It’s curious how in the world of fashion sooner or later everything always ends up coming back. Nowadays, for example, we see that some trends from the 80s and 90s are also making a comeback. Celebrities are always posting photos on social networks and sometimes show up at awards shows with beautiful retro looks. One of the pieces that has made a comeback recently is high-waisted pants, a style that helps define the silhouette and elongate the legs. But what not everyone knows is that we need to be careful when combining this look with other pieces of clothing.
Thinking about it, the awesome.club listed some of the most common mistakes we can make when wearing high-waisted pants. In addition, we bring you some tips for you to make better use of this piece, according to your style and body type.
1. Wear shorter garments on top
Short blouses go great with high-waisted pants. If your goal is to show off your waist, don’t hide behind baggy clothes or plus sizes and opt for tops, T-shirts and blouses above the hips.
2. Combine with crop top sweater
You can also pair the pants with a short-sleeved or long-sleeved sweater. See which style suits you best and go for it.
3. Tie a knot in blouses or t-shirts
If you like to wear baggy T-shirts, tie a knot at the waist. This can be done on the front or back. If your blouse has buttons, button a few, leave one or two open, and tie the two loose ends together.
4. Put the shirt inside the pants
When pairing the look with long, oversized pieces, don’t forget to tuck them inside your pants. You can put all the leftover part of shirts and blouses or just the front, leaving the first button of the pants or the belt buckle showing.
5. Add layers to your style
You can also enhance high-waisted pants by adding layers to the look. This can be done with vests, coats and jackets, but don’t forget to tuck blouses and T-shirts inside your pants, or opt for short models of these pieces.
6. Choose the right size
Pants that are too tight or too small do not flatter the figure, and pants that are too wide add unnecessary bulk. That is, try to choose a model that matches your body and pay special attention to the hem when combining the pants with other accessories.
7. Leave your shoes on display
High-waisted pants are paired with high heels as they help elongate your legs. That is, do not let part of the pants cover up your shoes.
When creating an informal look, opt for jeans and fold the hem. And try not to use models that are too tight, so you can fold it to the height you prefer.
When combining high-waisted pants with athletic shoes, opt for straight-cut models or capris.
8. Choose light fabrics
We don’t always opt for waist-length pants because we’re afraid they’ll be too tight and uncomfortable. In this sense, it is important to choose pants made of light and loose fabrics, always according to your taste.
9. Mark your waist with belts or waistband with elastic
The belt helps create a visual effect where the body is split in half. Choose one in the same color as the outfit to maintain the pattern and further elongate the silhouette.
You can achieve the same effect with pants that have an elasticated waistband.
