Remember the high waisted jeans which were so hot back in the 1990s? They are back again and are becoming one of the hottest looks for this autumn.

When they are worn well, high waisted pants can be very flattering. That is because rather than the waistband resting around your hips like low-rise jeans, it fits around your natural waist which is the smallest part of your abdomen. This helps to create the sexy feminine silhouette of an hourglass figure.

However, you must be careful when wearing high-waisted jeans because there is always the risk that you will stray too far into mom-jean territory and just look dorky. If your jeans do not fit well or are not the right shape for your body, they can actually accentuate your hips and unfortunately make you look wider than you really are.

If you want to rock this retro 90s style in the most flattering way, here are some tips to keep in mind:

First of all, make sure that you have found jeans which fit well and do not sag or stretch in the waist, bum or crotch area.

It is crucial that the jeans are not too tight on you. You might want to try to squeeze into a size too small to make yourself look slimmer, but it will have the opposite effect as your flesh is squeezed out of the top of the jeans. If you are wearing flared jeans, pair them with high heels or wedges in order to visual elongate the look of your legs.

When wearing the skinny leg style, lean girls can wear flats and curvy girls should wear heels to balance out their proportions. If you choose to wear this style of jeans you should tuck in your top, or you will lose the effect of the slim waistline. Bodysuit blouses work well with this style because they will not result in any bulky fabric bulging around the waistline. Accessorize the jeans with a skinny belt to draw attention to your small waist.

Good things come in small packages, but if you are short will <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogNavigationSearchResultCmd?catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&langId=-1&categoryId=208527&parent_categoryId=203984&viewAllFlag=false&sort_field=Relevance&pageSize=20&beginIndex=1&refinements=category~%5B330513%7C208527%5D">high waisted jeans</a>  look ridiculous on you? Not necessarily, as long as you choose pants that fit your body well. The bottom of the jeans should never cover your entire foot, as this will make you look shorter and negate the elongating effect of the jeans. Wear the jeans with a pair of chunky heels which will balance out the width of the flare and make your legs look as long as possible.

With the right style, anyone can wear this retro 1990s trend and celebrate the return of the high waisted jean.
