When & How To Wear High-Waisted Jeans
I love high-waisted jeans! They’re flattering, comfortable, and they can look so stylish if worn just right. It’s what they call a ‘tricky trend’ because it can walk a fine line between trendy and nerd-chic or ‘mom jeans.’ It’s different than a high-waisted skirt, which I find an easy style to wear. The high-waist cut just seems natural for a skirt, while with jeans, we’re used to a lower cut.
So today, I’m going to walk you through everything you need to know about this trendy style; when and how to wear high-waisted jeans.
When To Wear:
– To show off a great belt!
– To offer more coverage when wearing a crop top
– To elongate your legs and silhouette
How To Wear:
There are a few really fabulous ways to style a pair of high-waisted jeans. Here’s 3 stylish ideas of how to rock it!
1- Like a Jumpsuit:
If you have a really fabulous thick belt you want to show off, try a white on white or chambray on chambray look. The belt will break it up so it works and you’ll give off the illusion of a trendy jumpsuit using what you already have in your closet.
2- With a Crop Top:
If you’re a twenty-something or don’t have the body of a twelve-year-old, a pair of high-waisted jeans makes it possible to wear a crop top with style! It gives you that layered look and brings your waist-line higher, which in turn elongates your legs. And since I’m 5’0, I could use all of the elongating I can get!
3- With a Long Kimono or Duster:
Long vests, kimonos, and dusters are so popular right now! Throwing a pair of high-waisted jeans into the mix will give that already trendy style a very chic silhouette.
