GET HIGH WAISTED

It is true - they are back, but isn't this a good thing? Isn't everyone a little tired of jeans riding so low they bear your unmentionables? The high waisted jean may not be for everyone, but for those of you who try them - you will LOVE them. Most of the high waisted jeans are not very high, in fact most still hit below the belly button. If you fear a little belly budge, just throw on your Spanx and problem solved. These jeans can be so flattering. Whether you choose to tuck in a nice ruffle blouse with them or tuck in a vintage tee for the Dazed and Confused look - you will feel all the more hip by owning a pair.

J Brand High Waisted are my top pick! J Brand is coveted by Angelina Jolie, Hally Berry, Fergie and others. J Brand can be found locally at Doree at SOHO.






Citizens for Humanity Hutton Jean is another coveted pair. Citizens can be found at Doree at SOHO, Gus Mayer at Colonial Brookwood Village, Saks Fifth Avenue at The Summit, and Soca Clothing.







The Ginger Jean by Seven for All Mankind is a great fit and great cut. Sevens can be found at Gus Mayer at Colonial Brookwood Village, Saks Fifth Avenue at The Summit, Soca Clothing, and Marella in Mountain Brook.






These Hudson high waisted are pleated in front and a somewhat dressier version of high waisted. Pair with a nice white short sleeve button down and jewelry. Hudson is found at Doree at SOHO.






Tag jeans are so fun, great fitting, and so comfortable. They are known for being the best fitting jean and that statement can certainly be validated by many fashionistas. These jeans are very 70's inspired and would look great with platform espadrilles, a vintage tee, and big sunglasses. Tag jeans can be found at Doree at SOHO and Swank 35223.







A favorite of Hollywood, these Era of Chaos jeans are made from soft denim with a little stretch making them feel so good. Found online at LF Stores.

So glad that high-waisted is relevant again! I never was fond of low-rise.
Amy, the outfit you put together with that pair from Conn on your b-day night was darn amazing.

you should get people's opinions on which ones are the best - a secret shopper piece like the one you did on denim before.
