SKINNY

Skinny is a fitted trouser silhouette that closely follows the form of the leg along its whole length, from hip to ankle, like a second skin. This effect is achieved thanks to a narrow cut and stretchy fabrics with added elastane. Skinny visually lengthens and slims the legs, and works well combined with a voluminous top, oversized sweaters, tunics and high footwear. The silhouette became a real phenomenon of late-2000s–2010s fashion, long displacing other jeans cuts. Skinny come in denim, leather, knit and other materials. They require a well-holding fabric so as not to lose their shape. Skinny is a silhouette of spare, modern slimness, in which a fitted cut emphasises the line of the legs, creating a clean, minimalist and easily combined look that became a wardrobe staple of a whole generation.
