I’ve come to the conclusion that “trendy” doesn’t always equal flattering, and “un-trendy” can be very flattering. Skinny jeans on some body frames are the most flattering cut; I find them to be my personal favorite, as well as being the most practical style as a mom of little ones. They’re so easy to style and I can wear any shoe from flip flops, heels, booties, rain boots and snow boots - they all work and what busy mom doesn’t want easy like that ;) They never left my wardrobe!

Yes yes YES! WEAR THOSE SKINNY JEANS!One blogger said there is no reason to wear our skinny jeans again! I don't know about others but I can't just get rid of all my jeans and buy new ones. Plus I think some tops and jackets pair better with skinny jeans. Thank you Marne for saying it is alright to wear them!

Yes! I mean, I never did wear jeggings, but they’re different than skinny jeans. Skinny, straight, modern straight…all the jeans…if you feel you look good in whatever style, wear them! Funny, I saw a couple influencers say they’re not really worn a lot anymore, along with the booties that have cutouts…and then I see them worn in subsequent videos 🙄

Thank you so much!

For us petite people wide leg, balloon style or very cropped straight leg don’t work. I’m 5’2” 112#, 54, straight to slightly hourglass shape and those styles with a lot of fabric are so overwhelming. I like skinny jeans that fit a bit looser so I size up one size (and bonus the waist is loose and comfy), and it looks more like a fitted straight jean. I like the slim straight jeans also and one of the best ones are from the Gap. A looser sweater on top and I’m set. Also rose has to do so much with body type. I’m a little short waisted so when I’m a bit thinner and less curvy low rise at 8-8.5 inches works best. When I’m a bit fuller midrise, about 9.5-10 inch rise works great. And all stores and all Jean manufacturers still have a ton of skinny jeans for sale. Thanks for all the style tips.

Thank you for mentioning that the Gap has short waisted jeans. I have an hour glass figure and am short waisted and the "sand shifts" based on my weight. I have found a slightly curvy fit at Eddie Bauer years ago and they also offered it in a baby boot in the winter.

Marnie, i’m so happy you devoted a video to skinny jeans. I agree with you completely. They have never gone out of style and will not go out of style - in particular, as you said, those that are not too too skinny or skin tight. I also love, love your makeup in this video and I hope you will be doing another makeup get ready with me again soon. And regarding cardigans and cardigan sweater sets, they will always be a timeless and relevant clothing item. As you said, they are not currently “on trend” or “trendy,” but they are a classic piece that will never go out of style. Hope the holiday season is going well for you . All the best to you and your family! ~Janis

Distressed jeans aren't appropriate for anyone... they were cute in the 90s. now its over done, whether it's a 16 year old or a 60 year old.

I am a petite (5'3" 110") 52 yo woman and find it challenging to find non-skinny jeans that are properly scaled for my size. I feel skinnies are forever classic, think Audrey Hepburn and ballet flats. If a brand doesn't offer petite, I buy skinnies labeled "cropped " and the length is perfect.

@@StylewithSerena I loved my skinny jeans and wore them all the time! I have to admit though, I've been wearing more straight leg styles lately, and I've been really loving straight leg pants/trousers. I am 77 yrs young, barely 5'2" ,113 lb. and also have longer legs for my height. It is a challenge to find the right length, but with any jeans that have a raw hem, I've just been cutting them!

I agree that we should wear WHATEVER we want! I love seeing trends & what everyone else is wearing but ultimately know what works best for me. And my fab 60yo self is going to rock it!😉

Love this video - thank you for saying skinny jeans are not dead! Whoever said they are dead has no idea about what is flattering or what is practical. I'm shorter (5'3") and curvy (size 6/8) with an hourglass figure with evenly distributed weight and anything that flares out at the bottom of my pants makes me look frumpy and stout. No thanks! I love your options of how to stay modern and up-to-date with the "out of style" skinny jeans.

YES! AMEN!!👏👏👏👏 I'm glad you said it!!As I'm getting ready for Church I'm having the skinny jean conversation with my husband, while I'm putting on my skinny jeans, and then I look and here's you video!🤣 Yes to all the reasons why skinny jeans are not out or will they ever be, especially for short women like me! They just look better and are easier to style!! And when I go out shopping it's mostly what I see!! I did finally get a pair of bootcut jeans and I do like them, but skinny are my go to!😁

Amen ! Wear what makes you feel and look fantastic!

