How to Style High-Waisted Pants?

by XiaoBo 30 Jul 2024

Pants on the waist - a fashionable trend, which successfully occupies not only hangers in stores but also shelves in the closets of girls. Pants on the waist emphasize the shape of the hips, leg curves, and calves, visually lengthening the legs. In addition, they are warmer than low-slung pants.

If the blue color of pants has somehow been in fashion for the last few decades, with the style of pants everything was quite different. Changing from extreme low rise to high waisted, from skinnies to flared pants, each decade new pants have completely supplanted the previous ones. Waist pants have been popular before, periodically coming back into fashion. Buying them now, it is worth comparing modern models with models of the 80's, so as not to accidentally create a carnival image.

The History of High-Waisted Pants

Now many women wear high-waisted pants, but this phenomenon in fashion is not only for women, and appeared long ago. Harem pants worn by men in the East hundreds, if not thousands of years ago were often held at the waist. In a less distant history, Western men (especially Americans) in the 1940s began wearing long jackets with pleated waist-hugging pants narrowed down to the waist. Such a suit would come to be known as the zoot suit.

During World War II, women, in the absence of their husbands, had to take on many of the household chores and become more independent. They worked in pants, as this clothing is more comfortable than a skirt or dress, and pants were sewn at the waist not for fashion reasons, but for modesty. Low-fitting pants that exposed the waistband were unacceptable. In the 1970s, high-waisted pants reappeared and became very common. At this time, women wore loose pants, gathering them with a belt at the waist, with a small piece of fabric left over the waistband. Such an outfit was nicknamed the“paper bag”.

In the 1990s and 2000s, the pant legs got wider and the top line of the pants gradually came down to sit on the hips. At a certain point in the 2000s, jeans began to sit so low that when a girl sat down, people in the back had a view of her lower back. A few years after that low point, the waistline of jeans crept up again. The new high-waisted pants are certainly different from what used to be in vogue. They incorporate a variety of colors and leg girth widths, but the look either way turns out to be fresh and different from the fads of the 80s.

High-waisted pants usually have a regular waistband line just above the navel, but the distance between the waistband and the crotch is longer than usual.

High-waisted pants have their style, and the regular waistline is replaced with various design features: for example, a vertical line of buttons or a corset.

High-waisted pants sit a few centimeters above the navel, above the rib line.

High-waisted pants make a woman very attractive with the right type of figure, but unfortunately, they do not suit everyone. Many women are better off staying away from this style.

Women with big breasts are not recommended to wear such pants, as it will give the impression that their breasts are right above the waist. Miniature women often do not have a long enough torso to wear high-waisted pants for the same reason. This can make them look chunky even when they are not. If a stunted woman has a long body compared to her legs, such jeans will emphasize the disproportion and visually reduce the height even more. High-fitting jeans draw attention to the waist and abdomen, so if a girl has a full belly, she would conversely want to hide it. However, in this case, tightening underwear will be suitable.

Like most unusual trends, high-waisted pants will look best on women of medium to tall stature with a trim figure. Women of medium and tall height, even if their legs are not very long, can wear such jeans, because in this case, they will visually increase the length of the legs. This style of jeans very brightly marks your dignity, curves, and muscles, but will also emphasize the fullness, if there is one.

For these reasons, deciding to buy jeans on the waist, you need to be very confident in your body.
