After years of the skinny jean reigning as the denim queen, a new silhouette has finally given her some stiff competition: the slim leg jean. It’s been called a lot of things- the stovepipe, the straight leg, the cigarette- but any way you slice it, the leg opening at the bottom is bigger than in seasons past and the length is cropped to just above the ankle. The overall look is a little more relaxed, with a nod toward the boyfriend jean, yet the cut is slim and tailored enough to keep her sleek and sexy.

Wear your slim leg denim just as you would your favorite skinny. Our favorite pairings for this season are with a tee and a blazer or with a silky cami and oversized knit cardigan. Either way, style them with a sleek boot that skims just below the hemline of your jean (the Vince Lanica boot or the rag & bone Cannon boot are our favorites for this).
