Like many typical Americans during the Thanksgiving weekend, I shopped Black Friday deals and watched football. Despite being a high school cheerleader, it’s not the sport for me—except for those Taylor Swift cameos that make it all worthwhile.
Supporting Travis Kelce, Swift attended the Las Vegas Raiders versus Kansas City Chiefs game alongside Donna Kelce. The Eras Tour singer wore a laid-back ‘fit reminiscent of her 2014 aesthetic—and I’m not mad about it.
Not only was 2014 the year Swift moved to the Big Apple (and inspired me to do the same in 2022), but it was also the year she made a case for skinny jeans. A decade later, and she’s still pulling them out of the depths of her closet, proving they’re just as chic. It makes sense, since the bottoms secretly elongated her legs, making for one heck of a flattering silhouette.
Paige Gemma Black Fog Luxe Coating Skinny Jeans
This time around, Swift reached for an all-black denim pair from Paige (a.k.a., the same label Meghan Markle and Jennifer Garner can’t get enough of). The Gemma Black Fog Luxe Coating Skinny Jean boasts a sexy leather-like finish, ankle length, and mid-rise waistline. During Cyber Monday weekend, the bottoms are on sale for $174—a whopping 30 percent off—once added to your cart.
Silver Jeans Co. Isbister Skinny Pants
If that’s a bit steep, consider the Silver Jeans Co. Isbister Skinny Pants, which are just $66 at Nordstrom. Or, take advantage of Amazon's wickedly fast Prime shipping by securing the Hudson Barbara High-Rise Skinny Jeans for 57 percent off and Joe’s Charlie Ankle Jeans, which shoppers call the “best fitting jeans ever.”

Thanks to the shiny finish, you can dress your new bottoms up or down. Swift went the casual (yet expensive) route by throwing on Alaia Trekk boots, Dana Rebecca diamond earrings, a Versace shoulder bag, and Louis Vuitton cashmere sweater.
Banana Republic Cashmere Cropped Rugby Sweater Polo
Banana Republic’s cropped cashmere sweater is perfect for stealing her cozy yet refined look, while the Old Navy teddy jacket is great for wearing by the fire. No matter which one you choose, the festive color will fall in line with an array of holiday looks. Simply choose the version that fits with your lifestyle.

Keep scrolling for more festive sweaters and coated skinny jeans to make like Swift. The leg-hugging denim is definitely not outdated or solely reserved for the millennials in your life. (You hear that, Gen Z?)
