The easiest way to wear skinny jeans in 2023 is to style them with oversized, voluminous tops (and no, I don’t mean tunics).Today, it’s all about balancing the top to the bottom. Like this voluminous sweatshirt that has a half-tuck at the waist.It’s not as shapeless as a tunic since we’re defining the waist here, but the proportions are balanced out.A boxy fit t-shirt, cropped cardigan or a classic button-down are all modern ways to give your look proportions.You do not have to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe, we’re talking about simple style swaps here.This outfit, for example, was shot circa 2019.

A silk blouse with pointy-toe heels and skinny jeans is a beautiful combination as long as the top isn’t too tight.Likewise, a button-down with skinny jeans is another classic outfit that will never go out of style. Update the look for 2023 by playing with how you tuck in the button-down and looking for a bit more of a looser fit.Cardigans with skinny jeans is another timeless outfit that we’ve probably all worn for many years. Modernize the look with a cropped cardigan to bring balance and sophistication to the overall outfit idea.As a general rule of thumb, keep the rest of your pieces oversized and loose-fitting when styling skinny jeans.Your oversized coats and blazers paired with your tight jeans make the perfect combination for a balanced look.This oversize wool coat finishes off her boots with jeans outfit perfectly.

I love these suggestions:)ReplyIf I don’t want to roll skinny jeans this year, can I slash the bottom of the leg, so they fit over the Chelsea’s? Front, back or side slash? Or not a good idea?ReplyThis is the only post I’ve read on this topic that hits the mark.
