It's true that baggy, straight-leg, and flared jeans continue to be denim front-runners for fashion people. But while these more relaxed silhouettes will certainly hold strong throughout 2025, it's skinny jeans that are set to dominate the trends and make a big comeback this year, despite their somewhat polarising nature.
After scrolling through the accounts of some of our favourite fashion follows, it became quite clear that there are a few specific elevated basics the fashion crowd will wear with their skinny jeans this year to create chic looks. Although, just about anything pairs flawlessly with them given the classic nature of the cut.
Keep scrolling to check out the trend-forward basics fashion people will wear with skinny and slim-straight jeans in 2025, as well as shopping inspiration.
The Basics Fashion People Are Wearing With Skinny Jeans in 2025:
1. A Blazer
Style Notes: A classic blazer is considered a staple for many, and an oversized style offers a relaxed silhouette that updates a pair of skinny jeans––opt for a suede iteration with ballet flats to make the look feel very 2025.
Shop the Look:
This faux suede style is bound to sell out so fast.
Levi's jeans will always be top tier.
As soft as it looks.
To wear on repeat across all seasons.
So so chic.
2. A Striped Knit
Style Notes: The fashion crowd still can't get enough of striped jumpers, so make sure you keep yours out for 2025. Add a cosy jacket with boots to make skinny jeans winter-proof.
