I Thought I Was Done With Skinny Jeans, But These Outfits Changed My Mind
I honestly can’t remember the last time I wore skinny jeans. Perhaps two—maybe even three—years have gone by since a pair was even in my rotation. It's not surprising, you need only look at the current spring/summer 2021 fashion trends to see that loose jeans are now on the rise. And a quick glance in my wardrobes shows that rigid, non-stretch, looser styles dominate. In fact, I didn’t think I'd be needing to make room for skinnies in my wardrobe anytime soon, but, of course, things change. Whether it’s pairing them with of-the-moment knee-high boots or an oversized blazer (or both), these looks below actually have me wanting to check my storage for a pair. To see all eight of the outfits I'm loving for yourself and shop them along the way, just keep scrolling.

I'm currently in the process of collecting oversized blazers, so you can bet I'll be adding this to my outfit rotation.
Shop the look:
We probably all own these basics but don't always think to put them together like this. I'm definitely copying this outfit this weekend.
