The OG Mid-Rise Skinny Jean: A Measured Comeback
The skinny jean had a moment of cultural reckoning in the early 2020s, declared dead by trend forecasters. By 2024, it was back — but with a different fit logic than its peak-2010s incarnation. The OG Mid-Rise Skinny Jean from Apple Bottoms' Latto Collection threads this needle deliberately: mid-rise rather than ultra-low (which is both more contemporary and more wearable), with a skinny leg that has enough stretch to move rather than restrict.
How to Style the OG Mid-Rise
The mid-rise cut is one of the most versatile in the skinny jean category. It sits at the natural waist or just below, creating a flattering waist definition without the muffin-top risk of lower rises. Styling options:
- Oversized tee tucked half-in: The "French tuck" — tuck the front portion, leave the back out. Works with any proportions and keeps the outfit casual but intentional.
- Cropped blazer: The structured blazer over a slim denim is perennially strong. Add a heel for evening, white sneaker for day.
- Bodysuit: A fitted bodysuit eliminates any tucking concern and creates a clean, uninterrupted line from waist to ankle.
- Oversized hoodie: The streetwear pairing — long oversized hoodie, skinny jean, chunky sneaker. The silhouette contrast between loose top and fitted bottom is the point.
The Latto Signature
Latto's personal style runs bold and unapologetic — form-fitting, high-contrast, often mixed-media. Her collaboration pieces are designed to work with that aesthetic: the OG Mid-Rise Skinny Jean is the foundation piece that the rest of the collaboration builds on top of.
