I don't tuck, but I think a semi tuck would work if you want to try it. I don't because I also have to deal with a post-pregnancy body. I'd rather belt over a top than tuck. Belting works for me if I also wear a vest or jacket so the belt is on the inside. Experiment to see what works best for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-high-waist-skinny-jeans-styling#post-1655273 Thu, 05 May 2016 07:24:03 +0000 Cindy Wyden 1655273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie: semi-tucking in a loose blouse/shirt and large flower pattern/ print can make your upper half look larger. Light or bright colour for the top and dark colour for the jeans will give your body a balance illusion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-high-waist-skinny-jeans-styling#post-1655117 Wed, 04 May 2016 23:18:04 +0000 CocoLion 1655117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoulder pads might help. Don't laugh. You can sneak them underneath blouses and shirts. </p> <p>You could also make sure the high rise skinnies are dark wash without much detail. Then wear a top with a lot of detail like chest pockets and collar detail. A statement necklace might also balance things out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-high-waist-skinny-jeans-styling#post-1655072 Wed, 04 May 2016 21:37:28 +0000 Aida 1655072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A full or semi-tuck with a belt that's low contrast to the top will also help keep your torso from looking too short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-high-waist-skinny-jeans-styling#post-1655069 Wed, 04 May 2016 21:34:45 +0000 crazyone 1655069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also get around this by full-tucking but blouson-ing out the blouse so that it sits longer on the body and hides the transition point from shirt to pants. Pull a little bit of the top out all-around and and let it form a band around the waist. &nbsp;This obviously works better with soft, roomier tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-high-waist-skinny-jeans-styling#post-1655066 Wed, 04 May 2016 21:30:30 +0000 catgirl 1655066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you short-waisted? The high fitted waist may be emphasizing the difference between your top and bottom half. Hopefully you can post pics so we can sort it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-high-waist-skinny-jeans-styling#post-1655064 Wed, 04 May 2016 21:29:48 +0000 Angie 1655064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried <b>semi tucking </b>a soft top with a roomy fit?

I love high waist jeans as they hold my post pregnancy tummy in. I have a high waist skinny jeans and I have been wanting to style them with a tucked in top. But something looks off. I feel as though my upper half is too small when i tuck in. Am i doing something wrong? Is there a way to style these jeans? I like the tuck in trend. Please advice. </p>
