How to Style Low-Rise Jeans

Low-rise jeans are back in a big way. Their resurgence might be unexpected, but it doesn’t have to be intimidating. Here, we break down several ways to make low-rise denim work for your own personal style while staying on-trend.

While the standard rise runs anywhere from 7” to 8”, L’AGENCE low-rise jeans are constructed with 8.5” rises. Crafted to dip slightly lower in the front and higher in the back, they deliver the look of a low-rise while providing a secure fit.  Once you’ve found the perfect pair of hip-huggers, making them work for your own personality is the fun part. Find your inspiration with some of our ideas!

Playing With Angles: Styling Low-Rise Jeans With Crop Tops and Bodysuits

Wearing cropped sweaters/tees eliminates the need to tuck your top into your jeans–convenient! If you prefer a tucked-in look, try low-rise jeans with full-coverage bodysuits to make an outfit with stress-free, sleek lines.

A low-rise style will often create a lengthening effect from the neck to the waist, which makes them great for balancing with fitted bodysuits, printed or cropped blouses, and belts to add contrast. Wearing low-rise jeans with cardigans and jackets will also add lines to break up the outfit, creating a variety of silhouettes for you to play with.
