Skinny jeans are a very versatile piece of clothing. They are flattering, comfortable, and have the unique ability to be able to look good with just about any other item of you pair them with!
Denim is made to be flattering for just about any type of body and any clothing preference, and even though skinny jeans are on the tighter side of things, they can still suit you no matter your body type.
Skinny jeans are perfect with many other items of clothing, from the relaxed and casual, to the dressed up on nights out.
There are, however, better and worse thing that you can wear these trousers with, so read on for what to wear with grey skinny jeans so that you really stand out from the crowd.
Types of grey skinny jeans
Although the basics of skinny jeans remains the same – a tight, figure hugging leg covering that is made from comfortable denim – there are different styles to choose from.
You can find ripped skinny jeans; boyfriend style; ankle length ones; pedal pushers and even knee length ones – the type you choose depends on your figure and what you are looking for in a pair of skinny jeans.
All will be flattering and comfortable, so it only remains to choose the type that you like the most.
What to wear with grey skinny jeans
A. Tops
What top you wear with your grey skinny jeans will depend on the event you are going for, but as a general rule your top half should be less closely fitting than the bottom half, to add contrast.
A blouse or shirt made from light, floaty material will offset your skinny jeans perfectly, whether you go for long or short sleeves.
If you wear a long blouse, be sure to tuck in the front of it, to add shape to the outfit.
You can, of course, go for a figure hugging top, but if you do this then consider adding a chunky jacket or a flowing cardigan to relax the look.
For a casual summery look, a vest top with a cardigan will look stunning, while for the colder months, a cosy, chunky jumper will look super cute as well as being warm and snuggly.
For a more formal look, try white blazer which works great with almost any colour.
B. Shoes
Heels look great with skinny jeans, there’s no doubt about that.
The height of the heels combined with the closeness of the jeans can make your legs look long and slender, and you can go for tall, skyscraper stilettos, or knee high boots.
Either will look great with the jeans, so just take your preference! The stilettos will give you an air of femininity, while the boots add a more masculine look which works really well with this style of jeans.
Ankle boots also work really well with skinny jeans; the chunkier the better, for a contrast to the tight trousers.
You can also dress your jeans down with trainers, for a more casual look. These trousers are incredibly versatile and forgiving, and will take you from a chilled out brunch to the dizzy heights of midnight dancing, with just a few tweaks and changes of the odd item of clothing.
C. Accessories
Because of the neutral colour of the jeans, your accessories can be a little more wild.
Think brightly coloured bags and jewellery, which will look fantastic with the toned down background of the jeans – you can afford to go as far as your favourite neon accessories, the ones that don’t quite go with black trousers, and be safe in the knowledge that the effect will be “wow!” rather than “wince!”
A pop of colour in a bright scarf, for the winter months, is a great addition, while in the summer you can add glam to your outfit with a pair of snazzy sunglasses or a jaunty hat.
Final words
Grey skinny jeans are both comfortable and flattering, and they have the added bonus of being able to be worn with just about any other colour, so you really can wear them for absolutely any occasion.
A casual day in the office could even be brightened up with a pair of these beauties, as can a night out letting your hair down, surrounded by your besties and looking your best.
