While low-rise denim is certainly making a comeback, its resurgence can’t change the fact that the best high-waisted jeans never go out of style. They’re a versatile, comfortable wardrobe essential that you can wear (and feel confident in) year-round—and no closet is complete without at least a pair or two of the hip-hugging silhouette, no matter the season.
