Jeans 101: The High-Waist

Jennifer Lopez arriving at the MTV Studios in New York City on March 27, 2007.
Ciara hosts MTV's "TRL" at the MTV Studios in New York City on March 5, 2007.
Jessica Alba backstage at Power 106's breakfast with Big Boy and the cast of "Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer" on June 4, 2007.Get the exact pair Jessica is wearing from www.shopintuition.com (see below).
Eve spotted in New York City last month.

This trend has me somewhat perplexed. At first I was a complete non-believer, but then I saw Jlo work her style magic outside the TRL studios, I quickly changed my opinion to “neutral.” Oh but soon thereafter Eve surfaced with these ultra high-waisted pair sending me right back into denim-induced anxiety. Now, having watched the jeans evolve and merge with other trends such as the wide-legged pant (see Jessica Alba and Ciara), I’m safely back in style bliss and even considering buying a pair of these controversial jeans. Watch this space.

    I'm sorry but I can't get with the high waisted jeans. Too scary. They look like "Mom Jeans."

    I don't think everyone can wear these jeans. Even the ones Eve is wearing give her a little penis pouch lol. They really have to fit well, and it seems like it fits people who are less hippy better. Like this would not be a good look for Beyonce at all, but I think it works better for Ciara.

    now that I think about it, high waist jeans do have a strong resemblance to mom jeans *giggles* I'll stick with my regular pair of jeans

  8. plus you'd look better in them if you have shapely hips.

  9. I was sitting here emailing and my mom goes, "They just said on TV that high-waisted jeans are back in style!" and I said to her, "No thank you. I'm not wearing them." I agree with the mom jeans comment. Although some of these girls in those pictures look cute in them... they're not curvy like I am. They're thin little things who can pull off just about anything. Well.. Ciara can. I'm really not sure about the rest of those girls, just because the way they're wearing them (the tops). If, like octoberwildchild said, you do the frilly blouse and heels, you may be able to pull it off. But for me, I just can't do it. I just can't get into liking the style. Too mommy looking.

    As far as Eve is concerned... I have never seen fabric capable of making a good-looking woman look so incredibly terrible!

    I think that high waisted jeans are really cute on anyone if you know how to style them. If you find the right shirt and get them to fit well, then go ahead and wear them. Eve's do look a little funny but i ABSOLUTELY love the ones Jessica is wearing. They are really cute and even I would wear them. So yeah....High waisted jeans is definately a style I would consider...
