Could probably live in black skinnies…

This season I’ve decided not to shop… For clothes. I will be buying lots of makeup and product (more on that in my next post), however I do not need anymore clothes… None. Okay maybe two things, a new mink coat (faux? possibly) because it will keep me warm even if I’m wearing the skimpiest of tank tops underneath, and some really sick platform ankle boots, as you can never have too many pairs of ankle boots. I’ve got mad zippers, got mad hardware, and now I seek mad laces… Recommendations? I also seek mad straps, like the Balmain ones… So that’s three things, then no more shopping.

Although I am not seeking any new looks to covet, I have been inspired by recent photographs from my favourite street style blogs. A lot of these photos were taken in New York, and the simple fact is, if you are like me and already have an established look, for fall winter, you just need to wear more clothes, layer and layer some more! Loose ten pounds so all the extra fabric does not make you look like a house (I am only half joking, after all I did just join Equinox Tribeca… Who wants a gym buddy?), the irony is if you do actually loose weight you’ll probably be colder and need the extra layers, so maybe don’t.

The photographs below are of strangers, familiar faces, and people we know… The ones who make stretched out tee shirts look haute. Naturally most are braving the cold and pounding pavement in gasp worthy ankle boots, but one thing worth noting is the fact that all these pictures feature the necessary fall/winter basic that is black skinny jeans.

I assume you already own a pair of extremely flattering and versatile black skinny jeans. If you don’t… Wow seriously? I’ll share a few of my top pics after the looks.

Now if your skinnies have been stolen by your best friend (I seriously refuse to believe you have never purchased a pair), or you need an update… Here’s what works:

1. Blank denim studded skinny jeans $78 at Shopbop.

2. Community denim low rise skinny with zips $150 at Shopbop.

3. J Brand 12 inch pencil leg ripped jeans $187 at Shopbop.

All three of these jeans are in my closet, I am not sharing bs recommendations out of my ass. I picked these for very simple reasons, 2% stretch is perfect to keep you looking lean yet do not loose their shape, the black dye is always a deep jett black, and does not fade. They all have specific details which make them special, however, these details are minimal, and are discrete enough to be covered up, or showed off… The only exception being the J Brand 12 inch skinnies with rips, but guess what? They’re currently my favourite jeans, and I dare you to try them on… You won’t be able to not get them.
