Now that baggy pants reign supreme, skinnies can get cast to the wayside. They might not be the most popular style out there, but that doesn’t mean you should banish them from your closet altogether. Au contraire! Even Elsa Hosk just proved, extra-slim pants can look thoroughly modern.

While Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton prefer to style skinnies with riding bootsHosk decided to take a fancier approach. In a new mirror selfie, she wore ACNE Studios Checked Wool-Blend Slim Pants ($700) with a Helsa jacket, pointy-toe pumps, and a bucket bag.
