You Can Stop Searching: Here Are the Best Skinny Jeans at Every Store

The best skinny jeans are—let's be honest—the ones that make you feel like the best version of yourself. The clue is in the name. They're the ones that don't sag at the bottom, bag at the knee, or need permanent attention in order to stay put. They're the ones that sculpt and tone without you having to sculpt and tone.

The best skinny jeans are, above all, a pair you can pull out day after day and feel really confident about wearing. But like all cherished fashion go-tos, there's an amount of trial and error—and research—that go into locating them. It's not easy to pinpoint the jeans you'll want to wear on repeat when you're trying them on for 10 seconds in a dimly lit changing room after a feast at Busaba. (Just me? Okay.)

In order to aid you in what can be a nightmare quest to find the perfect jeans, we've contacted a selection of the most trusted denim stockists to find out which pairs they sell the most of and why. Because no matter how we may get sidetracked by high-waisted jeans or the many new denim trends on offer in 2018, nothing beats a good—nay, great—pair of skinnies. In honor of our constant obsession with denim, here are the best skinny jeans that you can shop right now.

ASOS

ASOS's Ridley skinnies are the site's top-selling jeans, and last year the retailer shifted over 30,000 pairs of them. The higher waistband and many ultra-flattering deep washes are understandably favorable, but you can now find the cut in multiple iterations to square up to the latest trends. The Ridley is closely followed by a growing interest in Farleigh jeans. These err toward the baggier side of things and are flying off the virtual rails at a rate of 1500 per week.

MATCHESFASHION.COM

Over at MatchesFashion.com, skinny-jean sales appear to be strongest within the realm of reworked skinny jeans. That equates to a couple of key styles going crazy: Vetements' high-waisted skinnies (which keep selling out despite their high price tag) and Re/Done's altered vintage skinny jeans are proving to be the hottest tickets. Because these stiffer denim styles have been tailored and tweaked to fit perfectly, is it any surprise they're so sought-after? While you can't buy the Vetements pair, the straight-leg jeans are just as chic.

TOPSHOP

Considering Topshop genuinely sells a pair of skinny jeans every second, it's highly likely you already own one of the brand's longest-standing styles, the Jamie. These are such a super-tight fit I've even known drainpipe-wearing boys to wear. If you know that they suit you, start experimenting with the more fashion-forward finishes you'll find Jamie in this season, like fringed hems or lace-up sides. Or you could try the style that's giving this silhouette a run for its money: the Joni. This is a slightly more retro cut with a higher rise, and as we type, it's currently more popular.

SELFRIDGES

Out of the vast denim hall of Selfridges, there are two brands that really stand out. Firstly, Khloé Kardashian's denim label, Good American, has been performing phenomenally since it launched last year. Within the first month, the ultra-high-rise skinnies sold out. The other denim label with strong skinny sales is J Brand. If even the velvet finish is racking up receipts, we're sold. After all, this is a notoriously tricky fabric to look super svelte in, so the 815 cut must be good.
