STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: The Higher the Better

March 12th, 2015 at 2:00am

Probably one of the most controversial trends in fashion are high-waisted jeans, also known as “mom jeans,” but this trend has come a long way since first making its appearance in the ’90s. It is one of those trends that you either love or hate but I say if you can pull them off, rock them.

When this trend first started again, I think most were hesitant to wear it. It seemed absurd that people wanted to start wearing jeans to their belly button again, but the trend is here and is here to stay. High-waisted jeans are the perfect way to wear crop tops, tight tank tops and to dress up a graphic T-shirt. I love this trend in jeans but love it even more during the summer while wearing high-waisted shorts. So why did this look make its appearance for a second time around? Well, as you can tell, it is adorable. But besides that, it is very flattering. It covers all of the right places that girls are trying to cover and makes dresses up and outfit almost effortlessly.

I loved the way this Fashionista styled her jeans. She wore a pair of booties, gray socks, a simple black tank top, a super warm and an adorable sweater. She then finished off the look with a metallic statement necklace. When you are wearing a strong fashion statement such as high-waisted jeans, you want to keep the rest of your outfit chic but simple.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: “Less is more! Don’t wear too many accessories that they over power your outfit. Your outfit will look more put together when you stick to simplicity.”
