Q. I recently purchased a pair of high waist gray denim jeans and have been trying to figure out what top would look good with this style. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I did see the recent issue of Elle which had a photo shoot with jeans of this kind but they showed a tank top and it is still cold where I live.
-High Waisted
A. High-waisted pants require a slim fitting top to tuck into the jeans to create a long lean look from shoulder to foot. You can layer a short jacket or sweater or, to still keep the illusion of length, you can add a long thin knit cardigan worn open and loose.
Tuck in a slim top:
1. Soda Blu Short Sleeve Turtleneck, $58 at tobi.com
2. Regatta boatneck, $34 at jcrew.com
3. Velvet Jovitas Top, $75 at tobi.com
Layer one of these over your tucked in top:
4. Camilla sweater jacket, $128 at jcrew.com
5. 12th Street by Cynthia Vincent Cambazola Professor Cardigan, $399 at bluebee.com
6. Tokidoki TD Cable Knit Sweater, $132 at tobi.com
