I have only recently succumbed to the benefits of black skinny jeans – they’re slimming, go with everything and a little bit smarter than stonewash. This makes them my new BFF. And now I’m on the hunt for the perfect ripped pair.

I’ve always thought they were a bit ‘young’ before but I think there’s a way to style them in a chic way – mainly by pairing them with black and camel.
And at £32, I think I’m in love…

I’ve actually tried out a pair of ‘Ridley’ jeans before, see the post here. They’re super skinny and this pair are high waisted, too (so no unsightly bulges). Oh, and the Dune slip-ons are back in stock, too!

I’m also thinking they’ll go nicely with the Bella Freud sweater I am FINALLY going to get my hands on for my birthday later this month (only 10 years of dreaming):

Love black jeans with skater shoes and black Birkenstocks, a great understated, chic look. I am about to take the grater to my black skinnies x
That is going to be such a wonderful pairing – the jeans with the Bella Freud. Can I tell you now, I may just be a little jealous of that particular acquisition!
I know this will make me sound like a 30 year old going on 70, but I still can't bring myself to buy clothes with holes in them already! Love that sweater though.
I know….! I was going to mention this point…I always think it's contrived (a bit like hats) but then other people always look cool in them and I can NEVER do these rips myself…so I've gone with it
A slogan jumper – your dream! 😉 x
Good luck! I've never quite managed to be able to do rips myself….
Love this look! At 46 I will trying it too! Got my shredded blue jeans on today with skater shoes….feel so much younger! Hx
Sorry but I'm with Styloclay on the ripped jeans! I love the Dune slip ons though.
Je t'aime! Will you go for Allen or Jane? Such a classic. Our day has come around so fast! @sophieosborne1 xx
I cannot wait for you to get the Bella Freud sweater. The stuff ALL of the dreams are made of truly xxxxx
I've got with Allen….I though Jane was too comparable with alexa Chung (and I don't want to even try and go there!)…but the Allen has Kate moss link so it's a lose lose situ, I suppose!
