These aren’t skinny jeans, but…

… after years of not wearing fitted jeans, I am suddenly interested again. I know it goes against all the trends but this is where I’m at. I’ve been buying and wearing a lot of oversized and masculine shapes lately, think: shackets, big sweaters, chunky boots. And I’ve noticed that when you style a few of these things in one outfit, you need some balance. All the straight lines beg for some curves or fitted shapes.

These jeans are technically ‘straight leg’ but most often this style looks quite skinny on me. I added these to my closet for aforementioned reasons, but also because they are comfortable (because of the stretch), and warm (because no draft). I looked around quite a bit for a more fitted pair of jeans and I landed on these because I like the thick denim and the uniform, non-faded color.
