If you like the look of plus size, high-waisted jeans for women, but are afraid your stomach will get in the way, guess again. You might be surprised to find that the high waist cut actually helps to hold your stomach in, while presenting a slenderizing effect.

Fashion and High-waisted Jeans

Once you take the step and buy those high waisted jeans, don't cover them up with a long blouse or shirt. High waisted jeans are made to be worn with your shirt tucked in. Here are few other fashion hints to complete your look:

Tops to Wear With High-waist Jeans

Choose a trendy top to compliment your high-waist look. A blouse with billowy sleeves accentuates the waistline giving you a longer, leaner look. Other ideas include:

  • Cropped sweater
  • Double-breasted jacket over your tucked-in top
  • A top with a full sleeve that is very wide at the armhole and narrow at the wrist.
  • A batwing blouse
  • Vintage t-shirt with a blazer

Footwear

Try wearing a boot or shoe with a heel or platform. High-waisted jeans look best with a higher heel which gives you that long lean look. To mix up your look choose a pair of sexy pumps or ankle [Large Size Women's Fashionable Boots|boots]].

The Right Fit for Plus Size High Waisted Jeans for Women

Choosing a jean in a dark wash with a long relaxed leg create a flattering, feminine silhouette. Color and cut are part of the complete picture, but the most important factor is fit. If your pants bunch up, or are too tight in the thighs, the fit isn't right. Even though jeans come in plus sizes, not every plus size woman has the same figure type. A number of tools are available online to help you decide what body shape you are and what cut will fit your particular body for both comfort and style.

If you have a small waist and larger hips, look for stretch denim jeans with a fitted waist. Or if you're short and want to minimize your curves, choose a straight, wide-leg jean. A benefit to the resurrected style is its tummy flattening effect. And enjoy it and show it off. High waisted jeans seem to be everywhere these days, so find the right fit and accessorize with a top and footwear that shows off your new look..
