Taking inspiration from the French fashion set, Meghan Markle stepped out in a quintessentially Parisian outfit this week, styling a pair of grey skinny jeans with tonal ballet flats for an evening out. Referencing an outfit combination much loved in the early 00s, Markle put a decidedly modern spin on her outfit with her chosen colour palette. Opting to style a head-to-toe look in the enduring grey colour trend, she leant into the shade for her casual night-out look.                                      Whilst the popularity of skinny jeans peaked in the 2000s and 2010s, fashion people are back in the habit of embracing them on the regular in 2024. Although we’re still coming around to them, the French never let the classic style fall out of favour. Styling them with roomy knits, smart blazers and most importantly, ballet flats, the French style set have long made the case for the return of the divisive jean.
Capable of adding a streamlined finish to an outfit in ways other denim styles simply can’t, skinny jeans are working their way back into the wardrobes of those in the know. For a spring-worthy styling twist, the French-loved ballet flat pairing compliments the polished nature of the skinny jeans, culminating a casual outfit that you could style to a myriad of occasions.
