high-waisted pants

Navel-covering trousers style

High-waisted pants sit at or above the natural waist, typically near the navel, rather than resting on the hips.

The style flatters many body types by elongating the legs and defining the waist.

High-waisted pants cycle in and out of fashion; they dominated the 1940s and 1970s, fell out of favor in the low-rise era of the early 2000s, and returned strongly in the 2010s: She paired high-waisted pants with a cropped top.
