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?

  6. So 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.

  8. 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!

  10. Black 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.

  14. OK, I need black skinny jeans like asap!

  15. I love all of them! In fact, you inspred my work outfit today; although, I have the pant equivalent to these jeans, ALA GAP.

  16. They are too tight for the work force, but I LOVE the gray vest look the best!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I 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!!)

    Another 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. :-)

  18. I love the number 1 with jean shirt/cardigan for the casual day and number 8 with gold sequins for the night . Great recap.

  19. I'm wearing my black skinny pants (cotton, not jeans SO NICE) today with my brown giraffe shoes. I love how well they go together.

  20. I love and would wear all the outfits! Question: where are your skinnies from? Gap?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Thanks Amanda! The jeans are from the Gap, last winter (2009).

  22. I 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!

  23. My faves are 1, 7, 8, and 9. I'd wear 7 and 9 to work.

  24. I 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 :)

  25. What 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.

    ReplyDelete
  26. These jeans are by Gap. That's where I get most of my jeans, they work really well on my bod! ;-)

  27. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! 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.

    I 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 :)

  31. 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!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Yay! I'm so glad you like the blog, thanks for stoppin' by! ;-)

  33. As someone who works in a conservative office, pants that tight just would not work with my boss! But definitely in more creative places!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I 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!

    And I've wondered, is there a shoe you absolutely should not wear with skinnies? Thanks J! :)

  35. 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!

  41. I 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.

    Anyone have any secrets on where to get them for tall gals?!

    ReplyDelete
  42. It looks like Gap, LOFT, Ann Taylor and Banana all have tall black skinnies online!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Awesome! 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!

    ReplyDelete
  44. The brown lace-ups are from Aldo several years ago!
