High Waisted Jeans #1

[gia0202]

most the nykers i know wear what suits their body. All the thinnner ones stick with straight leg (usually natural waist or mid-low) the girls who regularly wear the flares/widelegs are stockier.

I thnk that is why i hate the flares... it makes my legs look thicker and shorter, where as witha straight/skinny leg, I can wear a low heel/flat and still look long/lean. really depends on body type.


at barneys, the 18th amendment high rises sold out, so the ginger started selling.

I'm actually quite the opposite - I can't stand high-waisted skinnies except for the rare exception. A nicely-cut high-waisted looser fit gives it more of a chic trouser silhouette which I love.

I'm average height (5'4") but with very imbalanced proportions - my torso is sooo long and my legs are on the shorter side. HOWEVER -- my high waisted trouser-leg jeans (which I'm wearing right now) make my legs seem miles and miles longer.

arent you like super tall Gia , with your height it must hard to find jeans with right hems as most the jeans out there have 32 inch or 34 inch inseams , ofcourse trouser legs wouldnt be good for you , but I would say for huge majority of body types , a mid rise trouser jean in light to medium weight denim does wonders .

im about avg height 5'6 and bit pear shaped , so high waist trouser jeans are godsend

yeah--its cuz iam almost 6ft and lanky---seriously... but i really wanted those trousers to work. i have a pair by alvin valley (they are a linen blend trouser) that are slighhtly flared wideleg. beautiful. but it adds about 10lbs to my frame and makes me look bottom heavy. i ended up stickig to straight leg. it just makes my legs look amazing.

i say wera what makes you FEEL like a supermodel, ya know?

i agree gia, wear whatever makes you feel your best !

what do you guys think of the new J Brand Zazou and Cass styles? the Zazou is made of 100% Pima Cotton and the Cass is 41%..
which I love because supima cotton makes clothes soo soft and comfy

Lea - i just love them! Especially the first ones.
I have black high waisted skinnies and i love them.

 

[ChrissyM]

i prefer the second pair, but i have to say, i'm really not a fan of either pair

i don't like the first pair at all..

 

[disco54]

^^^^^ I have tried on both , the Zazou is the more fashionable version of the Malik . I LOOOOOOOOVE the Zazou , jbrand should get pat on the back. I had earlier posted the zazou , I went shopping , tried them and fell in love. The jean is sooooooooooooooo soft , like the malik . I like these jeans because you get a fashionable jean and its only 22 inches , so its more like an everday type jean with a fashionable twist . The second jean is more for a girl who can dress up everyday its very fashionista and its super wide like , i would have to say 27-28 inch flare. The Zazou is a jean , I would highly reccomend.

Lea -

I love the shape... but I don't like how the pockets are high on the first pair... What is the cost? Pretty 70's and I like it.

i think both washes are gross!
i think flares have to be dark and no wash.

The photo distorts the coloring , they are like maliks in coloring . Im fed up of dark jeans , I have waay too many pairs , Im feeling lighter colored denims ,its good for spring and summer , dark denims are more suitable for fall/winter.

I shop around (bloomingdales has them), intermix has the cassie only , no im 5'6 and 115 pounds (it fluctuates) and size 4-6 and curvy, not a model like you gia hehe.

 

[lostinemotion]

I like light washes, but it has to be light all over, like pale pale blue and light weight.

It seems like those zazous would be unflattering.. they seem to have little yoke/butt support, and that + lightweight = hmm.. or maybe it's just the angle of the shot.

its the photos , im telling you in person its great! Its just the more fashionable version of the malik thats it , im wearing them right now , i wore it with a mickey mouse tee and a red belt , I got 4 compliments from strangers , so im happy and they make you suuuper tall /

another thing wide leg jeans have to be of a light to medium denim weight , otherwise if the denim is thick , it looks DUMPY , lot of denim brands esp lower end ones make them in heavy denim and its quite dumpy and not to mention uncomfortable . Thats why I like denim brands like jbrand and siwy of late a lot , they realize this.

pima cotton jeans = heaven

I'm NO model---disco. most fitmodels wear a sz 27/28 in jeans and are about your height. you should look into it.

lol ...im no model im 5'6 just about and curvy . Most models are really tall 5"10 plus and are sticks, I fit a size 27/28 though but models are way thinner , they were like 23.25 at most. In anycase the zazous are now available at intermix.
