I have discovered something magical. High waisted pants are magic. Every single time I swap out a pair of low slung jeans for a high rise pair I feel like Sandra Dee at the end of Grease (aka amazing). No muffin top, no wondering if bending over is going to show more than I bargained for, and no pants that I can remove without undoing the zipper. (What is that? Whatever it is, I don't want it. If this makes me old then pass me something to cross stitch.)
Here are some of my favorite finds under $40 (most under $30):
1 - Black High Waisted Denim Legging | 2 - Grey Brooke High Waisted Jegging (on sale!)
3 - Street Denim Tube Pant (more than half off!) | 4 - Ripped High Waisted Denim Legging
5 - Skinny High Jeans | 6 - High Rise Skinny Jeans
I can personally vouch for #1, #4, & #7 because I own them and love them - like, try to convince all my friends to buy them, love them.
So am I crazy? Or are you loving high waist pants too?
Amen!! I bought a pair of high waisted pants after my son was born a couple of years ago and a few more since then and I'm never turning back. I'm sure that makes me old, but I feel so much more comfortable in them and I think they flatter the love-handle section. Shade clothing (RIP) had such great high waist legging jeans. I'll have to check out your suggestions.
ReplyDeleteI probably wouldn't care so much if I hadn't had two kids, but I still feel really feminine in them. Maybe it's the extra waist definition?
DeleteI don't own any but I love the high-waisted look. I'll have to get my butt to a Target to try some out. Thanks fir the recommendations!
ReplyDeleteYou won't regret it!
DeleteI would love to find a few good pairs of high-waisted jeans. Have you seen any good options that aren't skinny/jeggings? I'd love to see some straight-legged or trouser jean options in a high waist. They are much more flattering on me!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any recently but I am sure there are a few good pairs. I'll keep an eye out!
DeleteI would feel more pulled in wearing high waist pants, but I thought that was the definition of a "mom jeans". I guess I should give them a try!
ReplyDeleteHigh waist is only one component of mom jeans. I think weirdly wide hips & high pockets are the most unflattering thing about them. High waists can be modern - I swear!
DeleteI bought numero 4 after seeing them on you in your post last week? I think it was? But I love them, I wore them all weekend and they are a mamas best friend, or at least this mama :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad. Those pants are currently my very favorite!
DeleteI love high waisted jeans! Especially now that I have had two kids, I love how tucked in I feel in them. My favorites are the BDG brand from urban outfitters, but I am going to check your suggestions out.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to try the BDGs but they are long on me because I'm petite. I'm kind of over having to hem every pair of pants I buy.
DeleteI'm kind of ridiculously excited to try some of these.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved high-waisted jeans.
ReplyDeletelooks like i'm going to target this weekend to try on some jeans!
