Skinny pants refer to a type of tight-fitting trousers that are narrow in cut and fit closely to the legs. They can be made from various materials such as denim, leather or even knitted fabrics, and come in different styles including bootcut, straight leg or flared. Skinny pants have been a popular fashion item for both men and women since the early 2010s, characterized by their slimming effect on the wearer's legs. They can be dressed up with heels and a blouse for a chic look or worn casually with sneakers and a sweater.
