The Princess of Wales has had a love affair with skinny jeans for the entire duration of time she's been a working royal, and we love her for it.
Although many fashion experts have claimed the mighty skinny has had his day, the Princess is the best advert as to why they most certainly have not; she even gave them earlier this year, and fashion fans rejoiced. (More on that later.)
We've just unearthed this incredible snap of the then Duchess of Cambridge in 2012, and she is the best advert as to why skinny jeans are still the ideal denim to wear with heels. The royal was married alongside husband Prince William and brother-in-law Prince Harry, as they waited for the arrival of the Olympic Flame before a torch relay at Buckingham Palace, ahead of the Olympics that year.

Kate's dark denim jeans were shapely yet chic, and she teamed them with a branded Olympic polo top and wedged black high heels. So glamorous! This is the best way to wear skinny jeans if you have an impending night out in the diary. By adding heels, you are elevating any denim look and giving it a chic kick, just like Kate.

In April, Kate shared a short film on her and her husband Prince William's Instagram account, which was shot during a previous stay in the Lake District.

After seeing the mother-of-three team them expertly with different textures for a casual look, we don't think this style of jeans is going anywhere, somehow!
