Wide-leg, straight and flare jeans may be trendy but classic skinny jeans continue to have the unwavering support of one of the world’s biggest stars: Taylor Swift.
The 14-time Grammy Award winning pop star attended the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Las Vegas Raiders game last month in black skinnies, reigniting online debates about the fit’s status in fashion.
Though women’s skinny jeans have lost market share in recent years and sell, on average, for lower prices than trendier fits, the silhouette has been a staple in Swift’s closet for years. A true millennial, 34-year-old Swift wore skinny jeans throughout the 2010s, pairing dark wash skinnies with other hallmark items of the time like oxford shoes, tall boots, chunky scarves and duffle coats in autumnal colors.
