If you go just about anywhere on the internet, you’ll find a youth telling you with 100 percent certainty that skinny jeans are out without question and that it’s all about wide-leg, baggy fits and jeans that look straight out of your mom’s closet from the ’80s.
But what they aren’t telling you is that there’s no wrong way to wear something, and so long as you’re confident in it, there are no pieces that are vehemently off limits either. If straight-leg jeans make you feel like a lesser version of yourself than your tried-and-true skinny jeans do, well, there’s no reason you can’t keep on wearing them, even in 2021.
If you’re opting for skinny jeans, there are ways to style them to make them look trendy and chic for fall 2021—it all just depends on what you’re pairing them with. Need a little bit of inspo for how to style your favorite jeans this fall? These seven looks won’t fail you, and you’ll look absolutely anything but dated.
1. With a shacket and chunky boots

For a simple-but-chic fall outfit, chunky boots and a shacket are the perfect pair for your skinny jeans. Chunky boots with lug soles are one of the top shoe trends of 2021, and with skinny jeans tucked into them, it allows the boots to catch the eye without needing to compete with a wider-leg pant. The result is a go-to look you can turn to time and time again.

When the weather is chilly, there’s hardly anything better than throwing on a cozy knit and heading out the door, and when you’re opting for a longer knit, skinny jeans balance out the proportions of it perfectly.
To make it trendier for the season, opt for a pair of loafers with a chunky, ’90s-esque sole. To keep it feeling classic, choose your go-to loafers instead.
