Rihanna just made ‘skeans’ a thing: Here’s how to try the denim-skirt hybrid

Rihanna stepped out in Paris in the hybrid denim look, proving that sometimes the best way to wear jeans is to rethink them entirely

In Paris last night, (August 24), Rihanna stepped out after dinner at Cesar in a head-turning pair of jeans that looked like regular light-wash denim from one side, but featured a floor-length skirt-like panel on the other. Dubbed a ‘skean’, the hybrid silhouette did the talking. She kept the rest of the look low-key with a black zip-up hoodie, a leather Dior bag and Miu Miu snakeskin sneakers.

Steal the style

Want to try the denim-skirt hybrid without going full Rihanna? Here’s how to recreate the look with pieces you probably already own.

Pair jeans with a skirt: You don’t need to DIY Rihanna’s exact silhouette. Layer a straight, structured skirt over or alongside a pair of wider-leg jeans for a similar effect.

Finish with sneakers: Chunky or classic sneakers keep the look effortless and wearable.

Add the extras: Throw on a pair of glasses and leave your hair slightly messy for that undone, off-duty finish.
