High waist jeans. A fashion do or don’t? This year, according to fashion designers and celebrities like Katie Holmes and Jennifer Lopez, high waist jeans are continuing their comeback. However do high waist jeans work for every body type? And if you do decide to wear the high waist look, how do you style them without looking like you’re from 1974?
The key with high waist jeans is proportion. If you’re curvier on top or have broad shoulders, go with a flared or boot cut leg to balance your body out. If you’ve got a less curvy figure, head towards a straight or skinny leg.
To avoid going too retro when you wear high waist jeans, opt for modern styling and accessories. Pair the jeans with a simple button down (maybe plaid or a pattern if you’re feeling really funky) and tie it at the hem to emphasize the high waist of the jeans. However, a simple fitted t shirt, tucked in with a fabulous belt or statement necklace would also be a good combination.
High waist jeans are a good trend, especially if you’re bored with your denim collection. As long as you keep in mind your body shape, anyone can wear them.
