High waisted bottoms are my favorite kind of bottoms. I don’t care if they are shorts, jeans, or just pants – I love them. I fell in love with high waisted pants on accident. I went to the mall one weekend to shop at a sale Hollister was having. I love Hollister’s bottoms, because they make an inseam that fits my short legs! However, their pants can fall more on the pricey side of the spectrum, which is why I was shopping during the sale. I ended up grabbing a pair of high waisted jeans on accident, which turned into one of my best accidents. I asked a few of the other HC girls that share my opinion of why high waisted bottoms are the best:

 

  • “Everyone’s bodies are beautiful – let me say that first and foremost. I love my body and I am comfortable in my own skin. However, I am human. I bloat very easily, whether I am on my period or after I eat a meal. High waisted pants help my tackle my bloating by casually covering up my stomach! I love wearing high waisted bottoms so much that when I wear normal cut, I feel weird!” – Myself (more articles at: http://www.hercampus.com/author/renata-serpico)

 

  • “They are legit amazing! I think they do slim you down a bit when you wear them because the button so high. Also, because they’re actually really versatile you can wear a crop top or a normal shirt just tucked in, which is my personal favorite. They are great and everyone should wear them!” – Sam, our recommendation queen.

  • “They’re ten times more comfortable than normal shorts and I feel much more put together and appropriate in them!” – Ashleigh, our social media director.

  • “They (personally) make my waist a bit slimmer, so they can be really flattering with some shirts. They also kind of make me look like I have a butt.” – Carris, our fearless writer.
