A Fashion Editor’s Best Tops to Wear With Low-Rise Trousers Leave a comment


As a fashion editor, I’ve seen a lot of trends come and go. Some are liked, some are disliked, some stand the test of time, and some fade away, but not before having left their mark on our collective consciousness. Low-rise jeans and trousers fall very much into the latter category, or at least they did.

A product of the early noughties, the low-rise silhouette dominated red carpets and music videos everywhere, to the point of becoming a sartorial symbol of the noughties era. But when it came to wearability, the pelvic-bone flaunting cut didn’t have much to offer the average woman, and so the low-rise faded into infamy.
