Emily Ratajkowski Wore the Skinny-Jeans Outfit Trend That'll Never Go Out

Emily Ratajkowski is a denim chameleon, always game to try the latest trends. But just when you thought she was hopelessly devoted to baggy styles, she dug a pair of skinny jeans out of her closet. Last week in New York, EmRata was out walking her dog with a friend, and instead of her usual baggy, very high or very low-rise jeans, she went with a pair of classic high-waisted skinny jeans in a dark wash, which she paired with a bodysuit, oversize workwear jacket, and high-top Superga sneakers.
The age-old outfit trend of skinny jeans, sneakers, a fitted top, and an oversized jacket is a formula that always has and always will work because it's basically trendless. Everyone owns the basics that comprise it, and the combinations of pieces you can use to create the look are endless. It's also the perfect outfit for the awkward spring weather that's so common these days. See how EmRata made the outfit her own, and then shop similar pieces below.
