Wardrobe Basics #2: Skinny Jeans

The Wardrobe Basics series considers those items that form the foundation of a fully functioning wardrobe. They are those pieces that will go with anything else that you might add to your wardrobe and those pieces that you go back to season after season. This series takes each of those Basics and discusses their importance and where to buy them, for every budget. You can see the previous Basics in this series here.

Skinny jeans are my ultimate Wardrobe Basic, at last count I had six pairs in my wardrobe (two of which are below!). Skinny jeans can look ultra smart and sophisticated when teamed with a shirt or blouse and blazer, and also be dressed down with a slouchy tee or jumper. Here are my skinny jeans of choice:


SAVE: H&M Slim-fit dark denim blue jeans:

SPEND: Gap Always Skinny Medium Blue Wash Jeans:
