The idea for this article was prompted by a recent comment from my Instagram. Marvelous ( for me), but to many, jeans from the golden times of Cindy Crawford and Coca-Cola seem “unfeminine and generally anti-sex.”
Jeans, which were originally men's workwear, are today a true symbol of unisex.
By themselves, they can be anything as long as they look beautiful on the figure. In nature there are such unique things on which even the ugly true religion of the times of perestroika bad taste fits perfectly ( I saw it with my own eyes).
But you can still draw some conclusions based on the styles.
Jeans with a deep rise and a slightly high waist suit many more girls than regular jeans. This is my deep belief based on observations.
The waist is slightly higher and the silhouette looks slimmer and more feminine. In addition, many have bellies that don't look very nice from regular-fit jeans. High waist solves this problem.
(the style looks right better than that what's on the left)
In general, the most universal formula when choosing jeans for any figure is:
High waist + tapered hem.
Considering a comfortable high waist is especially helpful for those with a long torso or short legs. Yes, it won’t fix your figure perfectly, but jeans shouldn’t save the world. Improving the proportions a little and hiding the excess is a sufficient result.
But jeans that are straight and slightly flared at the bottom look only on very thin and long-legged people. The rest are not decorated at all.
Especially coupled with low or mid-rise:

And high waists absolutely don’t suit me. I have a short torso + wide chest (wide ribs). And if I wear a high-waisted bottom, I'll look like a square. Therefore for me perfect option- low landing.

Jeans are practical, comfortable to wear, and noticing their longevity, I wondered if this item of clothing was outdated. Jeggings, leggings, soft insulated trousers have appeared and you want to wear them all. But...boyfriend jeans - I'm all for it.

High-waisted jeans not only make your legs, but also your butt “long,” so the option is questionable.
I think you can only find your ideal jeans by trying them on and preferably having someone take pictures from behind. - Katerina
Yes, I forgot to add about bell-bottoms. Nowadays it is fashionable to have jeans with a slight flaring at the bottom and straight ones, they just look terrible on everyone without exception, especially cropped ones, the figures are anti-sexy, hipless and with short legs. Only models can wear these.
- Sophia
Apparently, there are jeans for everyone. As a middle-aged woman of average height, with a well-proportioned and rather thin figure for my age, but with somewhat plump legs, I really like jeans with high rise, but not tapered, but bootcut or with fairly wide legs from the knee. True, this style requires a small heel, at least 5 cm. I walk like this even with the top straightened out, I feel very comfortable, such jeans are slimming, neatly gather the top, emphasize the butt, and the wide bottom from the knee balances the plump legs at the top.
- Olga
And I noticed that jeans look good on adult women after 50. They add youth to them, in my opinion, but on young women they look poor, miserable, like a uniform. On women from 25 to 35 - boring, ordinary, tasteless. Only careless, free, decorated with accessories or outerwear the image can still catch my eye.
- Julia
And they suit me with a high waist
And tight-fitting at the same time)
I agree that they fit better than low rise ones
Despite the fact that I have a sports a slim body, long legs
So yes, I discovered this style and I like it!) - Kate
Jeans that are wide at the bottom don't even suit skinny people. Only very thin and very long-legged.
- Oksana
My husband doesn't like high-waisted boyfriend jeans, neither on me nor on anyone else. Constantly criticizes when he sees it on someone. But I like it. I really want these for myself. I’ll buy it anyway, he’ll have to put up with it)))))

Tell me, what is the name of the model of such “successful” jeans (high-waisted, loose along the leg and tapering at the bottom)? Vintage? Or maybe Mom jeans? (or are they the same thing?) When ordering online, it is still convenient to proceed from the name of the model, since photos of tall, long-legged models do not always help with the choice. Well, it’s clear that you’ll have to try on a lot of pairs, most likely, before you can find ones that fit well. Thank you.
Agree with you! If only high-waisted skinnies wouldn’t go out of fashion, otherwise you won’t be able to find them anywhere again 🙂 this is “my” model!

A couple of days ago I asked the author about the name of these most successful jeans. Thanks again for the post! I always thought that I only needed tight-fitting jeans (short height, fragile and slender top, and if I strictly keep my weight, then I am very petite), but as soon as I gain a little weight, that same pear with golife and an unflattering heavy bottom appears. .), but at the same time I still never liked the way I looked in them (my legs in such jeans looked shorter and heavier, although I was not overweight) and I haven’t worn jeans for a long time recent years 8…. I read about retro jeans, but I was sure that they definitely wouldn’t suit me, they would make my already imperfect butt long (they wrote here in the comments) and so on... In general, today I decided, out of curiosity, to try on these same mom jeans in Bik Bok, I’m sharing my experience: as it turned out, those same retro high-waisted jeans, tapered at the bottom and loose on the leg, fit me perfectly, just perfectly, with my non-jean figure! I feel 100% myself in them, they never emphasize my shortcomings anywhere, they show my thin waist, and the butt is only covered at the top. Not tight bottom part and the “ears”/breeches area, transform into semi-adjacent trouser legs (wow, how I described it here)... I think that part of the secret that such jeans hide (at least do not emphasize) the relief is in the fabric itself - dense, thick and stiff. At the same time, they are very comfortable for me, they don’t pinch or press anywhere, they don’t block veins :-). I rolled up my trouser legs slightly to ankle level, and voila - such a fashionable 37-year-old woman - comfortable, not old-fashioned. And yes, by the way, to my surprise, the legs do not seem at all shorter, but even longer. I think these jeans should be worn with flat shoes. Tried it with sneakers (small, white), oxfords - perfect! (although my legs usually look much shorter in sneakers). Author, what other shoes should I wear them with? How about heeled pumps? ballet shoes? And what kind of top goes with these jeans - a bomber jacket? trench coat? (but the trench coat is more likely for high ones, probably). Thank you!
