The return of high-waisted jeans: a must-have trend

They may have been seen on Marylin Monroe in the 50s or Jane Birkin in the 70s, but it was in the 90s that high-waisted jeans reached the height of their glory.

During this period, they enjoyed unrivalled success, being worn by celebrities such as Cindy Crawford and Madonna, and adopted by the heroines of the most popular TV shows of the day, such as Beverly Hills and Friends. It has become an essential part of women's wardrobes. Quite simply, it's on every woman's bottom! Unfortunately, this success was short-lived, and by the early 2000s, fashionistas were abandoning them in favor of low-rise jeans.

But high-waisted jeans haven't said their last word! Although they have never completely disappeared, as they are still worn by a few die-hard devotees, they have come back with revenge in recent years, brought up to date by fashion enthusiasts. This comeback is not only due to a renewed interest in the 90s, but also to the many advantages this cut of trouser offers in terms of style and comfort. Indeed, high-waisted jeans take first place in both these areas!

We've said it before, choosing high-waisted jeans means opting for a piece that's both versatile and flattering. Still in doubt? Let's take a look at the biggest advantages!

• A slimmer silhouette: yes, high-waisted jeans are the best way to show off your figure! By enveloping the waist at its deepest point, high-waisted jeans enhance your look. They lift your legs, conceal small imperfections, shape your tummy and smooth your curves. And best of all, they fit almost every body type. You bet!
• Unrivalled comfort: You may find it hard to believe, but there's nothing more comfortable to wear than high-waisted jeans. Unlike low-rise jeans, which can quickly become uncomfortable when you sit or bend over, high-waisted jeans offer a pleasant feeling of support. There's no need for a belt, and above all, the stress of suffering the inelegant "plumber's syndrome" is a thing of the past: you can bend down without fear, and your jeans will stay firmly in place, holding your waist and bulging your buttocks.
• Versatile looks: high-waisted jeans offer a multitude of stylistic possibilities. From work to drinks to a night out with your girlfriends, they adapt to your every whim, requiring only one ingredient: your imagination! So whether you're looking for a casual look or a chic, no-fuss outfit, all you need is a pair of high-waisted jeans and the right top to make the magic happen.

Choosing the right model
First of all, it's essential to find the ideal high-waisted jeans for your figure. Our recommendation: check out our article on different body shapes to help you find the cut that's right for you!

• For a casual, trendy look, pair with a tucked-in t-shirt and sneakers.
• For a more sophisticated look, opt for the elegance of a flowing blouse or a light blouse with pumps.
• Planning a more chic outing? Complete your outfit with a tailored jacket or blazer to structure your silhouette, and don't forget the heels.
• For a casual look, a black camisole and sandals will do the trick.
• Looking for a retro look that reinforces the nineties vibe of high-waisted jeans? Opt for a bootcut cut, slip on a vintage T-shirt and fire up your best playlist ;)

Accessorize with style
