How to wear high-waisted jeans
updated the 20 December 2014 à 00:43Question from Annabelle,36, Bordeaux, France: “I have noticed that high-waisted jeans are back in trend, but how do I wear them and where can I find good ones?”
Marie France answers:
Indeed high-waisted jeans are back in trend and although a little tricky, we love the chic vibe they give our denim so we say give it a try!
The trick is to not go overboard. You don’t have to wear the ones that go all the way up right under your chest, nor the exaggerated wide-legged cut. Just pick a pair with a moderately flared bottom and take note of the fit; the fit is the most important!
Wear it preferably with heels to lengthen your silhouette or try wedge sandals under the jeans for a more modern take on the seventies look.
High-waisted jeans can be very elegant teamed with a crisp white shirt and a pair of stilettos. Just beware of accessorizing too much to avoid ending up looking old-fashioned.
To find the right models, we recommend Levi’s or Diesel.
