Take supermodel Kate Moss and her daughter Lila, for example. Despite their 29-year age gap, both have been spotted wearing black skinny jeans recently. Kate, who helped popularize the look in the 2000s, styles hers with a rock-and-boho vibe—think slouchy boots, oversized totes, or leather jackets with platform heels. Lila, meanwhile, channels her mom’s model-off-duty aesthetic with faded black skinnies, sleek tanks, blazers, and pointed pumps for nights out.
Even Taylor Swift has returned to skinny jeans, pairing a black pair with a red zip-up and heeled boots for a sporty-glam look at a recent event. These women prove that black skinny jeans work for every generation, from Gen X to Gen Z.
