The prevailing extra-long and oversize trend for tops has kept jeans’ waistbands covered for a very long time. But now, thanks to trends such as tucked-in blouses seen on Kate Middleton, Zoe Saldana, and Jessica Biel and loose cropped tops seen on Kristen Stewart, Vanessa Hudgens, and Ashley Tisdale, we now get to see more and more of jeans’ waistbands!
This small act of tucking in our tops has not been overlooked by denim labels, of course. They have noticed that we are doing it often enough for them to start adding a little extra to the waistbands of their new jeans. What we used to try to stop from creating muffin top problems is now actually worth showing off. And embellishments that we used to find only on the legs or pockets of jeans are now also found on waistbands.
All the details are now on the waist. Get some inspiration from the following jeans with detailed, contrast-colored, and contrast-trimmed waistbands.
