^I'm curious to know what people wear, too. I think a vintage t-shirt looks cool, but also fitted button-down blouses..
 
anything........you get a different type of definition when you wear tops over high waist jeans , it looks nice . If you want to show the waistline ......henleys, skivvies, halters,mutton sleeve blouses,pouf sleeve blouses, closed fitted or banded tops are the best......
 
french actress charlotte gainsbourg

dsf.jpgi like the way she has paired it with a cropped jacket....she rocks high waisted jeans well ..mischa should have worn something like this. www.denimology.com
 
i was surprised to learn she is 36, she looks like a teenager lol
 
From the american celebrities sporting this trend I think Gwen Stefani has pulled it off the best
 
^ i believe that's not jane birkin. i've seen this editorial and they styled it after her though. i just happened to come across the model today, i think her name is jessica miller, she has a thread here. maybe i'm wrong, someone correct me if i am.

and disco54: out of all the high waisted jeans u have, what is your favorite pair? which one do u recommend?

That model is styled to look like Jane Birkin, but it isn't her.
 
The biggest problem I have found with my high waisted skinnies is finding a top and shoes combo that compliment the jeans, without over powering them. I cant help but feel that theres just too much going on in one outfit. That its just too busy.

(And to slide ever so slightly off topic, Id like to say I too am a devoted CM skinnies wearer. The price may be cheap, but the fit is devine. I get the feeling that were they given a £150+ price tag, there wouldnt be this snobbery.My two cents...)

well, i have pretty much tried them all ( i think),from whatever is there on the market , if you want like a pale light summer jean , topshop K jeans are good , but I think DITTOS blue jeans and JBRANDS doll jeans are extremely flattering esp if your curvy and they have a moderate 10 inch rise. My personal faves are the grey ant braided jeans , i love the detailing on it. It reminds me of the ones chloe did , which are like IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND.
 
i really hate this washed out pale denim shades just posted :sick:
 
which one??? ^^ all the jeans posted in the last pages are dark shades?
 
light denim looks good in summer and spring, dark denim looks good in the fall and winter but can be worn in summer/spring
 
disco you should have your own line.
i only like the grey ant and dittos.
the jbrand i saw on the shopbop site look like sh*t. i think it needs a seam in the back. how cheap looking.
def ditto and take it to the extreme

I could , if I had the money , I would do jeans right , esp high waisted , wide legs , drainpipes ,and i would take it all the way lol....lot of brands really dont know what constitutes a good jean, they just make some stupid IMO.
now that you mention it , lost , your sort of right, like i mean the fit of it looks good ( of their jeans , skinny , flare ,etc) but , their prices(JBRAND) are NUTS , and the can easily copied and a fraction of the cost. I was at macys , they had GLO jeans ( dark blue flare) , 24.99 , looked exactly like their dark blue jeans. DITTOS are the SHIAT ! I was looking at old ads, they had these bad *** rainbow designs , they should do it for their new line but i guess they are playing it safe FOR NOW , but i would like to see them do rainbow/heart shaped designs. They looked good on high waist jeans (11-12 inch ones), cause it breaks up the long *** , and you do end up with something which looks attractive. So far i think the blue DITTOS jeans , have come up with the best mainstream high waister , as it is a jean you could wear to work with a blazer and pumps , and at night you can wear a halter , and gold platforms .

thats sooomething my grandma could say.. i only like dark dark denim, all year long

btw, ALL those high waist jeans posted here are totally faded, bell bottom and processed, no dark jeans in sight

never liked any kind of 'detailed' or distressed jeans
 
but there are definitely high waisted tapered jeans in raw/no-distress or overdyed (e.g. CM, Nudies/Denim Birds/Julian Red).



Julian Red s/s07
an example of high-waisted, tapered color denim.





Grey Ant (promotional image from ShopBop)

another example intersection of trends high-waisted, overalls, overdyed/colored, wide leg.
