Highlight the Best of Your Body in High-Waisted Pants

Universally flattering high-waisted pants have surpassed their retro reputation and become must-have bottoms for the modern day woman. The silhouette whittles waists and elongates legs, bringing out the best of all bodies — tall or short, thick or thin.

Get the most of the high-waisted pant with guidelines on finding a pair perfect for you.

Waist Specific

The name should speak for itself, but not all high-waisted pants are going to hit your natural waistline. Make sure to go for a pair that hits 4-5 inches below the bust line in order to best show off your shape.

Leg Cut

Since you know where on your torso a high-waisted pant should fit, move south and focus on the fit of the leg. Flared, straight leg or skinny, the style can impact how the pants fit your frame. Draw attention to bodacious curves with a pant that complements your body in a wide-leg silhouette. If you’re body is less curvy, wear a tapered pant.

Pocket Style

Pocket shape and size can impact how well high-waisted pants fit and flatter. Typical diagonal pockets draw less attention to your hips, whereas rectangular patch pockets draw eyes to the widest part of your torso.

Top Off

You have the chance to wear your favorite tops and create different silhouettes with a high waistline. Take advantage of the cut and pair high-waisted pants with crop tops or bandeaus. Or if you love the look of a tucked in T-shirt, these are the pants that are worth tucking for.

Make the most of your lower half in pants that will always do you justice. It’s time for a new fashion high.
