The Women's Jeans Fit Guide

Skinny jeans are designed with a figure-hugging fit from waist to ankle. Each pair of our skinny jeans is crafted from super-soft stretch denim containing elastane for a sculpting fit that's comfortable enough to wear all day.

With their streamlined silhouette, skinny fit jeans provide a sleek foundation for any outfit - working well with many types of tops and shoes, they're one of the most versatile styles of jeans. Discover updated outfit ideas, flattering footwear pairings and how to find your perfect fit with our guide.

• Best for: versatile styling, easy to dress up and down
• Rise pairing: high-waisted or mid-rise
• Stretch level: super stretchy
• Style vibe: everything from Y2K to chic and polished
• Works well with: oversized jackets, tailored shirts and knee-high boots.

Skinny jeans flatter a wide variety of body shapes and personal styles - they elongate the legs, skim the hips and add definition to the waist. Especially with a high-rise cut, skinny fits create a lengthening effect for petite women and accentuate tall frames.

Slim jeans are form-fitting through the hip and thigh, but finish with a slightly wider leg and ankle opening than narrow skinny jeans. Primarily, slim fit jeans offer a close cut without the compressive fit of skinny jeans. They don't cling to every curve and are ideal for creating a smooth silhouette with a little more leg room.

• Denim: Super-stretchy, typically contains 1-2% elastane
• Waist to hip: Cinching
• Thigh and leg: Skin-tight
• Ankle: Very narrow

• Denim: Slightly less give, typically contains 1% elastane
• Waist to hip: Smoothing
• Thigh and leg: Skims rather than clings
• Ankle: Tapered but not tight

The key to styling skinny jeans is balancing their streamlined fit with softer, more relaxed proportions. Pair with oversized jackets, chunky knitwear, or voluminous tops. Or, team with structured tailoring for a polished, put-together look.

• For everyday: mid-rise blue skinny jeans + fitted T-shirt + trench coat + ballet flats
• For work: black skinny jeans + crisp button-up shirt + oversized blazer + ankle boots
• For evening: high-waisted dark-wash skinny jeans + satin top + low-heeled shoes or pointed-toe boots.

• High-waisted skinny jeans provide a leg-lengthening, streamlined look
• Mid-rise skinny jeans are similarly smoothing yet feel slightly more casual
• Low-rise skinny jeans are a Y2K style staple that are best paired with waist-length tops, like baby tees, to show some midriff
• Length-wise, skinny jeans should finish just above your ankle bone to meet your shoes or leave a slight gap for a sleek look (unless tucking into tall boots).

Skinny jeans pair well with most types of shoes, but styles that seamlessly merge with the jeans provide a leg-lengthening illusion - think black ankle boots with dark-wash denim. Similarly, styling with pointed-toe heels draws the eye down for an elongating effect.

• Pointed-toe shoes
• Ballet flats
• Loafers
• Ankle boots
• Knee-high boots
• Sneakers.
