It Has to Fit Perfectly

When buying high-waisted jeans, you should pick your exact size. Well, if it’s too small, you might end up with a camel toe. Too big and your high waisted pants are essentially just mom jeans that will make your bum look as big and as flat as dinner plates.

Wear at Your Natural Waist

High-waisted jeans come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Which one is the right one for your body shape? Wearing high-waisted jeans at your natural waistline, the narrowest part of the torso is where high waisted pants would look most flattering. Give yourself that hourglass shape and cinch that waist!

Wear with a Tucked-In Top

The high-waisted jeans can't be covered by a long top so tucking this top into the waistline of your jeans will keep the focus on your feminine figure. Whether it’s a long-sleeve top or a buttoned plaid top, don’t think twice just tuck it into your jeans. Layer a blazer over the top and add a cute belt into the mix to dress up your ensemble. Add a blazer and high heels, for a more formal look.

Wear With Crop Tops

We all love our crop tops but worry about our overly exposed tummy. High waisted jeans are the perfect fashion match for a crop top. The higher waistline of the pants reveals just an inch or two of skin at the middle, making this outfit wearable for all figures. Pairing a crop top and high-waisted jeans can give you a more balanced look, and even make your legs seem longer.

Wear with Long Jackets

Play with proportions and wear your high waisted pants with a long jacket. Chose an oversized blazer, jacket or cardigan that hits low on the hips. Avoid short, bulky jackets as they create a boxy shape and make the waist look wider.
