How To Do The Skinny

Cinch Trick

Waist-whittling belts and corsets are a major trend and are perhaps the coolest way to take your skinny jeans into high-fashion territory. Wear yours with a long crisp white button-down cinched with an embroidered lace-up belt. Finish with modest khaki-colored pointed-toe pumps and sleek pouch clutch.

Cape On

Try a mod-inspired ensemble by wearing a ruffled frock and cape over your skinnies. Accessorize with suede ankle boots and a newsboy cap.

Velvet Vibes

Add interest to the turtleneck-and-jeans combo by teaming it with a crushed velvet jacket. Tall leather boots accented with studs provide the perfect dose of edginess.

Sexy Satin

Go flirty with a satin asymmetrical top that shows off your décolletage without revealing too much. Add glitz and glamour with a sparkly choker and sexy strappy heels. Offset the sultry ensemble by draping a double-breasted checked jacket over your shoulders.
