Ah, how the fashion pendulum swings. In the early aughts, it seemed like waistlines couldn’t sling any lower. Sure it was fun, but not universally flattering. So, it is with great joy that I present the silhouette of the moment: the leg lengthening, curve enhancing, and panty-peek-free high-waisted bottom.
Chic and versatile, the styling possibilities are endless. Here are 3 easy ways to rock this style.
Weekend
Low key without being lazy, a high-waisted jean is a must for a stylish off duty look. Tuck in a floaty printed top, cinch with a skinny, brightly colored belt, and top it of with a tomboyish blazer. If you opt for the season’s flared silhouette, look for a jean with length, and style them with a super high chunky heel for a sleek ‘70s chic. You legs will go on for days!
Workplace
We love a high-waisted pencil skirt for work. Stick to a dark, neutral hue for the skirt, a light neutral top, and then wow them with the finishing touches. A bright, cropped cardigan subtly highlights the skirt’s shape, and a sleek patent pump further stretches yours. A fierce chain belt and bold earring add a playful vibe to this conservative ensemble.
Date night
Love a trendy crop top, but not sure how to sport it? Opportunity knocks in the form of a high-waisted mini. Nerves about a less than toned tummy are alleviated by the camouflaging waistline, but the vampy appeal of the crop top remains. For a trendy Taylor Swiftian vibe, why not give one of her signature crop/skirt sets a try? Opt for a girly print and pair with sky high heels for that America’s Sweetheart look.
Make the high rise a high priority for a high fashion fall.
