Who Wore It Better? High Waisted Skinny Jeans

FabSugar — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 17:00:22 PDT

Back in March, Jennifer Lopez proved curvy women can pull off high-waisted skinny jeans. Now, Deal or No Deal model Claudia Jordan is attempting to bring back those jeans. It's a toughie to pull off so I give props to both women for trying. Jennifer deserves a few extra points for those YSL pumps, layered bangles, and cool vest. Who do you think wore them better?

Janiesse High-Waisted Foxy Jeans: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 08:50:33 PDT

High-waisted jeans have been around for a while now and I was even brave enough to don a pair! So it's safe to assume that I like these Janiesse Foxy Jeans, $215, that Jessica Alba owns. Yes, they are super-duper high and probably really uncomfortable, but on the right person, they can look absolutely smashing. Do you agree?

Trend Alert: High-Waisted Jeans

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 11:21:22 PDT

The 70s are back! What with wide legged jeans in full force and now high-waisted jeans, it is clear the skinny and low rise have competition. I am elated - you all know by now I have a thing for the carefree styles of the dazed & confused decade. While the high waist was around long before the 70s, try the 50s, it was given sex appeal in the decade of disco. I prefer this look worn with a wide leg, it just complements any body way better. Either way, if you've got the feelin' go for it!

Best Work Pants For Your Body

Lucky — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 08:58:41 PST

Lucky magazine is one of our favorite sources for great shopping tips. We're thrilled to share this fabulous story on getting the right fit for your work pants from our friends at Lucky!

By definition, they’re not going to seem as fun as your red jeans or printed pants. But sensible and professional as they might be, there's no reason your work trousers shouldn’t be every bit as flattering.

To look taller . . .

. . . choose a pant with a hem that just barely skims the floor. It'll create the illusion of longer legs without overwhelming you in fabric. Labels that offer petite sizing - like these, with a 30" inseam instead of 33.5" - are probably the easiest way to do this.

Fall 2011 Breakdown: How to Channel the Swinging '60s

Brittney Stephens — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 04:00:02 PDT

Among all the polished looks we saw on the Fall runways, one of our favorite major trends was '60s-era elegance; subtle yet chic, it has proven to be a lasting look for the season. Whether you go for a Mad Men-esque, sexy secretary look, or want to channel the vibrant party girl pizzazz of Twiggy and Edie Sedgwick, it's an easy vibe to emanate. For the ultimate in go-go girl glamour, just check out Karlie Kloss for Vogue Japan - a short, sexy silhouette, bold patterns, and a wide-brimmed hat are easy ways to achieve this look. Here are our key takeaways:

Just because it's Fall, doesn't mean you need to shy away from color. Tuck a plain white blouse into a pink and orange tweed skirt, or liven up a black dress with a pair of bright red Mary Janes.
It's all about the silhouette: work a knee-length pencil skirt or ankle-grazing trouser for the office, and show some skin come nightfall in a short, sexy shift dress.
Don't go overboard; you don't want to look like you're wearing a costume. Pick one retro-feeling piece, and work it into your otherwise modern ensemble. A pussy-bow blouse looks floaty and chic with a pair of high-waisted jeans, and you can never go wrong with a simple A-line coat and skinnies.

Celeb Style: Claudia Schiffer

Hannah Weil — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 10:38:32 PDT

We spotted Claudia Schiffer offering a '70s tilt to her jeans and plaid pairing. The pieces are admittedly easy, but she manages to give the whole look a polished edge with just a few simple tricks; for one, tucking in her button-down feels infinitely more pulled together while luxe gold details on her sandals lend just a hint of sophistication. Altogether easy in the chicest way possible. Just click the items below to shop a similar style.
