That Seventies Denim
Seventies inspired flared leg high waist jeans are back in style again. Here are some of the most-asked styling questions and my answers on how to wear them…Question: I have a tummy. How do I keep it from protruding in high-waisted jeans? Answer: Wear a third piece like a blazer, cardigan, etc. to camouflage or pair the jeans with a top with a hem that stops right at the spot you “pop” most and fits but doesn’t cling. Question: What shoe do I wear? Answer: That depends on how tall you are. If you have really long legs you can wear whatever shoes you like. If not, a heel is going to give you extra height and that looks best with this style. Question: How long should the inseam be? Answer: Again that depends on your height. If you are on the shorter side, take these just about to the floor. That looks great if you’re tall as well. If you’re tall, you can also crop them or have them stop at the ankle. Bonus… you can wear dark wash jeans and black. I get that one a lot. I like to add another color into the mix when I do that, though, like I did here with this striped shirt. P.S. In this pic I’m wearing the Katie high waist flare leg jeans from Fidelity Denim. Check out that button detail on the pocket. It adds a little nautical flair to this flattering clean-wash style.
