FASHION PICKS!: UP ON HIGH…

Thursday, September 13, 2007

highwaistsmall.jpg

If you’re just catching up to the high waist trends, then you are a tad bit late. Infact, high waist jeans have been popularized for at least three seasons now starting as a huge trend in the U.K and moving here to the U.S. But, besides how long its been the “it” look - high waist jeans have triumphed over the “low rise” phase where we practically saw the glory of a woman’s butt crack.

Celebrities and their stylists have taken a big liking to high waist jeans, mostly because of the fun you can create with a pair. The most hot style right now would have to be the high waisted suspenders, which I received numerous emails about after posting photos of Meagan Good rocking the look. The corset jean, rock’d by Eve (Fetish High Waist Jeans) and Elise Neal most recently has also added positives to “the high”…

LOOKING FOR SOME HIGH WAIST JEANS?

Here are some great alternatives you can find online right now. Though High waist jeans are more appealing on certain body types, I think that any woman can try a pair and find the right fit for her. High waist doesn’t necessarily mean all of them come to your chest! So don’t be afraid of this look…

If Tianna can let us in on a little something…or any of the other CLoopers…
exactly what type of body type would this look well on?…all of the woman shown are pretty similar…slim/slender…some taller than others.
Any suggestions?…give examples like it would work on a someone with a shape like…”Celebrity X” or “Celebrity Y”?..but maybe not so much on someone like “Celebrity Z”?..
they look really cute!

Those jeans looks like the same jeans that was in style before the hip hugger jeans came back in style. Look in your mom’s closet she probably has a few pair. Fashion always repeats itself, What was once out of style is back in style and so on. The jeans look so much better and classier than the hip hugger jeans.

To Mz. D

I think this look will work for those who are slim/slender like the ladies above as well as those that are curvy, but you have to have little to no stomach whatever size you are due to the shirt being tucked in.

YEAH I GUESS UR STOMACH NEEDS TO BE ALMOST NON-EXISTENT WITH THIS TREND (WHICH IS FINE WITH ME)….

Say goodbye to the “muffin top” effect.

You left out the Kelis - I remember she wore a really nice pair of these in some photoshoot earlier this year? And no mention of high-waist shorts too? But yea this style has been done to death in the UK.

Nah I don’t like hi waist jeans. It looks corny, no matter how in they are this season! Looks like u got given a wedgie with them so high.

I’m so feeling this, and the celebs look great. I’m def gone get me a pair, I fell for the low waist jeans, so why not try a different medium…

I think these jeans look nice on skinny tall people. I agree they are not for everybody.

You forgot Kelis. She started on this look wayyyy back when she designed a line of high-waisted jeans for Miss Sixty in the UK. Plus, a year or two later, she rocked a pair in her Bossy video (and folks in the States thought she was crazy).

Kelis is always 3 steps ahead of those other chicks.

You can’t hand thunder thighs, a huge ass or a flabby stomach to wear this style. Everything must be taut and toned because if not, that’s when seams start buckling and you get those horrible creases in the denim around the crotch area because they dont’ fit properly.

But damn! I need to start paying attention to what’s going on across the pond! My French professor did say that fashions in Paris are sometimes four years ahead of American trends, and I guess she’s right(London being just over the Channel).

high waist always were in “fashion”, dress how you want. I never understood why women all wanna look the same, walk into the place and yall have the same uniform on. the best way to go is shop how you feel, dress what’s on yo mind.

http://www.djpremium.com has the best designer jeans ever….I have been shopping on that site for a long time and they have great selection if you not bothered by spending a little money on your jeans. LOVE IT!!! It has men and women designer clothes. I think everyone should check it out!!!

OH yeah..the jeans are Fab Tianna!!!!

all the ladies look nice especially the first 3, but eve’s fit isn’t quite right but she still looks good.

I like but I don’t think these pants are flattering to us sistahs with hips, all depends on the fit possibly. I think that’s why eve’s are not as flattering as the rest of the ladies the tight fit at the hips isn’t really a good look.

48.

