Ask BB: Where to Buy Black Skinny Jeans on a Budget


Isla Fisher, Taylor Momsen and Sienna Miller show us three ways to wear black skinny jeans.

I saw a girl with the most fantastic black skinny jeans imaginable and I haven't stopped thinking about them! Could you suggest any brands that make a sophisticated black pant that would look great tucked into boots or worn with flats? —LR

Black jeans combine the versatility of black pants with the comfort, durability and great fit of your favorite pair of blue jeans. If you wear jeans a lot, you should definitely consider adding a black pair of skinnies to your arsenal! And of course, you don't have to spend a ton to find a great pair. Since black denim is so popular right now, I'd suggest beginning your search wherever you buy your other jeans. Personally I own these black denim leggings from Asos.com and a pair of black straight-leg jeans that I picked up at Forever 21. I love that you can dress them up or down, and the fact that you can wear them with a blue jean jacket (because we all know you can't wear a blue jean jacket with blue jeans).

I LOVE what Isla Fisher is wearing? Can you help simulate the look? Her jacket is gorgeous!

Pacsun is always having 2 for $50 sales, so when you go, you can pick up a pair of black and dark, grey, whatever skinny jeans too. I wouldn't recommend buying jeans (or shoes for that matter) online, as sizes can fit differently for some brands. It's better to just go into the store and try it on yourself.

H&M has my favorites, $20 for a pair of dark skinnies.

I found a great pair of black skinny pants at Target for around $20. I like them because they are not jean material, so I can dress them up more and wear them to work!

^^Chantal and I have had the same experience apparently. My black skinnies are from Target as well, $20 in the juniors section. I wear a size 2 in Gap jeans and these are a size 7 from Target, but they definitely work and I get TONS of compliments.

I just bought a fabulous pair of black denim skinnies at Old Navy. I've been loving their denim skinny lines (Diva & Sweetheart) because they have just the right amount of stretch for my pear share. They are also very inexpensive. I just paid $25 for a pair.

I also got mine at Forever 21,they where like 17.00 dollars I think, and I LOVE them. They look fantastic and fit great. Probably my favorite pair of jeans. I get away wearing them to work as well, the denim is very dark and very soft.
