My 60-Year-Old Mom Just Got New Skinny Jeans and Wants to Try These Outfits

As I’ve covered before, my 60-year-old mom, Nancy, is all about investing in staples to beef up the classic wardrobe she’s been honing for years. Her latest purchase? These timeless skinny jeans from Madewell. She gravitated toward this specific cut because, as she told me, “I liked the classic look and the fact that there was just enough stretch for comfort, but not too much.”

While she has a standard ensemble she tends to wear with her skinny jeans—basically a crew-neck T-shirt/knit and sneakers/ankle boots—she approached me with interest in uncovering a few fresh fits she could potentially try with her new skinny jeans this spring. Naturally, I sent her a range of forward looks from some of my favorite fashion people. What she loved about the outfits in question is that they were all seamlessly easy to put together and really could work for anyone at any age.

Interested in fresh skinny-jean 'fits as well? Keep scrolling to check out the chic outfits my mom wants to try (complete with her notes on why she’s into them). Plus, shop each look as well.

"Now this is a great everyday look. A timeless black sweater with skinny jeans is one of my go-tos, but I like how this one has the sweater slightly tucked in with another sweater on top for a cool layered look."
"I live in Wisconsin, so it's still cold outside. Therefore, I'm very into this outfit with the turtleneck (always sleek) and skinny jeans tucked into boots. I may actually try this one in the spring as well with a trench coat."
"I guess you really can't go wrong with skinny jeans, a T-shirt, and a blazer, right? Classic. I like how this look has the sweater tied off to the side as well. If I'm feeling a bit daring, I may try that too."
"I'm all about a statement jacket to make a jeans and tee outfit feel even more fashion-y."
"I tend to button my blouses all the way up, but I like how it's undone here to showcase a tee or tank. That paired with skinny jeans and my favorite little heels is great in my book."

Next, check out more 2020 trends my 60-year-old mother is eager to try.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
