There are so many ways you can style your skinnies. Don't just stop at a basic tee.

1/9
Cropped top
Complementing your skinnies with a cropped top is a surefire way to turn heads as you walk down the street. Instead of wearing your skinny jeans the typical way, try folding up the bottom to make the look a bit more casual. Slip on a pair of sneakers and perhaps a long necklace or two, and you'll be the trendiest chick around!
2/9
Funky top
The best part about wearing skinnies is that it's extremely basic, so you can wear it with almost anything and your outfit will still look good. If you own a top that's perhaps a little too quirky to really match anything else in your wardrobe, try it with a pair of skinnies and you'll probably be good to go.
3/9
Blouse
The blouse is one way you can style your getup for a feminine look that isn't too in-your-face. A handy little purse can do wonders to your outfit, perfect for a girls' day out, a trip to the mall or even a dress down date night. Feel free to strut down the sidewalk in a pair of stilettos to accentuate even more of the feminine style.
4/9
Flannel
A flannel is an easy and comfortable way to dress up your skinny jeans. Instead of tucking it in for an androgynous look, why not tie it at the ends to make a simple pattern, or perhaps even a cropped style? That way, your outfit won't look too basic for the fashion police.
5/9
Blazer
Remember how the cropped top is one way to add a little spunk to your outfit? If you're going for a formal getup, try throwing on a blazer as well. This way, you'll become a real gamechanger to the usual smart casual attire. Of course, a cropped top won't be suitable for work, so do be sensible when it comes to choosing your outfit!
6/9
Leather jacket
You've probably already seen the leather jacket and skinny jeans combination all over the Internet, but we're here to reiterate that this look really goes down well. You might not want to wear this so much in hot weather, but it would be perfect for a cool and windy day. Don't forget to put on a pair of trendy boots and sunglasses to complete the biker chick appearance.
7/9
Denim jacket
You can play down the leather jacket with a casual, perhaps oversized, denim jacket on days when you feel like playing with other colours, for example, blue. This is one way you can look great even while on an errand run to the grocery store. Comfort and fashion can in fact go together!
8/9
Trenchcoat
If you haven't realised, a gorgeous piece of outerwear can greatly spruce up the basic outfit within. You may be wearing just a basic tee and a pair of worn-out skinnies, but, drape on a trenchcoat or parka and you'll become an instant fashion hit!
9/9
Cardigan
If you find that a trenchcoat isn't too weather-appropriate, especially here in this humid city, a long cardigan or kimono make excellent choices too. Since the cardigan is a little more casual, you can pair it with the versatile cropped top for an effortless, tropical look. Especially if the cardigan you're going to wear is of a solid, neutral colour, you'd probably want to make sure your top inside isn't too bland as well.

Skinny jeans have been the talk of the town for as long as we can remember. Perhaps it's because of how effortlessly chic it makes a person look when paired with pointed heels, or maybe we like how rugged our outfits can get with a few jean cuts at the knees and a baseball cap to top it off. Whatever it is that makes skinnies so loveable, we've got to admit that it is indeed a fashion staple that complements just about anything that is worn with it.

If you've been having trouble with changing up your wardrobe lately, perhaps our gallery might be able to give you a little bit of inspiration. One thing about wearing skinny jeans is that you shouldn't be afraid to dress up. Ironically, to attain the stylish and effortless look, you've got to put in a bit of effort. Scroll through the pictures we've sourced for you above to see how this is done. In time, and with a little practice, perhaps you'll find that it'll take no effort at all.
