Flashback Friday: Black Skinny Jeans
Today's Flashback Friday is going to blow your mind. Even I'm a bit shocked at how versatile black skinny jeans can be! They work with black shoes, brown shoes, gray shoes, nude shoes, leopard print, polka dots, denim shirts, gold sequins.... does it get any better than that? My other favorite thing about these jeans - you can hardly tell they are jeans. You could wear them to work and totally pull them off as dress pants. Go ahead, I won't tell. ;-)
Which look is your favorite? Which looks would you wear to work?

Totally agree..My fav is no 7 and 11...Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThis is how I feel about black skinny cargos. I love 3, 5 and 11.
ReplyDeleteYou've proved that black skinny jeans is a must to have, like a black dress :)
ReplyDeleteI actually said, "OOOH!" when I first looked at this! I like 3, 4, 5, 6 . . . ok, maybe I like them all!
ReplyDeleteWoW, Your right! Those are some versatile jeans :) My faves are 2, 7 and 8
ReplyDeleteSo hard to choose, but I will say 11 is my favorite. I am adding black skinny jeans to my reward list for doing well on P90X :-) Thanks again for the ideas.
ReplyDeleteyou're so right - they are very very versatile! my favorite look is the first one with the denim shirt and olive green blazer!
ReplyDeletelove your blog, i found it off refinery29!
J, your timing couldn't be better. I just bought my first pair (well, since the '80s) of black jeans and I'm trying to figure out how to style them. Sometimes my closet utterly confuses me!

I agree I have a couple of pairs of black skinny pants and they work with EVERYTHING. I mean I have to rerain from using htem everytime I go out since it goes with all the cute tops.
ReplyDeleteBlack skinnies are on my fashion wish list right now. You're totally right with how versitile they are. My favorite looks of yours is the bottom row, second from last on the right. I remember the Gap inspiration photo.
ReplyDeleteI aim to please! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you!! So glad you like. :-)
ReplyDeletesooo gorgeous!! they're all my favorite!
ReplyDeleteOK, I need black skinny jeans like asap!
ReplyDeleteI love all of them! In fact, you inspred my work outfit today; although, I have the pant equivalent to these jeans, ALA GAP.
ReplyDeleteThey are too tight for the work force, but I LOVE the gray vest look the best!
ReplyDeleteI think it's tough to generalize the "work force" because everyone's office has such different dress codes. (unless you are saying that these jeans are too tight for me in general, which I would disagree with, but if that were the case, then they would be inappropriate anywhere not just at work!!)
ReplyDeleteAnother thing to keep in mind - wearing baggy clothes is JUST as inappropriate as wearing something that is too tight. If you show up in a blazer and dress pants that are too big, you look sloppy and completely unprofessional! Works both ways. :-)
I love the number 1 with jean shirt/cardigan for the casual day and number 8 with gold sequins for the night . Great recap.
ReplyDeleteI'm wearing my black skinny pants (cotton, not jeans SO NICE) today with my brown giraffe shoes. I love how well they go together.
ReplyDeleteI love and would wear all the outfits! Question: where are your skinnies from? Gap?
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda! The jeans are from the Gap, last winter (2009).
ReplyDeleteI really like look #8 because this looks like you are ready for a night out. It is fun and sassy, but very tasteful all at the same time. Great multi use article of the black skinny jean!
ReplyDeleteMy faves are 1, 7, 8, and 9. I'd wear 7 and 9 to work.
ReplyDeleteI was never a big fan of skinny black jeans but now when i see those outfits i say they just like blue jeans but classier love how you manage to dress it up or down. thank you for the inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteWhat brand of jeans are these? I love my black skinny jeans, and cannot wait to get back into them after baby is born. I get so many comments on mine and they are only Topshop.
ReplyDeleteThese jeans are by Gap. That's where I get most of my jeans, they work really well on my bod! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I just found your blog today and am in love (that doesn't happen too often! :). I've gone back so many pages and have been loving it.
ReplyDeleteI would wear all these looks to work EXCEPT the ones with the lace-up booties. My absolute favourite is top row, #4 with the grey (Aldo) booties. I feel like I've worn this outfit OR am looking at myself, almost (umm... that's a little creepy)...
I'll be back for sure. I'm LOVING your blog :)

ReplyDeleteblack skinny jeans are my fave and such a wardrobe staple.I wore mine tonight :)

i just wore my black skinny jeans tonight with a long ripped tank, black suede Steve Madden booties, studded leather jacket & multi chain necklace. I have to admit, its a look I wouldn't have considered until a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for the inspiration J! BTW ladies, the Limited makes some awesome 917 black skinny jeans that are fantastic & reasonably priced!!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so glad you like the blog, thanks for stoppin' by! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAs someone who works in a conservative office, pants that tight just would not work with my boss! But definitely in more creative places!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love every outfit - but my two favorites are #6 and #11, and #11 I would definitely wear to work. I've always wondered if it's "ok" to wear pointed toe pumps with skinnies and you rock the look so I'm going to try it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I've wondered, is there a shoe you absolutely should not wear with skinnies? Thanks J! :)
I just bought so black skinny "slacks" from Target. I swear..they feel like sweats. I am obsessed with them!!! When I was waiting to check out I was thinking, "Please please let J use her skinny black jeans for Flashback Friday this week!" Thanks for reading my mind lady!
ReplyDeletethe second to last from the bottom is my favorite, so cute!
ReplyDeletelove your style !!!!

I love it you are good at what you do. You go girl!!!!
ReplyDeleteClockwise: 2, 3, 4, 5, 9 & 12 are my favorites.
ReplyDeletelove this! just bought my own black skinny jeans yesterday and I'm excited to pair it with different colors and prints.
ReplyDeleteI need tall/long black skinny jeans and seriously NO WHERE sells them. When I have asked about it stores have responded that they don't make "fashion colors" in tall.
ReplyDeleteAnyone have any secrets on where to get them for tall gals?!
It looks like Gap, LOFT, Ann Taylor and Banana all have tall black skinnies online!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thanks for this :) I must ask - what are those boots you have on in the final picture - the brown lace up heels? They're great!
ReplyDeleteThe brown lace-ups are from Aldo several years ago!
