Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll have noticed that the most fashionable type of jeans right now are skinny fit.
They are definitely going to be around for a while, so this article will help you choose whether skinny jeans will suit you, and where to get the best pair from!
Skinny jeans, or slim fit, have a snug fit through the legs and end in a small leg opening that sometimes needs a zip. They are usually made of stretch denim, which allows a super slim fit. Skinny jeans can be worn by men and women.
A good pair will slim the thighs while lifting and shaping the bum, and can be worn by anyone. Some pairs even come with a reinforced front, so that they will flatten the stomach!
#1. 3.1 Phillip Lim
Although the recent collections are viewable on 31philliplim.com, there are not many pairs of jeans in the new range. The Summer range is still available, however, and features a number of well designed and stylish pairs of skinny jeans, in neutral colours.
#2. 18th Amendment
Available through my-wardrobe.com, 18th amendment sell a range of stylish skinny jeans. Most styles are available in dark blue, light blue, very blue and black, and some even come in white. The jeans can be expensive, but are very well made, and when a new season is released the older seasons are put on sale.
#3. Acne
Acne is a very fashion forward brand, whose current range (shop.acnestudios.com) feature skinny jeans that are different from any other. This is mainly due to the detail and design of each different pair. Acne have experimented with dyes, creases and colours, and the result is some of the most stunning skinnies I’ve ever seen.
#4. Cheap Monday
If your male, definitely check out Cheap Monday, as they offer skinny jeans for men too. Their range has become famous in women’s magazines, with classic designs and cuts.
#5. Diesel
Diesel are still one of the best places to buy jeans from, offering several unique and stylish designs in each collection. Very well made, and also very flattering, if you can afford to get diesel it’s definitely worthwhile. Diesel.com shows most of the range.
#6. dVb
Another brilliant brand, although these size very small and tend to only look good on people with an almost flat stomach. The designs all feature the dVb logo, and are available at revolveclothing.com, or my-wardrobe.com. However, I’d recommend trying these on before you buy.
#7. H&M
If you are on a budget, check out hm.com. These jeans are up to the minute stylish, and usually very comfortable, but they don’t last as long as some other brands. They come in the usual variety of colours, but also come in bright red and green for more daring people.
#8. J Brand
Jbrandjeans.com haven’t really built a name for themselves yet, but with skinnies like these, they certainly will! The jeans can be made in any wash available on the website, which includes blacksmith, which is a ‘natural wear’ dark coloured denim, or pacific, dark rinsed denim with deep indigo hues.
#9. Kate Moss at Top shop
Kate’s new range launches just before Christmas 08, and features some very tight, black wash skinnies. While Top Shop jeans are always well made, these have the extra benefit of being designed by someone who knows what she wants in her jeans, and they are marketed as being very comfortable and ultra stylish. Check out the Top Shop website for sneak previews.
definitely Lee, also i like the website.

honestly, when guys wear girl skinny jeans it freaks me out. I know guys like skinny jeans and so do I, but if ur more of a skate/punk/rocker get bullhead jeans they sell them for $40 at pacsun. I have a few pairs and their the shit
I have a couple of skinny jeans. BDG from urban outfitters has lasted a good three years until the waist started to stretch. Also, the material isn’t very soft, relatively speaking. Blank skinny jeans has also lasted three years before the zipper broke on me. I must get them replaced because the jean itself is still good but shows signs of wear in the knee area. Lucky skinny jeans still look pretty new after about 4 years of wearing them. Wet seal skinny jeans has surprisingly lasted about 4 years as well, even though the material is very thin. The next pair of skinny jeans that I place to purchase is from J Brand because I like the plain pockets.
to Moochoee:
Oh, J Brand jeans are the best! I have a skinny pair from them and I love it! The only problem is they were dark blue (almost black) when I got them and within a couple of months whiter strokes have appeared at the back of the knees. They still look great, but I wish the denim didn’t wash off so fast… But other than that -those jeans are fab!
Great choice!
I can’t believe you didn’t mention Levi’s – they have a nice selection of skinny jeans for both men and women.
to TLG:
I never tried Levi’s skinny jeans before, but I’ll definitely go check them out! Thanks for sharing! :)
hi, i haven’t tried any of these brands yet, but i had just bought some skinnies from terranova, they’re great and also from calliope, they are totally affordable! and they make the bum just really very very sexy! and they are utterly forgiving on the thighs, they make me look like I have really long legs and im only 5′ lol
