11 Chic High-Waisted Jean Outfits To Try This Winter

When it comes to jeans, I’m unquestionably loyal to a high-waisted cut. In my mind, they’re the universally flattering style, cinching in the waist and skimming over the hips into your leg silhouette of choice. Plus, the styling options are endless, not only in the variety of leg style (from this season’s trending wide-leg to the ever popular straight cut), but also with what to wear with them. And in considering the endless options ahead of a new season, who better to look to then some of my favourite influencers?

As we move into the cold months, high-waisted jeans become the key base for a mix of layered looks. Starting with a tucked-in white t-shirt or button-down, you can add a luxe cashmere jumper, or just throw over a trench or floor-sweeping wool coat. Then there are the shoes—thanks to the leg-lengthening look of high-waisted jeans, these styles work perfectly with the season’s trending flat footwear, loafers and ballet pumps. But if you need a little lift—or want to take your favourite jeans from day to night—a pair of heeled boots or kitten heels will do the trick. 

Whether you’re coveting a vintage-looked style of wide-leg jeans or a versatile black pair, there are plenty of high-waisted jean outfits to create this season. These are just a few of the looks I’m planning on recreating.
