The high-waisted jeans cant be covered by a long top (because we’re missing the point here…), so tucking this top into the waistline of your jeans will keep the focus on your feminine figure. Whether it’s a long-sleeve top or a buttoned plaid top, don’t think twice – just tuck it into your jeans.

The high waisted has its benefits. Because they sit above the hips, they can hide love handles, and belly bloating. Also, you can’t have a muffin top or plumber’s butt like sometimes happens with low rise jeans.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m seeing the same IG influencers, and I KNOW most of them are skinny. However, you chose to follow them, and not the opposite, so take a look at these inspiring women that really nailed that high-rise denim look – and you can do it too:
1. Wear Your Best Bra
Especially if you’re wearing a d cup, the right bra that fits you perfectly will keep your waistline neat and flattering.
2. Go for a Darker Wash
If your belly doesn’t look good with this high-rise, no matter what you do – Go for a darker wash will cover the bumps better.

3. Chose a non-bulky top
It will keep your waist area slim. Also, If tucking in looks bad, you don’t have to. Instead, try a slight peplum tee, and an extra layer of jacket or cardigan might look lovely.
4. Find the right Belt (Or Give It Up)
Wearing a belt along the hip area might draw attention and focus around your stomach. However, in some cases, trying a wide belt, higher on your torso, could be surprisingly flattering for your shape.
5. Stay Away From Flats
Wearing heels and wedges will flatter your body while flats are a big no. Also, choose shoes that disappear into your pants, like black with black. It will help you avoid shoes that visually cut you off at the ankles.
