High-Rise & Wide-Leg
More fabric, please. High-rise wide-leg jeans are here for 2020, and Im pretty happy about it. Whether you like your wide-leg denim to hit the floor or prefer it cropped, as long as its high-waisted, youre good to go. This style of denim is perfect for pairing with feminine blouses or cropped sweaters.
