This season's high-waisted denim offers a refreshing change from the low-rise styles of years past. Great for trimming the tummy, waists range from above the bellybutton to a few inches below, so experiment with which styles work best for you.

Tucking in a top to high waist jeans can be tricky, so it's best to stick with untucked tops. We paired ours with a cropped belted jacket, slim turtleneck and updated maryjanes. A quilted bag adds a nice jolt of color.
