Skinny jeans are simply jeans with straight legs. The ankles are skinny to varying degrees; Kate Moss-types can rock the peg-leg at 10 inches around, but a more straight-leg 14- to 16-inch perimeter achieves the look just as well. And with just about every designer denim line producing a skinny jean, there's no acceptable reason to wear those so-five-years-ago boot cuts ever again. At least not until they come back into favor.

Hike of the Week
The Wonderland Trail is about 92 miles long with an accumulated elevation gain of 22,786 feet. Many hikers do a stretch at a time, and this hiker had unfinished business with Summerland.
Earlier this year, snow stopped me and I had to call it quits at Fryingpan Creek, a mile short of Summerland. We returned in August, determined to get to Summerland via the Wonderland Trail. The route is justifiably one of the most beautiful hikes in Mount Rainier National Park, and a sunny day in August guaranteed success.