Chiara

Thursday, September 13, 2007 /

I don’t think this work well for the girls. All those girls are really really slim and look how those pants make them look like. Urgh … I think an ok style would be the one on Ciara or Eve in her clip with Sean Paul, you know really not wearing a lot on the upper body, as you’re already imprisoned in all this clothes down there.

MZ.D #4, They wouldn’t look good on anyone with a big ass belly and/or really flat ass

You don’t have to be cut-up or fit like Ciara or Janet to rock the high-waisted jeans looks…

Like Tianna pointed out there are many different styles for everyone…

For the super-slim, tiny waist types: wear the jeans Ciara, Elise and Nicole are rockin…

For the kinda thick chicks or chicks who’s upper body is kinda short (think long legs…short torso) rock the lock Meagan is sportin…it will look fab on you.

I will NOT be afraid damnit lol…

this high waisted jean thing is so wack! sorry, they may be beautiful but those jeans are so last year.

LADYBUG

This is one trend I won’t be sporting. It’s not bad, but it definitely isn’t for everyone. I am only 5′2″ with a short torso, and I tried a pair of these on and looked absolutely ridiculous. However, I have a coworker who is tall and slender and they look fab on her (she’s long waisted with long legs and this style really flattered her figure). I will stick with my low rise pants/jeans/trousers. The ladies in the photos all look great.

54.

Such Magnificence

Thursday, September 13, 2007 /

I don’t think the overall look is played Fallon…its really just catching on. I mean thats my personal opinion…

55.

Such Magnificence

I meant overalls…sorry about that!

56.

Fallon

Thursday, September 13, 2007 /

I’m soo sorry, I can understand it being a little high-waisted, it’s cute(I’d never wear it) but when they make it go all the way up, it’s over-load for me.But hey, some people like that. and that’s ok Such Magnificence.:)

I like Ciara and Nicole Scherzinger’s high waist pants the best

new yorker

Thursday, September 13, 2007 /

it’s not a new trend like tianna pointed out. it was out in the uk before kelis rocked them so we’re really just following europe’s lead. btw the new trend has been wide-leg jeans/trousers for a while now but only tall ppl seem to rock those well.

70.

BRAD

THESE JEANS ARE VERY SIMILAR HOW MEN WORE THEIR JEANS IN THE EARLY 1920′S….THE WORE HIGH TROUSERS. *FAST FORWARD TO 2007*…WOMEN ARE WEARING THEM THINKING THEY HAVE INVENTED SOMETHING NEW.

71.

"gangsta, gangsta" that's what we yellin!

Thursday, September 13, 2007 /

my mom is sooo happy that high wasted pants are back in style in the us…lol my mom’s a fashion designer. and yeah tianna’s right. it’s not a new trend. well, new to us…lol

i just wonder for a plus sized sista as myself, what’s available for us?!?! skinny jeans are available, but not everyone looks good in them. me included. :(

The jeans second from the left are a BLACK OWNED denim line named Jainesse . Jaycia is the designer and she is really killing the fashion game right now Kelis, Jessica Alba , Mandy Moore and many other’s wear her jeans. They are currently carried at Fred Segal, Petro Zillia, Nordstrom, Atrium and many other fine boutiques. Those jeans are called the Charlotte’s and they are the best sellers and instant classics. SUPPORT BLACK BUSINESS and visit more Jainesse at myspace.com/jainesse.
Stay Gold,

” But yea this style has been done to death in the UK.”

I love peculiar pieces, I stalk them lol but I hate these sort of trends because people grab on and they become too popularized, and then they’re dated… I think high waist jeans are…I think the only celebs you’ll see rocking them from now on will do so because they LOOK great in them. I don’t think it’s about the style anymore. And, in that way it’s okay to wear them, if they’re not the focal point of your outfit, if you’re just wearing them because they’re a great fitting pair of jeans.
But most women won’t do that, they’ll wear them like many of the ladies above, with tees or other easy to miss tops and accessories… Check how Kelis and Lauren Hill (who was the first to wear them here, yall forgot about her at the BET awards with the Fugees) wore theirs, they didn’t rely on the jeans, they paired them with equally stylish tops…
