10 pairs of low-rise jeans that are actually easy to style
For years, super-flattering high-waisted jeans in their many incarnations – skinny, Mom, boyfriend, kickflare – ruled our off-duty wardrobes. But, as Nineties and Noughties fashion has slowly found itself in favour once again, the ultra low-rise jean has made a firm comeback. The style has been seen all over the catwalks for the past few seasons, and has won over A-listers and fashion editors alike. However, the average consumer tends to be a little nervous to head back to low-slung denim, but there's no need to be.
Unlike in the early 2000s when our uniforms consisted of hip-hugging bootleg jeans teamed with extreme crop tops and pointed kitten heels, the low-rise denim trend this time around is much less extreme. On the catwalks, we've seen Miu Miu, Isabel Marant and Stella McCartney put a modern spin on the low-rise, experimenting with baggier silhouettes and styling them with oversized blazers and chic knitwear. Meanwhile, Hailey Bieber has made a case for low-slung with a white tee, Zendaya has embraced a baggier fit and Bella Hadid has made it work with layering.
Ready to give the trend another try? Below, we present the best low-rise jeans available to shop right now. From designer denim to more affordable styles, these are the 10 best pairs to buy right now.
Loulou Studio
If you are nervous to try the low-rise trend, we recommend opting for a baggier fit. This style from Loulou Studio is a great option – the dark navy wash and relaxed silhouette make them easy to style for day-to-day, but they can easily be dressed up for night.
