HOW TO FIND YOUR PERFECT SKINNY JEANS

What are skinny jeans?

Skinny jeans are fitted from the hip all the way to the ankle, with plenty of stretch so they move with you. They're the easiest jeans to wear with boots, longer tops and knits, and they're still a wardrobe staple for Kiwi women.

High rise skinny jeans

A high rise sits at or above the belly button. It holds in the tummy, smooths the line under your top and makes your legs look longer. It's the most popular rise for skinny jeans and the best choice if you like to tuck in.

Mid rise skinny jeans

A mid rise sits just below the belly button for a relaxed, comfortable fit. It looks great with a longer top or tunic worn out.

Skinny vs super skinny

Skinny jeans are fitted but comfortable. Super skinny jeans are the closest fit of all, with lots of stretch for a second-skin feel. Prefer a little more room? Try our slim jeans, which skim your shape without being skin-tight.

Full length, ankle and cropped

Full length skinny jeans finish at the ankle bone and tuck neatly into long boots. Ankle skinny jeans finish just above it, which is ideal if you're petite. Cropped or 7/8 skinny jeans finish above the ankle and look great with sandals and sneakers in summer.

Choosing your wash

Black skinny jeans are the easiest to wear with everything and dress up in a flash. Dark indigo looks polished for work, mid blue is the everyday favourite, and white skinny jeans feel fresh for warmer Kiwi days.

Stretch and recovery

Good skinny jeans have plenty of stretch and good recovery, so they hug your shape and bounce back instead of bagging at the knee. Want no zip at all? Try our stretch waist jeans or pull-on styles.

Skinny jeans vs other fits

Tapered and slim jeans have more room through the hip and thigh. Straight leg jeans are the same width at the knee and the hem. Wide leg and barrel leg jeans have volume through the leg. Love the shape in a softer fabric? Shop our skinny pants.

Skinny jeans in sizes 16–22

Skinny jeans can be super comfortable on curvier figures when you choose the right pair. Look for a high rise with a wide waistband for tummy support, and a thicker denim with good stretch that smooths rather than clings. Pair them with a longer top or tunic to balance your shape. Every Preen style comes in sizes 8 to 22.

STYLING IDEAS FROM YOUR PREEN STYLE SISTERS

Skinny jeans are the ultimate go-with-everything denim. In winter, tuck black skinny jeans into long boots with a longline knit and a scarf. For work, pair dark skinny jeans with a tunic or a statement top, a blazer and ankle boots or loafers. For weekends, try mid blue skinny jeans with a relaxed shirt and sneakers. In summer, go cropped with a printed top and sandals. Finish every look with the right shoes. Want a different shape? Compare tapered and slim, straight leg and all women’s jeans.

SKINNY JEANS FAQS

Are skinny jeans still in style?

Yes. Skinny jeans are a wardrobe staple that never goes away, especially for wearing with boots, longer tops and knits. Relaxed shapes like wide leg and barrel leg jeans are big right now too, so it's all about wearing what you love.

How should skinny jeans fit?

They should fit snugly from hip to ankle without pulling across the front or bagging at the knee. The waist shouldn't gape at the back, and you should be able to sit and bend comfortably.

What size skinny jeans should I buy?

Preen jeans come in NZ sizes 8 to 22, so you can shop your usual dress size. Stretch denim relaxes a little as you wear it, so a snug but comfortable fit is right. If you're between sizes, choose the size that fits your waist without digging in.

What's the difference between skinny and slim jeans?

Skinny jeans are fitted from hip to ankle with lots of stretch. Slim jeans follow your shape with a little more room, so they feel less clingy.

What's the difference between skinny and super skinny jeans?

Super skinny jeans are an even closer fit, with more stretch for a second-skin feel. Skinny jeans are fitted but with a touch more ease.

Do skinny jeans suit curvy women?

Yes. Choose a high rise, a dark or black wash and a thicker stretch denim that smooths your shape. Balance them with a longer top, tunic or open cardigan.

Do skinny jeans suit petite women?

Yes! Skinny jeans won't swamp a smaller frame. Choose a high rise and an ankle length so you don't have extra fabric bunching at the hem.

What tops go with skinny jeans?

Skinny jeans are made for longer tops. Try a tunic, a longline knit, a relaxed shirt or a printed top, and add a blazer or long cardigan for a polished finish.

What shoes go with skinny jeans?

Long boots and ankle boots are a perfect match in winter. In summer, try sandals, ballet flats, loafers or sneakers with cropped or ankle skinny jeans. Find your pair in our shoe range.

Why do my skinny jeans go baggy at the knee?

That's usually denim with lots of stretch but not enough recovery. Choose a denim that bounces back, wash inside out in cold water and line dry to help them keep their shape.

Can I try skinny jeans on in store?

Yes! Visit us in Timaru, Ashburton or Oamaru and our style sisters will help you find your perfect fit. They'll pull a few styles, rises and sizes for you to compare.

What if they don't fit?

No stress. We offer full money back returns, even on sale. See our returns policy, or pop into one of our stores and we'll help you swap sizes or find a better fit.
