It’s PARTY time! I love this time of year because I feel like I have invitations lined up for all different kinds of parties! The question is – I’m all about figuring our what to wear to party. There are so many different styles and outfits you can wear when it comes to heading to a party. I’m all about wearing some fun and appropriate fashions for parties. I love looking my best, but there’s the thing – if you’re not the host, you don’t want to be over the top with your style. You want to look great, but also feel your best too!

I found these fabulous high waisted pants at Target. I’m only 5 feet, so I’m going to be honest with you. I never ever thought in a zillion years that I could pull off these pants. Actually – I was certain that I couldn’t! I didn’t think they would work with my body type because I felt like they would make me look smaller than I was. I always was afraid the pants would drag on the ground when I tried to walk. I just wasn’t sure and stayed away from them for years. Even when everyone was going gaga over the high waisted jeans last year, I stayed away and now I’m kicking myself for doing that! I love them!

Again I got these at Target and they had a ton of different styles, too These are from the A New Day collection!

  • Striped wide-leg pants add a statement piece to your wardrobe
  • Dresses up or down for a variety of styling options and occasions
  • Full waistband elastic lends a comfortable, stretchy fit
Carefree style gets an elegant twist with the High-Waisted Wide-Leg Pants from A New Day™. Hitting at the ankle, these pants make for a breezy look with their wide-leg design, and you’ll love the pretty detail of a tie-waist construction. The full waistband elastic keeps you perfectly comfortable while side slit pockets lend functional flair, and you can dress these pants up or down for a multitude of occasions. Slip into sleek heels and a flouncy tank top for a refined, elegant look, or keep it casual with a T-shirt and sneaks for a day out with friends.

How to Wear High Waisted Pants

I have to say, I have some tips for wearing high waisted pants when you’re thinking of what to wear to a party. My personal fashion advice?

  • Wear a tighter tank or tee with them. If the legs are going to be wide and the waist is going to be high, you need to make sure whatever top you’re wearing is tight enough to look flattering for you. You don’t want anything loose or hanging over. It will really look like a bad fit.
  • Make sure you add some color. I grabbed this black tank, but I thought a yellow or rose or red colored tank would be fun to add with this look, too! I feel like you can really have some fun with some colors and patterns. Don’t be afraid to mix patterns either!
  • Wear HIGH HEELS! I feel like this should be my biggest piece of advice here. You want to make sure you have your legs as high as can be when you’re wearing high waisted pants because it will help elongate your leg. I loved these pants as is, but when I popped my heels on – WOAH BABY! They really made the look that much more fun and adorable!

I simple love these pants and really feel like I finally found the perfect go to look when I’m trying to figure out what to wear to a party. We’ve all been there, just staring at all of our clothes and not sure what to wear or how to wear something. I have a closet full of things and still get caught up in, would this look OK for the party?  YES! This look would be perfect for ANY party you have coming up and that you’re going to!

    It is good advice to pair something loose (like the pants) with something tight (like the top), so you’re right on point!
