Skinny jeans are simply jeans with straight legs. The ankles are skinny to varying degrees; Kate Moss-types can rock the peg-leg at 10 inches around, but a more straight-leg 14- to 16-inch perimeter achieves the look just as well. And with just about every designer denim line producing a skinny jean, there's no acceptable reason to wear those so-five-years-ago boot cuts ever again. At least not until they come back into favor.
