12 High-Waisted Fashions

Today is not Jessica Simpson's day. The 28-year-old country/pop songstress is being raked over the coals this morning after being spotted at the Radio 99.9 Kiss Country's annual Chili Cookoff in Florida, wearing double-belted high-waist jeans and looking a bit curvier than we're used to seeing her.

This '70s fashion staple is a hard one to pull off, and to give Jessica Simpson and other divas who want to try this look out, we've amassed a collection of high-waist fashions below, from the beautiful to the bizarre and downright nerdy. There's enough variety here to ensure that you look more like Ciara and J.Lo (in the second image) than Jessica Simpson.
