It’s true what they say; fashion trends never really go away.
They just die down for a bit, wait in limbo, then come back to life after a handful of decades.
When I was younger, my mom was in high-waist bottoms all the time. In high school and university, everyone wore skinny jeans and midrise jeans (I’m really showing my age here). Now? High-waisted shorts and jeans are back—with a vengeance.
According to the creator, these jeans could have been called “high waisted skinny jeans 2.0,” and it would have still made sense.
As you can see from the preview photos, they’re not wrong.
The mesh molds to your Sims’s frame beautifully and comes in ten different colors. There are also ten extra shades for the version with the belt accessory!
Coincidentally, so are 30-second DIY videos on TikTok. Why not combine the two into a pair of high-waist denim shorts with cute, vintage-y, iron-on decals?
One can never have too many pairs of dependable denim shorts.
And since the current trend of the decade seems to be bottoms that can be hitched all the way up to the ribcage, then that’s what we’re sticking with. These come in five different colored denim swatches.
The Sims 4: Jungle Adventure came with a cute pair of light-wash jeans with colorful pockets.
Areylia-sims created a more stylish version with a high-waist and ripped-knees. If you’ve got the pack installed, highly recommend you check these babies out.
You can choose either clean or ripped jeans with the Jungle Adventure palette (13 colors) or the EA Maxis Match palette (21 colors).
9. Casie Jeans by AHarris00Britney and ayoshi-sims
I love it when TS4 CC creators convert custom meshes in Alpha CC to Maxis Match—and vice-versa!
It gives Simmers who are very particular about textures a chance to experience the items for themselves.
In the case of these MILF Shorts by Savage-Sims, littlecrisps retextured the Alpha CC bottoms, split them into two styles (with belt and without), and created 22 color options for both.
That’s a total of 44 new high-waisted shorts for your Sim to try.
11. Amara Skinny Jeans (High Waisted) by purrsephonesims
Purrsephonesims’ Amara Skinny Jeans are a pair of simple, straightforward denims that close high above the waist and end roughly above the ankles (for that nice, stylish cutoff look).
It comes in 24 shades of denim blue and light-wash grey.
The graphic cartoon patches really help sell that narrative.
Funnily enough, even the little ripped-out chunk in the lower-left leg of the shorts makes this item cuter; like an artfully distressed fashion feature that somehow emphasizes a youthful concept.
These are recolors of those pretty Go Baby pants from Trillyke.
I had to include a separate listing for them because, come on. Look at those swatches. I would pay good money for a pair of high-quality celestial jeans IRL.
If you’ve ever looked for custom skinny jeans, custom high-waist jeans, and/or custom ripped denim pants, you probably found half a dozen retextures or recolors of saurus’ Jellybean Jeans.
There’s a reason for that, and it’s that this mesh is bomb.
These cute denim numbers are accessorized by a neat leather belt and classic frayed edges. They also have this slight inward slant to them that – according to the creator – can actually lift your Sim’s bum!
Can’t confirm that it does, but the effect is definitely there.
The name is actually a spot-on description for this CAS item.
It’s, quite literally, just jeans.
High-waisted denim pants that are kind of long and kind of slouchy, but they look like a closet staple. Comes in six shades of blue and then neutral swatches.
And last, but certainly not the least, is this snazzy pair of high-waist denim jeans by citrontart.
Stylish, dependable, and decidedly flattering for most body types, these jeans come in eleven designs; five solid-colored swatches and six swatches with subtle details and patterns. The variation is a great blend of fashionably flashy and understated.
