High Waisted Jeans
It’s taken nearly 3 years for us to finally find a decent pair of low rise jeans that don’t create too much of a muffin top when we zip them up. Now the word in the fashion is…
High waisted jeans are the new thing. These jeans come well up over the tummy, right to the bottom of your rib cage. The only saving grace seems to be that they have a nice wide flared leg to balance things out a little and make your waist seem smaller.
It’s a familiar look if you grew up in the 70′s. Remember Charlie’s Angels and every girl who wore flipped up hair and platform shoes? I’ll never forget the pair of high rise blue satin pants I wore to school dances, and JoJami fondly recalls a maroon pair that she used to go disco dancing in.

Looked great then, but now?? We’ve seen lots of young celebs like Mischa Barton, Kiera Knightly and Jessica Simpson trying them out and they don’t even look so hot.
Some of you may think that high rise will might your hold your stomach in…but only to a point. The problem is that to pull this look off, you have to tuck the shirt in, YIKES! No good for 40+ women with mommy tummies.
We have found that the best way for us gals to wear this look, is to modify it. If you can find a find wide legged pants with a mid high waist, great. Pair them with a form fitting top that can be left out and you will have a great updated look.
If you want to experiment a little with this look, the flat front nautical look is really cute.
Make sure that if you have big hips, that there are no big pockets on front of the pants to draw attention to them. If they do, and you really like the pants, you can also have the pockets taken out.
The wider the flare, the taller you need to be, and you may have to add a big wedge shoe so you don’t look like a short wide traingle.
The bottom line is: THIS STYLE IS HARD TO WEAR, SO BEWARE of this fashion trend!
I know that all trends in fashion come back around. Some we are really glad to see again and others are better left behind. I sometimes like a wide leg pant because they can be really slimming and flattering but I have to agree that the high waist just looks like the poor old guy who wears his dark socks and shorts with the waist band up under his chin!
I think high-waisted pants almost inevitably make a person look odd.
All hail the high(er)-waisted straight leg jean. Finally, a style that I can wear that doesn’t leave a gap at my waist large enough to hold a small child, koala-bear style
I have hips – not gigantic, but I had a baby, so there are hips. And, I have a long, relatively small waist and short legs. So, low rise jeans made me look like a garden gnome. NOT attractive at all…
no way are the high waisted pants ever gonna come back in style if they do ill die of shock.
I am not a fan of either high waist,( unless one is tall and has a long torso they can be unflattering), or a very low rise,(ugh!).
I find the best fit with a moderate rise with a slight contour to the waistband which enables me to sit without exposing myself and can actually make my bum look a bit smaller. Unfortunately, this is very hard to find now.
I have to disagree!! I love high waisted pants. On women with short legs and long torso’s, with balanced proportions and a flat stomach. Very sexy. And, if they fit right they can act as one big girdle!!
We will see. Hey, they were hot on the girls in high school who laid on the bed with a pliers to zip them up. BAM!
More than in any other country, the USA’s market commerce structure tends to sell the same things everywhere. When it comes to clothing, the result is that everyone tends to dress equally, wearing always the same brands. As a consequence, the fashion trends usually fit the average person, and therefore are normally traditional and conservative. Nobody can deny that every woman in the world wants to be unique.
Brazilian Jeans are considered to be the sexiest jeans on the planet. They clearly back this statement since they were designed with women body in mind. They are made of a higher quality of denim, a brazilian knit of intricate cotton and lycra. This knit is what gives you that curve-hugging fit making them incredibly perfect. They will adjust to your curves and not only show them, but also enhance them. The phrase “brazilian Jeans” is synonymous with low cut jeans. You will find pairs with rises from 4 inches to 8. You will find it difficult to find a higher rise in brazilian jeans, since they are jeans to show off your assets. They will make you feel your best as a woman.
Brazilian women are known for being very sexy. With a closer look you will see that in fact, they are no sexier than any other woman could potentially be. The real fact is that they “look sexy”, or in other words, they DRESS SEXY.
I finally found a place where I can buy brazilian style jeans at an affordable price, here in US. Check it out! http://www.bestbrazilianjeans.com
Yeah! Jeans that cover everything up are coming back – Huzzah! No – the seventies heels and flares look doesn’t work unless you’re tall and skinny. Eighties style jeans – that’s what we want. Taylored round the dodge hip/tummy region and baggy in the leg. Flatters everyone and better still comfy – very comfy! For the last fifteen-twenty years I’ve been doing my nut trying to find ‘proper’ jeans – to no avail! Please, please let them be coming back in!
