Like many of you out there (I'm guessing), I have mixed feelings about the impending return of skinny jeans, skinny pants, and leggings, which seems inevitable at this point. On the one hand, I'm ready for a change from the years of baggy silhouettes. On the other, I don't want to look like I'm stuck in 2011. There's an easy solution for the latter: Wear skinny jeans and leggings with current trends that will keep them from looking dated.
As someone who studies outfits daily, I've been taking copious notes on the most successful looks that include skinny pants, jeans, or leggings. All of them include the freshest 2025 trends. Whether it's a shoe trend, a color, or something even more specific than that, these pairings are fail-safe. Keep scrolling to see IRL examples of the trends and shop items that are guaranteed to keep your legging and skinny-jeans outfits from looking dated.
