Ask any girl aged around the 30 mark how she feels about skinny jeans, and she'll likely note that while drainpipes still have a place, it's a straight-cut silhouette that acts as the most relied-upon denim style in her wardrobe these days. But we're not talking about just any old straight cut—by this time in a one's life, one can get a bit picky when on the quest for flattering denim to wear day in and day out.
So these "alt-skinnies" will need to skim ankles rather than bunch at them, and a higher-rise waist is preferable for maximum muffin-top avoidance. And when we say straight-cut, we also don't mean full-on 1980s mom denim—rather slim jeans that glide (not tightly hug) legs.
