"Ok ladies, I know what you&amp;amp;#8217;re thinking: &amp;amp;#8220;High-waist and pleated are not two adjectives I want anywhere near my pants. I&amp;amp;#8217;ll skip this post, thanks.&amp;amp;#8221; But, before you turn away from what you think will be a fashion crime, check out this look and then decide! To be entirely truthful, this look would&amp;amp;#8217;ve scared me had I not tried (and bought!) a pair just like this recently, but hear out my pleated-pant rationale: when you wear pleated pants, opt for as high of a waist as you can go (with a tucked-in, fitted top) and buy one size up. (Yes, UP!) The high waist will show off the tiniest part of your body, while the larger size pant will give you a loose, laid-back look. (Note to self: buying too small of a size will have the opposite effect and cling to your lower half, not a look any of us wants!) And if you absolutely can&amp;amp;#8217;t bear the thought of wearing these by themselves, throw on a long boyfriend cardigan over your tight top that will add to your relaxed feel.
