Low-rise jeans can be pretty scary. If you told me a few years ago that I’d be wearing them almost every time I put on a pair of jeans, I wouldn’t believe you. Since I work in the fashion industry it didn’t take much to convince me to try this trend but some of my friends have been a bit hesitant to give it a go. I tell them all how flattering low-rise jeans are because they exude confidence and feel very right now.

Some of my friends still don’t believe me, so I decided to prove them wrong with a little try-on. Every denim brand that I love has convinced me to love low-rise jeans with these styles. They’re comfortable, cute and so flattering when styled right. Below, find the list of low-rise denim that I adore.

I’m calling this pair of low-rise jeans the best on the market because they aren’t tooooo y2k. To any of my friends who are uncertain about trying out the low-rise denim trend, I would recommend that they start with this pair. It lingers just below the point that I would consider mid-rise making them a bit more conservative than the baggier pairs and they’re super flattering. 

My current favorite pair of low-rise jeans is anything but modest. These jeans take the term “puddle pants” to the next level. They’re incredibly baggy and make such a great contrast to any tighter top that you might own. It’s funny that amongst my closet of designer jeans, I go for this pair over and over. I always feel instantly cool when I put them on.

If you haven’t heard, Who What Wear editors are currently obsessed with the tapered jeans trend. I think we all own a pair or two and I’ll speak for the team by saying that we’re obsessed. We’ve seen wide-leg jeans trending for a year or two now and this is a way to attack that trend while still feeling somewhat different. 

Because jeans don’t just have to be simple.

As I transition into fall, I’ll be wearing a lot of cream colored jeans.
