Chances are, you already have a pair of high-waisted jeans sitting in your wardrobe – they are a staple that can be worn any time of year but can often be styled in the same way. If you are looking for outfit inspiration for new, fun ways to style your high-waisted jeans, no matter whether they are light, mid, or dark wash, flared, straight-, or wide-leg, you are in the right place!

We have created this guide on what to wear with high-waisted jeans, with 6 gorgeous outfits that are perfect for the spring, summer, and fall months so you can style your high-waisted jeans for any season. These chic and sophisticated looks are timeless and easy to recreate for yourself at home, plus you can add your own twist to make each look perfectly suited to you and a little more individual.

What To Wear With High-Waisted Jeans

1. Striped Button-Down Shirts

Pair your high-waisted jeans with a striped button-down shirt for a polished and stylish look. This look would work with any high-waisted jeans, although we do love the drama of these exaggerated wide-leg jeans, then you just need to tuck in any striped shirt. A darker color and slimmer fit would ensure a smarter look, while an oversized shirt, left unbuttoned at the neck gives a more relaxed, weekend look. Finish with heels and a top handle bag.

2. Chic Blazers

Blazers and high-waisted jeans are a classic combination that will never go out of style. Stick to straight-leg jeans in light or mid-wash, then style with a neutral sweater and a chic blazer over the top. A black blazer is a timeless option, but you could go for a pop of color or print for a more unique and striking look. Add sneakers and a black bag to complete the look.
