Are Suddenly Being Worn by the Coolest People Again

Almost out of nowhere, one of fashion's most divisive items has started making its way back onto the scene.  

Once dismissed as "dated" and "unflattering," skinny jeans had been relegated to the backs of wardrobes for years as baggy and straight-leg styles thrived instead. But now, slowly but surely, skinny jeans are creeping back onto our radars, and there's one particular shoe pairing that fashion people are wearing them with. In the early '00s, we'd wear our skinny jeans with either platform heels, ballet flats or ankle boots, and interestingly, it's ballet flats that have returned alongside slim-fitting jeans, looking surprisingly chic in the process.

Somehow both nostalgic and modern, this "dated" pairing combines the elegance of streamlined skinny jeans with the delicate shape of ballet flats to create a particularly polished silhouette. Nodding towards Y2K nostalgia whilst tapping into today's preference for minimalism and a sleek aesthetic, it's really no surprise that the trend has come back around this season.

My Note: Amazon - Shupua Women's Comfortable Dress Shoes Ballet Flats Slip On Shoes Black Flats Round Toe PU Leather Flats Summer with Floral Eyelets

I love these. Just right amount of Feminine Differential with the eyelets and amazingly comfortable with a padded insole. They come in several colors and only $23.99. I was wondering if these were an OK look with my many skinny jeans so, "Ask and Answered".
