Low-Rise vs. High-Waisted: The Pros and Cons

As fashion continues to evolve, so do different trends and styles. In the last several years, trends with the millennial generation have leaned back towards wide-leg pants. This is after many years of skinny jeans reigning supreme — it seemed like this style was going to last forever. And while many millennials do still love skinny jeans, wide legs have made a major comeback. And Gen Z is hopping on board as well, pairing wide legs with pieces like crop tops, body chains, and jean jackets. While wide legs are trending, another style is making its way back into the mainstream: low-rise jeans. This was all the rage back in the early 2000’s, but some people have not accepted this trend with welcome arms so quickly. Are you on the fence about accepting this throwback trend? Check out all the pros and cons of low-rise and high-waisted jeans.

Pros of High-Waisted Jeans

High-waisted jeans are a trend that is easy to love. And this goes for other clothing options like skirts too. A high waist cut can instantly make your curves look great, and give your body the appearance of longer legs and a thin waistline. And who doesn’t like to have a bit more length on the leg line? Flowy, long skirts look great with a high waist, or the skirt of a power suit. Jeans look great with a high waist as well, and can really take an outfit up a notch. They are comfortable and go with a variety of different tops, so a pair of high-waisted jeans is always your friend.
