Four Ways To Make High Waist Skinny Jeans Slimming

When it comes to denim, every rise jean is in style right now from low to mid to high. Mid-rise are certainly the easiest to wear. But styled correctly, high res skinny jeans can be quite flattering. Here are four tips to keep in mind:

1. Choose jeans with some stretch.

The number one fear when wearing high-waist denim is that they’ll look like mom jeans. To avoid this, look for jeans that have a bit of stretch to them. A darker rinse also helps.

2. Trick the eye in head-to-toe color.

Monochromatic dressing, aka wearing the same color from top to bottom, is an instant slim down. Since my jeans are blue, I went with a navy color scheme. But you can do the same with white or black denim.

3. Say hi to a high neckline.

A high neck top lengthens the torso, which helps since you’re cutting off the body at the belly-button with your denim. I went with a tie-neck blouse then added a collar necklace to bring the eyes towards the upper part of my body.

4. Cut it off at the ankle.

With a high rise skinny jean, it’s most flattering to have it hit either just at the ankle or right above. Go for a cropped style, head to the tailor or simply cuff your denim like I did. To look even taller and leaner, add some height with your shoes by slipping into a heel or comfy wedge sandals.

I hope these tips help you next time you throw on a pair of high rise skinny jeans!