I really haven’t given a flying fig if skinny jeans were “in” or not, I’ve continued to wear them. Straight jeans are OK, but you’re right, the shoe thing throws me off. I live in a northern state and skinny jeans work better, because we are wearing boots and snow boots now. For me, booties can be OK, but it depends on the weather. People should not get so hung up on trends. Just do you.

Finally!! Common sense for Skinny Jeans!! I have not put mine away because I like them tucked into a knee high boot. I also agree that proportion is key. The oversize look is so great with fitted Skinny Jeans and leggings. Sometimes I find using straight leg jeans a bit on the frumpy side. Over all, I find styling Skinny Jeans pretty easy. Thank you Marnie. Happy Holidays!!!!

Thanks for this video! Honestly I wear whatever I want and don’t let anyone dictate my style. However it is nice to see new ideas for skinny jeans!!

I love my skinny jeans!! They just work. As you said Marnie, skinny jeans are so easy to style.

THANK YOU! I’m so glad you made this video!

Hi Marnie, This was such a helpful video! So glad to know the skinny jean is still in style. I am 5ft 7 and I like this jean and the way it looks with different tops. I always look back on the video you did years ago on casual outfits with denim and hoping you can do another one. The other advantage to skinny jeans is they take less space when traveling.

Great suggestions! Thank you

I follow trends, when they make sense to me, but in general I agree to wear whatever you want whenever you want. I have always worn wide leg pants because they balance my tall (5’9 1/2”) curvy body but have been very happy they have been trending because I’ve bought so many! LOL This is my first fall/winter back in my office since 2019 so it’s funny you posted this as I literally just wore skinny jeans with riding boots to work last week. I do like chunky sweaters/cardigans and have also worn these in the past. As far as a normal cardigan I have them in every color and feel they are classic especially in a cold office in a corporate environment. At 51 I’ve been through many trends multiple times so I just add new items I like but keep my classics and do what’s right for me. Thanks for being real and relatable.

Yay for skinny jeans!!! And Marnie, you look amazing in this video. I love the top, makeup, hair combo!!

Such good points.

Thanks Marnie, so glad you shared this (much needed for me) topic with us! Happy Holidays, Robin

Loving your hair!

Hi Marnie, I agree skinny jeans are still in. I’m slowly adding others jean styles to my wardrobe though I wear skinny jeans more or leggings. Thanks for the video. Love and kindness, Teresa

Omg!!! Thank you!!! I’ve tried and tried to wear the straight and wide leg jeans this winter and looked terrible. I could style the cropped straight jeans in the summer and fall but living in NE Ohio couldn’t pull them off when the temps dropped!!! I’m pulling my skinny jeans back out of storage and rocking them!!!! 😘😘😘

Very helpful! love skinny jeans, thank you

I thought I would never wear skinny jeans but now it's the only style I like on my body type. Great advice. Also, I wondered about the button-up/button-down issue. From what I read, a shirt that has buttons on the collar is a button-down. A shirt without buttons on the collar is a button-up. It comes from England's original polo shirts when the men needed to keep their collars from blowing up while playing. So, a button was put on the collar to "button-down" the collar. It was brought over to American and we now have the more common shirts of today. It has nothing to do with the actual buttons going down the shirt, instead with the collar.

Finally! A reasonable and informative take on a wardrobe staple. I needed this today. My skinny jeans really DO have a place and a purpose in my everyday work life. I am a private piano and voice teacher who goes into beautiful homes to teach children and adults. I feel compelled to look my best and have it all pulled together. Skinnies still work with so many looks and I am glad you solidified what I was already thinking. Some great new suggestions too. ❣️

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am a new subscriber and am so happy I found you! I am 5' 3"" and weigh about 115. I can get away with a boot cut but the baggier jeans look ridiculous on me. I am sticking with my skinny jeans!

Love this video! (Ohio here, to me, button down meant that the collar had buttons that “buttoned down” the collar). Though the vernacular seems to have changed.

I am embracing all cuts of jeans and trousers at age 49. I came here to say that you CAN tuck jeans or trousers with a fuller leg into tall boots! It is totally ok to have a lil bit of fabric at the top of the boot, in my opinion, and I'm seeing a lot of this trend.
