High waist jeans
High waisted Jeans from Tally-Weijl are flattering, especially for women with an hourglass shape. The garments bring attention to the small waist and also define the hips. Fitting high waist jeans are versatile. If paired with a good blazer, they can make it to the board room.
To find the perfect pair, be in touch with your body type. For instance, if you are short and petite, go for minimal cuffs. Striped jeans will also create the illusion of height. If you have long legs, wide-leg high waist jeans will do the trick.
