If you’re short waisted: • Choose mid-rise jeans (ultra-high can shorten you) • Avoid super cropped styles • V-necks, open collars, and vertical details create length • Skip heavy waist detailing that cuts your torso in half

——————-

If you’re long waisted: • High-rise jeans are your best friend • Cropped or waist-length tops balance proportions beautifully • Front tucks + belts help define your waist • Boxy or long tops? Add structure or a tuck to avoid extra length on top
✨ Style isn’t just about trends—it’s about understanding your proportions.

Linking my top 3 high rise jeans and top 3 mid rise jeans here for you (and my outfit too)

When your jeans hit at the right spot, everything looks more polished:
✔ legs look longer
✔ outfits feel intentional
✔ no more bunching, dragging, or awkward crops

1️⃣ Put on the shoes you’ll wear most with your jeans
(flats, sneakers, or heels — this matters!)

2️⃣ Stand straight and place a measuring tape at the top of your inner thigh, right where the leg seam would start

3️⃣ Measure straight down the inside of your leg to where you want your jeans to hit
• touching the floor (most versatile option)
• just above the floor
• at the ankle/ cropped

4️⃣ That number = your inseam length

I am wearing the Colette jeans in a 24 regular and they are a 30 inch inseam (I’m 5’3 for reference) Save this for your next shopping trip — your future outfits will thank you 🤍

An easy casual outfit idea - i’ve had a lot of questions recently from women’s struggling with layering. Take a basic button down or denim shirt, and add a sweater over for an instantly polished look- add a wool coat over if it is cold out- I am also loving these loafers and they are a target find they are so comfortable and great if you want to be comfortable, but not wear sneakers!
