By now you might have noticed the 90’s making a come back in today’s street fashion with the same cut of jeans and skirts worn by our mothers. Embrace it! High-waisted shorts that sit just at or slightly below the belly button slim your waist, lengthen your legs, and draw positive attention to your backside ;-)
Like these looks? Check them out at http://www.etsy.com/shop/LCmintvintage! (You’ll also find cute vintage accessories and other customized apparel.)
To avoid the ‘Mom Jeans’ effect, avoid pleated looks, tightness, and make sure the crotch doesn’t ride up to high...(no 9” zippers). If you're creating a DIY pair of cropped denim shorts, give the look an edge by showing off more thigh ;-)
Disclaimer: Granted, we all have different body types. However, for the majority, mid/high rise cuts work better than the muffin top low-rise. Also, with a DIY cropped denim style, you get to control the length. For dressier styles of pants and skirts, consider other details such as the flare width in the thigh and zipper length.
