Madewell High-Waisted Wide-Leg Jeans! (& Link Up!)

May 18, 2017

When Nordstrom had triple-point rewards at the beginning of the month, I wanted to treat myself to something a little different, so I thought I’d try this new high-waist wide-leg cropped silhouette! Well, I use the term “new” loosely of course … more of a 70’s throwback, right?

Jeans – Madewell High Rise Crop /Shoes – Donald J. Pliner  Ellis /Sunglasses – Illesteva /Sweater –Old Navy  /Bag – Old – Love this Lodis leather tote /Watch – Daniel Wellington Classic Petite /Earrings –Nordstrom hoops

Are they flattering?

Well, it depends on your shape of course. I certainly admit they aren’t the *most* flattering cut for a pear shape like me. But I feel very cute in them, so there’s that! Honestly, my husband said they look “weird.” But you know … men.

How can I wear them?

These jeans have lots of versality. I styled them with one of my go-to combinations, black and white with pops of red. I plan to dress them up for date night with some sassy heels or booties. They also would totally work with flip flops or sneakers for a Saturday casual look.  And best of all, I think they will transition right from spring to summer to fall perfectly.  I’m already planning an fall outfit with knee high boots and a ribbed turtleneck sweater!

    I like these jeans, but not on me. They don’t flatter my figure at all. I’ve given up trying! I like how you’ve styled them though. xx

    • Reply Dawn Lucy May 18, 2017 at 3:43 pm

      They aren’t too flattering on me either, but yeah, sometimes I just want to wear something anyway!! ;P

    I love the red accessories with them! 🙂 Culottes aren’t for me in any fabric as I’m petite but some people (like yourself!) really rock them.

    Thank you for the link up!

    Hope you have a lovely weekend ahead of you 🙂

    I would have to try on a pair and judge because i don’t think I have ever tried a pair on……..will have to go find some and find out!

    I think it’s nice to have different silhouettes, Dawn. It’s no different than my longer midi dress, and I thought I should shorten it, but everyone else liked the length!!
    Besides, if/when you get tired of them, you could always shorten them!!

    I love the jeans! I’ve been looking for some cropped flare jeans. I really like how you’ve styled yours with the red mules and striped top.

    Don’t give your hubby’s comment a second thought, dearest Dawn…these wide-leg cropped jeans are fantastic!! I love the way you styled them with your striped top and cherry-red mules today (the perfect spring look!) and I agree – they’ll be just as chic in the summer with sandals and for fall with ankle boots!! You go, denim diva!! 😀

    ha-ha! Husbands don’t like it whenever we wear something a little different. I’m not a fan of the pants. I tried on a pair myself and I just thought I looked ridiculous. But I always love them on everyone else. I really love your shoes!

    You look stylish in your new look! I love your stripe top and mules. This look would be perfect for Memorial Day and Fourth of July.

    I’m personally really loving this silhouette right now. No doubt about it, the cut just feels fresh and modern. You look amazing in yours and I especially like them with classic striped t-shirt and the red accessories. Very fun!
