hues, either. Colors are in, especially as we get closer to spring, so dress in what makes you happy. Throw on a retro long-sleeve with medium-wash skinny jeans, a monochromatic outfit, or simply bright-colored accessories like sunglasses, jewelry, and footwear to make your look stand out.

Last but not least, we can absolutely never go wrong with a good old-fashioned white button-down tucked into dark-wash skinny jeans. This outfit alone, coupled with some flats or sneakers, is a tried-and-true pairing that continues to deliver.

Or, you can spruce up this iconic look by tossing a blazer or trench on top, sporting heels, and accessorizing with a clutch or mini purse and sleek black sunglasses.
