Many women automatically turn their head at the thought of wearing high-waisted jeans. After all, these jeans are commonly associated with the late 80s style that’s long gone by now. While they were certainly popular during this time period, high-waisted jeans are seeing a comeback throughout the country with women of all ages choosing to wear them. They create a unique appearance that gives your outfit a stylish edge, setting you apart from the rest. If you are interested in wearing them, keep reading and we’ll reveal some tips for making your high-waisted jeans look the best.
Generally speaking, high-wasited jeans work best on tall women with flat stomachs. Because they sit much higher than regular jeans, they can be somewhat uncomfortable unless they fit just right. For this reason, it’s recommended that you take the time to try on several pairs of high-waisted jeans to find the ones designed for your body shape. Chances are you’ll have to wear a size or two larger than what you normally wear in pants or jeans, but this is necessary to allow the jeans to sit higher up around your waist.
You’ll want to pay close attention to the footwear worn with high-waisted jeans. Typically, these jeans come up to around the ankle area, leaving portions of the feet exposed. This can either be a good or bad thing depending on your footwear. So, what types of shoes should you wear with high-waisted jeans? Contrary to what some women may believe, you can wear just about any type of footwear, including high-heeled shoes, ballet flats, open-toes heels, sandals and even boat shoes. With that said, the key thing to remember is that your footwear needs to flow cohesively with the rest of your outfit (jeans included). Don’t be afraid to wear bold colored shoes to give your outfit a vibrant appearance. As long as matches and flows with the rest of your clothes, it’s a suitable choice to wear.
Something else you’ll want to be aware of when wearing high-waisted jeans is how tight they fit. It’s a common mistake for women to choose jeans that fit too tight; therefore, taking away from their natural beauty. It may not seem like an issue at first, but after washing the jeans a couple of times, you might be forced to retire them due to them no longer fitting. When you are shopping for high-waisted jeans, try to find ones that have a little bit of “give” room in them. In addition, you should consider either line-drying them or using a sweater dryer to help reduce the chance of shrinkage.
