Kinetic: Dare to set your style in forward motion.

Let’s be honest. The high-waist is polarizing because there aren’t too many of us that look flat out amazing in high-waisted jeans. It’s a difficult trend to wear well. Even when it does work, instead of “Wow you look incredible!” it’s more like “Wow, you can actually pull that off!” Yet we persist, determined to wiggle our way into fits that seem reserved for the select few with the agency-esq proportions. Will this trend ever become more inclusive?

With the resurgence of the trouser fit, the answer is yes. You’ll do more than just pull off the look, you’ll look like a star. With wider legs, tamed flare and over-the-shoe openings, high-waisted trouser jeans still aren’t for everyone, but they definitely invite more of us to the party. Disco fabulous, sassy and buoyant, the high-waisted trouser jean is more forgiving than its tapered indie counterparts. These will never be mistaken for the bum flattening abominations that some moms made famous. This is a fit that actually flatters your curves!

If the first adaptations of this ‘70s inspired look discouraged you, don’t turn your back on this version. Give the high-waisted trouser jean a try. Our verdict: hot, hot, hot!
