Fashion and High-Waisted Jeans
Once you take the step and buy those high-waisted jeans, don't cover them up with a long blouse or shirt. High waisted jeans are made to be worn with your shirt tucked in. Make sure your tops and your footwear complement the high-waisted style of your pants.
Tops to Wear With High-Waist Jeans
Choose a trendy top to complement your high-waist look. A blouse with billowy sleeves accentuates the waistline giving you a longer, leaner look. Other ideas include:
- Cropped sweater
- Double-breasted jacket over your tucked-in top
- A top with a full sleeve that is very wide at the armhole and narrow at the wrist.
- A batwing blouse
- Vintage t-shirt with a blazer
Footwear
Try wearing a boot or shoe with a heel or platform. High-waisted jeans look best with a higher heel, which gives you that long lean look. To mix up your look choose a pair of sexy pumps or ankle boots.
Flattering Jeans for All Body Types
Picking out flattering jeans is difficult for most women, regardless of their body type. High-waisted jeans may be the perfect solution to your plus size jeans problems. Give them a try and see if they are the right cut for your body.
