According to Svelte magazine, high-waisted trousers are making a big comeback this fall. High-rise trousers are preferred by mature women and middle-aged men (age 40+) who still want to look stylish.

Ciara wore a plaid zoot suit with high-waisted bell bottom trousers and a long double breasted coat. The coat matched her shirt and tie. Ciara accessorized her zoot suit with a gold cross and white boots.

Via Svelte magazine:

“Clothes like high-waisted pants for men are pieces of wearable art that enhance and transform your look whether you hit the gym or not.”

Svelte magazine notes that high-waisted trousers have been in existence for a long time, but it takes confidence to pull off the style.

“One reason is that high-rise pants have been stereotyped to be for old-fashioned grandpas or young nerds who hike their pants up to their chests. Some even think it’s a feminine piece.”

But that’s not the case. Men who wear high-waisted pants are usually among the most confident in their style choices. High-waisted pants are stylish pieces that look great when paired with the right top or a floor length coat.

Via GQ magazine:

“High-waisted trousers are especially graceful — and hip — when paired with a baggy silhouette (think Miles Davis in some tropical wool pleated dress pants and a relaxed polo sweater).”
