Blue skinny jeans are back.

You’d have to be living under a rock not to notice that skinny jeans have made a big comeback this year. 10 years after their prime, both Gen Z and millennials seem to agree that blue skinny jeans are back and the only thing to wear in autumn 2025.

A once-prolific silhouette, blue skinny jeans instantly take me back to the ’00s. From Kate Moss to Alexa Chung, everywhere you looked, people were wearing skinnies. Paired with everything from suede knee-high boots to velvet loafers, they were a staple of the It-girl wardrobe. And lest we forget the two specific styles that reigned supreme: Topshop‘s Joni and Jamie. But I myself, an ex-ripped-Joni-jeans wearer, was all but relieved when the fashion cycle thankfully moved on, and wide-leg jeans, barrel-leg shapes and all-around looser silhouettes took over.

So, you can imagine how I felt when, last autumn, one of TikTok’s most-watched fashion influencers, Alix Earle, feverishly announced to her 7.5 million followers that blue skinnies were the only thing to wear with boots, sending the app into a frenzy. Yet, as someone who’d worked in fashion for a while, I wasn’t too shocked; over the past few years, the fashion set has started to come back around to the super-slim denim trend.

From Chloé’s Resort 2026 collection to Isabel Marant’s autumn/winter 2025 show, to name a few, blue skinny jeans have certainly had a resurgence. But the skinnies of today are not quite the same as those of yesteryear. Although very skinny iterations certainly have their fans, the most stylish dressers on my feeds are opting for silhouettes that are more on the slim side and don’t cling to the legs quite so intensely as they did the first time around.

Plus, with stylish celebs like Emily Ratajkowski and Kate Middleton wearing them once more, as well as a plethora of fashion people sharing plenty of enviable outfit inspiration, they’ve all but proven blue skinny jeans can complete almost any look.
