So that’s good news for all of you out there who have been dearly (and sadly) missing the skinny jeans.
There is a new skinny version out there, the 2026 version. And it’s a s skinny as it can get except for the tight tapering at the ankles.
We checked out and featured many lookbooks for this coming Spring 2026. And the other day we came across Brandon Maxwell’s Spring 26 Ready-To-Wear and …see below:

The new generation proves that slim and straight silhouettes, which still hug the leg but don’t feel quite so constricting, are the way to go. So yes, slim jeans are the evolution of skinny jeans. The idea is a more wearable fit, still sleek but more “forgiving”.
So when you go shopping for these slim jeans for Spring 2026, here are some features to watch for before taking out your credit card:
Fit: Slim through thigh, leg isn’t baggy, but not super tight. A slim-straight or slim‐taper is great.
Leg opening: Not ultra-skinny at the ankle, There should be a slight opening like you should be able to tuck your ankle booties or hi-top sneakers in,
Rise: Both, mid- or high-rise will work well; but the vintage 2000s low rises are definitely coming back as well.
Fabric: Some stretch is fine for comfort, but rigid or semi-rigid denim fabrics give a cleaner shape. Definitely avoid the wrap feel of your former skinny jeans.
Length: Slight ankle grazed or full-length with a clean break. No overlong or pooling.
