High-waisted pants have come a long way from their humble beginnings during the ’70s hippie era. These high rise style pants used to be exclusive to school nerds and hippies. Now, they are all over the fashion runway and casual street fashion.
Whether you are a casual bohemian girl or a preppy modern-chic, a pair of nice high-waisted pants should be your wardrobe staple. High-waisted skinny jeans, in particular, have been extremely comfortable and flattering to wear. They can be dressed up with a nice dress shirt or dressed down with a flowy crop top. You can play around with many different styles by pairing them with a pair of high-waisted pants. The Fashionista I found pulled off her pair of black high rise jeans by adding a quirky twist.
She wore an oversized baby blue and white checked collared shirt over her pair of black high-waisted skinny jeans. In order to avoid an overly slouchy look, she tucked the shirt in her jeans for a more polished look. She also left a few of her top buttons open to give the outfit a casual vibe. As for her shoes, she opted for a pair of dark gray sneakers to match her jeans. In order to add a little bit of quirk, she threw on a statement galaxy backpack for an extra umph.
If you are looking for new ways to pair your favorite pair of high-waisted jeans, try tucking in a slouchy dress shirt for a casual but polished look.
