Hate it or love it, the best low-rise jeans are trending again. Before you roll your eyes, I want to remind you that these low-slung pants have come a long way since their initial rise to fashion fame in the early 2000s. The best low-rise jeans come in a slew of different styles, be it flared, baggy, or barrel. (And hey, if it’s still not your cup of tea, there will always be the mid-rise and high-waist jeans to lean on.) But you, gentle reader, have come here to embrace the return of the belly-baring pants.
Instead of hugging your midsection, the best low-rise jeans hang off your hips in that oh-so-cool manner. It brings to mind all the icons of the Y2K era who rocked the style, like Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Britney Spears. This style of jeans shows off the torso, and in my opinion, is much more comfortable than a high-rise jean. You’re going to want to style it right, though, as any crop top you have in your wardrobe won’t make a good pairing. Look for tops that reach past your belly button to balance out the lower cut of the pants.
