Wanting new ideas to style high waisted jeans outfits? We have trawled the fashion blogosphere to bring you inspiring classic, casual, sexy and chic alternatives for your next look.
Once the subject of much ridicule, the notorious mom jean has re-emerged over the last few years to become one of the hottest looks around. Plucked straight out of the 90s, the high waisted silhouette is more popular now than ever before. Don’t be fooled into thinking that this style is stuck in its former heyday, fashionistas have taken the cut and modernised into one seriously hot ticket item.
Given the hideous overtones that arise when you think of the term mom-jeans, great styling is key. Begin by buying a brand new pair of high-waisted jeans from the high street or designer boutique. Alternatively, add your own personal twist to a vintage pair of jeans, found in your mother’s wardrobe or Oxfam. To create a contemporary look, pair your high-waisted jeans with a great top, or shirt, to make you outfit causal, edgy, classic or chic.
- When choosing shirts consider pinstripes, classic cotton or linen, soft georgettes, buttoned through the front and easy to tuck into high-waisted jeans
- Consider midriff tops that meet your jeans at the waist to create a fresh and sexy look
- Wear vests, coats and blazers to add layers to your look.
- Think about pairing your high-waisted jeans with bodysuits, tanks and camisoles to create a slender silhouette for your outfit
- Slip on some gold sneakers for a casual look, or a fringed stiletto to add sophistication
- Play with different washes – dark, light, black or distressed. Try denim on denim- all one colour or mix and match shades
- Match tight jeans with the classic white Tee for a casual look

When To Wear High Waisted Jeans
