Skinny jeans are officially back, as fashion shifts away from ultra-baggy silhouettes and returns to body-skimming styles.

Two members of the Royal Family firmly backing the revival are the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex. 

Both Kate and Meghan have long championed skinny jeans, proving their enduring appeal season after season. 

Kate tends to favour classic indigo blue styles, while Meghan opts for versatile black and white pairs, as well as faded blue washes that complement her more relaxed aesthetic.  

Together, their contrasting approaches highlight just how versatile skinny jeans can be. 

Consider this your ultimate guide to Kate and Meghan’s favourite skinny jeans, with exact matches and high street alternatives to shop below. 

Kate 

She may be best known for her elegant dresses, but the Princess of Wales is equally adept at something you might not expect: denim. 

Kate owns an impressive collection of jeans, with several skinny styles in regular rotation. Her go-to look typically pairs indigo denim with trainers and a tailored blazer – often in bold shades of blue or red. 

Her wardrobe spans a wide range of brands, from high street favourite Zara to premium labels, including Paige, Frame and Mother. 

Among her most coveted pairs are the Dazzler jeans by Mother. Made in Los Angeles, they feature a flattering slim cut and a comfortable mid-rise waist. 

Kate owns the ‘Now Or Never’ dark blue wash, which has since sold out, although a similar version is still available to shop.

During a recent engagement in Scotland, Kate stepped out in a pair of chocolate brown skinny jeans, styling them with a light blue Boden shirt and a tweed Ralph Lauren blazer. 

The combination offered a fresh, modern take on classic country dressing. 

Brown skinny jeans are an easy way to update a winter wardrobe while staying on trend – and Kate’s styling proves just how versatile the shade can be.

Meghan

Like Kate, Meghan is also a devoted fan of skinny jeans. 

She famously wore a pair by Mother for her first public appearance with Prince Harry, setting the tone for her polished yet relaxed off-duty style. 

At the Invictus Games semi-final tennis match, Meghan paired light blue distressed skinny jeans with an oversized shirt, cementing her preference for elevated casualwear. 

Since then, she has consistently favoured premium denim brands, including Frame, Anine Bing, AYR and La Ligne, typically opting for classic blue, black and white washes. 

Most recently, Meghan wore a light blue version of Kate’s much-loved Dazzler jeans in her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, styling them with a sweatshirt during a gardening scene. 

A longtime skinny jeans devotee, Meghan tends to team her denim with oversized shirts and ballet flats for an effortless finish.
