How I am Styling Skinny Pants

Happy Thursday! If the commentary on Beth’s recent Denim video and posts are any indication, many of y’all are not giving up on skinny jeans! I bet you a million bucks they’ll be back around, so hang on to your favorite pairs. I have never been a fan of skinny jeans, instead I have always preferred skinny pants, in a variety of materials, my favorites being ponte, or other thick cotton/elastane combination. Every time J.Crew brings out the Pixie Pant, I am there for it! So today I am sharing a new favorite skinny pant with How I am Styling Skinny Pants.

How I am Styling Skinny Pants

Stitch Front Seam Legging

(Vince)

Vince is calling these pants “Leggings,” which is accurate enough, I suppose. But in my mind a legging only refers to pants in which the leg opening is tight around your ankle, like yoga tights, or Spanx Faux Leather Leggings, of which I am a fan. This is my own personal definition, as I am easily proven wrong with the many “Legging” options out there. Regardless of what anyone is calling them, I really like the retro look of skinny pants with a side or back zip, and a seam down the front and back.

So, the Stitch Front Seam Legging is from Vince, we have talked about this brand being one of our favorite high-end brands here before, so you might recognize the name. I recently purchased these pants during their amazing 80% off sale. I know that the non-sale price tag will stop many in their tracks, but I found some great alternatives in this style that won’t break the bank. 

 

Budget-Friendly Options: Ponte Pintuck Ankle Pant | Pull-On Pixie Pant | Pixie Pant

I am wearing regular size xs. Vince does not have petite sizing, so I did get these pants hemmed a few inches so they are cropped.

QUINCE DUPE OUTFIT

(Quince)

Speaking of budget-friendly, I actually found affordable dupes of basically my whole outfit from Quince – which is not only budget-friendly but they make organic, sustainable clothing with exceptional quality. So if you like my look, but not the pricetag, Check out this Quince Dupe Outfit.

Waffle-Knit Henley Sweater

(Madewell)

Then, because I am wearing skinny pants, I like to wear something with a little contrast in cut or shape. So a chunky sweater is a great option for cooler temperatures.

As I write this, the Waffle-Knit Henley Sweater is on sale and might sell out quickly, so I have rounded up a couple of other options. This version from Quince is nearly identical. This sweater I am wearing is from Madewell, and I sized down one size to xxs. Much like the Waffle Knit Vest I shared last week, the waffle knit is chunky, soft and warm. 

Alternate Sweater Options: Waffle Stitch Polo Sweater | Cotton Polo Sweater | Brenna Polo Sweater

 

I love the look of a classic ballet flat with skinny pants. So I have my silver Greta Ballet Flats. Pointed toe or round toe flats are great with skinny pants – such a classic silhouette.

Then I have my new favorite bag, the Transport Bucket Bag, which I shared last week. This bag has become my new daily bag. I go between a small bag like the Small Transport Crossbody and something a little larger like the Transport Shoulder Crossbody depending on my needs. And I was feeling like sometimes I do need something a little larger, so this Transport Bucket Bag is the perfect solution.
