High Waisted Jeans #1

[disco54]

btw the rise on my jeans are 9-10 inches which are at waist . The grey ants are the only true high waist jeans I have but I wear that when Im going out. day to day I wear my Maliks and Ginger jeans

 

[She Sends Kisses]

Disco- When you were your Maliks, can you wear flats with them or are you constantly stepping on the bottoms, and have to wear a heal of some kind. I really want them but more for day-to-day wear when I usually wear flats.

 

[disco54]

The maliks and gingers are like everyday jeans ,they hit just below your waist , they are 9-9.5 inches which is like your natural waist . You can wear flats ,I wear them with those wedged flats , because I like the support , but you can wear them with flats , but you have to make sure they are hemmed so they arent scrunching at the bottom but are just grazing the floor. I mostly wear loafers and sandals which are 2-3 inches to office and they are also for medical reasons because I need arch support but , I think these jeans look best with heels , you feel and look very sophisticated esp with the gingers (like what Rbil is wearing) , I want to get the sweden wash already. Gingers are an awesome jean! Maliks are THE most comfy though , take my word for it , its like wearing pajamas but they are jeans and they look really good with platforms and these red patent stillettoes I have.

 

[disco54]

just hem them ....if you want to wear with flats only

 

[haute femme]

my gingers were sooo long I had to hem them. but I have short legs

I'm craving a pair of maliks..especially now that they're so cheap on shopbop.com right now.

The Cheap Monday high-waisted skinnies looked positively grotesque in the picture, however I was at a second-hand shop on the weekend, found an almost brand new pair and, low-and-behold, on they look amazing and feel wonderful.
It may be finnicky to your specific body type, but they are a real dream. TRRRRYYYY!

^Yeah Cheap Mondays make good high waist skinny jeans for a good price. Great find makehate!


So I went and ordered these:

I dont know how this project is gonna turn out, but I guess I just have to try. If they look good on me, maybe I can wear these as work pants. Im way too much of a rocknroller to go out in this kind of pants. Skinny high waist is my option for going out...

Talk about proporstions: For me, as I have little bit of pear shape, I think skinny jeans with big tops flatter me the most. It creates an illusion that my shoulders/upper body are broader and legs skinnier. Pair that with a oversized cardigan unbuttoned, and the look is complete for winter!

 

[disco54]

I hate wearing big tops , its ok once in a while but , it hides your waist , your boobs and your cuves , I am happy fashion is moving towards fitted shorter tops and higher waistlines .

 

[disco54]

you cant wear skinny jeans to work .....party yes! but work big NO NO , why dont you go to Express , they have tonnes of good high waisted pants , another thing the pant should be grazing the ground otherwise it looks off btw , these are bad *** I wear them a lot and 3-4 girls at my office bought the same pant but in different colors . http://www.expressfashion.com/products.jsp?category=Her&groupid=17&page=3

 

[lostinemotion]

yeah big tops and high waists don't look good and makes girls look like a big block.
i dont like those jbrands from the front. it looks like if you have any sort of hip actions, it will make you look heavy. i think it needs pockts.

 

[disco54]

They are fine from the front, I own two pairs of them , these jeans get me those most compliments. I was speaking of big tops in general , they just hide the female form , esp waist and curves . Actually such jeans are awesome for hips , a skinny jean would make a pear shaped curvy girl like myself look like a giant ice cream cone as stacy london says or even giant more giant pear , for 65% of the american female population, these are potentially perfect jean, flattering ,comfy ,roomy and can be dressed up or down and no nasty muffin top as these are regular rise jeans .

 

[Guessgirl96]

I've been looking for a pair of trouser jeans forever. I actually think the j brand look good, I may try them if the earnest sewn I just got dont work out.

 

[disco54]

The Seven Ginger and Jbrand maliks are jeans which I highly recommend . Another jean which is more on the bold side but has been worn by the likes of Jessica Alba , Kelis and lead singer of PCD , is from this label which was one of the first to do high waist back in 2005 , Jainesse , I really love the Charlotte jean , check out the slide show . http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=157279604

*the jeans are cheap monday...

 

[Deborah]

I am getting the cheap monday ones I am just chooosing between that colour ^^ or black.

 

[marylauda]

i would say the color that the girl is wearing, at least personally... i think those in black might look a little severe?

 

[Deborah]

Yeah my boyf says those ones too. My sister says black. She says it goes better wih things but the boyf says I might as well get haigh waist trousers if I get black.

 

[marylauda]

I completely agree with your boyfriend. The Cheap Mondays are so high and tight that black would look too austere...and you would need a wide leg instead..so once again I say the regular denim.

 

[disco54]

Those cheap mondays are eww, corset waists look good only trousers , either straight or wide leg . If you want to do a high waist skinny which is much harder to pull off than the high rise wide leg , I highly suggest the Jbrand Bardot jean or its more flattering cousin the Jbrand Doll flare.
