Well never say never, I kept these grey corduroy skinnies in my holding zone for the last few years, and today I decided to pull them out again and try to revive them for winter wear in 2025/2026.
These skinnies were bought at the tail end of the skinny jeans trend. I wasn't really a big fan of skinnies but I eventually relented. This pair is actually quite comfortable and warm to wear in the cold winter months. Sadly, they saw very little use once jean trends started going wider but I just couldn't seem to let them go as they were nice quality and in a hard to find colour particularly in corduroy.
Funny enough, I now find them kind of a nice change of pace from my usual wide-legs and barrels which aren't the most practical to wear during the winter months. There's often cold, snowy wind drafts or slushy roads where I live.
My 2025/26 version has these skinnies tucked into a somewhat taller boot, it just feels like a slightly more updated way for me to wear them out and about right now. Added the Columbia 3/4 zip fleece top for a little punch of colour and pattern, finished with my trusty burgundy mid-thigh puffer and a wool tuque .
Are any of you still holding onto to skinnies?
