Fall Fashion: High-Rise Pants

Saturday, August 25th, 2007 | Fall Trends

Can you believe it: High-rise pants are back. And can I tell you that I’m actually excited about this? No really, I am.

Being a low-rise connoisseur practically all my life, it’s always been about the hip hugging jeans, pants, and mini skirts. It’s all good when you’re thin and tasteful about it, but goodness forbid you’ve gained a few extra pounds around the waist or you bend over a bit and a little bum cleavage peeks out. Also, in my opinion the social acceptance of ‘whaletail’ – or visible panty lines – has allowed for increasing distastefulness in female clothing choices. Like it or not, high-rise styles are being revamped in your favorite designer and low end lines – ushering in a wave of chic, ladylike fall fashion.

Steeper	Cheaper

10th Amendment high-rise skinny jeans $212	Express high-rise slacks w/ wide belt $58

Wearability: High-rise skinny jeans styles look great with a wide belt for an ultra-slimming effect, accompanied by cute babydoll tops or button ups that you can tuck. Wide leg styles are also a hit. High-rise slacks for the office can look chic with a grey turtleneck top and this season’s metallic silver pumps or boots.

Blah, I can’t stand wide legs.

Skinny jeans (and even bootcut)=love.

I like clothes that hug my body. I feel more put-together that way.

You CAN get cheap, great skinnies. Today I wore a pair of Levis skinnies that I got at Ross Dress for Less forunder $15.
