It’s official: high-waisted everything is back in style- shorts, bikinis, etc… it’s all back friends! No longer are high-waisted jeans considered “mom jeans”… everyone is rocking them, and they look pretty amazing. And I’m sure you’ve noticed that for the past few summers, high-waisted shorts have been huge. The trend doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, so why not learn how to wear them? Today, I am sharing two casual looks that I styled with my favorite high-waisted denim shorts!
I have said this once before, but I have never been a fan of denim shorts- I know, who am I? What do I wear in the summer? Well, in the past, I typically would live in simple, summer dresses because I have always HATED my legs. I feel like most of us probably have that one area of our body that we really dislike- like, no matter what you do (work out, eat healthy, etc), nothing seems to help. Well gals, mine would be my legs.
Growing up, I was a cheerleader and always had stronger, muscular legs. I was always really self-conscious about them and unfortunately, that hasn’t changed much as I have gotten older. What has changed, however, is me accepting myself for who I am. I will never be some 6 foot tall supermodel with slender legs and no cellulite- nope, never. I have learned to love my body and accept the way I was made!
So, since I have recently started wearing denim shorts, I have been on the hunt for a figure flattering high-waisted pair. There is something so retro about high-waisted shorts and I believe they really help to accentuate your waist. I also love that these are a little on the longer side, as I definitely don’t want to be showing off any of my cheeks!
I love that you can create so many looks with one pair of shorts: pair with a tank and some sandals for a casual look, wear over your one-piece bathing suit if you’re headed to the beach, or add a chic blazer and heels for a night-time, dressy look. One pair of shorts styled so many different ways!
So, after all my searching and countless try-on sessions, I have officially found the best high-waisted denim! Topshop by far is my favorite brand for denim shorts and I have been obsessed with this pair and this pair. I will always love the classic blue denim wash, but this black, distressed pair just speak to me!
Here are some of my favorite denim shorts for the summer!
Do you all like the high-waisted trend? What about high-waisted bikinis? I am still trying to get on board with that one! As always, thank you for reading and sharing! -A
