Low-Rise Jeans and Pants Are Happening—Here's How to Pull Them Off

If you wore jeans in the early-to-mid 2000s, there's a very good chance that they were low-rise. But as the years went by, the rises went up (and up, and up). It's now 2020, and one of Levi's most popular styles is its Ribcage Jeans. Despite this, there seems to be a desire to let belly buttons get some air, because I've encountered more and more celebs wearing low-rise jeans as of late, and I think this is just the beginning.

Unlike the last time low-rise jeans were popular and it wasn't uncommon to see celebs wearing very tight, very low jeans with tiny crop tops, most of the low-rise jean outfits I've been seeing are infinitely more wearable. The jeans and pants are typically much looser, which adds to the effortless look, and the items paired with them are more polished and sophisticated. Still not completely convinced? I hear you. Keep scrolling to see how seven very stylish celebs styled low-rise pants and jeans and get the best tips for pulling them off, based on each look.

As Hailey Bieber so effortlessly showed here, a cool pair of low-rise jeans don't need all the bells and whistles. Adding a tank top (it doesn't have to be cropped) and cool heels make for a perfect mix.

Rihanna isn't typically one to play it safe, but by pairing low-rise trousers with a sleek blazer and heels, she proved that the polarizing trend can even be fit for the office.

It's best to show the waistband when wearing low-rise jeans (otherwise, what's the point?), so if you'd prefer to not wear a top that's cropped, follow Katie Holmes' lead and tuck it in.

Slouchy trousers are incredibly chic and on-trend, so there happen to be tons of them on the market. And they're even better when paired with a matching blazer. As you can see, EmRata showed a large portion of her torso with a low-rise suit, but any type of top will do. I'm partial to a bodysuit with this look.

If you want to look current, it's always a good idea to look to the '90s, as ironic as it seems. Bella Hadid did just that with her recent grunge-inspired low-rise look, and she nailed it.

It's never a bad idea to pair any denim trend with basics, and that goes for low-rise jeans as well. Take a cue from Cindy Crawford and wear your go-to versatile items with low-rise jeans. Bonus points if they're flared too (another major denim trend right now).

Priyanka Chopra not only wore low-rise skinny jeans, but she also paired them with an equally nostalgic early-2000s top style—and it worked. She made the outfit just modern enough by pairing the look with athletic sneakers.

As Hailey Bieber showed us all, low-rise jeans are particularly successful when worn with something very chic and stylish, like her leather trench. Even though she's wearing sneakers and baggy jeans, the trench (or it could be another fancy item, like a statement top or a chunky gold necklace) provided instant polish.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
