TREND: HIGH-WAISTED SKIRTS

My friends will probably roll their eyes at this post. I’ve been known to overdo this trend a bit. Read: More often than not, I am found wearing some sort of high-waisted ensemble. Fortunately, the look is quite flattering, easy to pull off, and versatile enough to wear for day, night, or even on the job.

FOR DAY

Going high-waisted by day is not only comfortable, but instantly and easily put together.

• Wear them with basics.

• Don’t be afraid to mix patterns.

• Let your accessories downplay the look.

FOR NIGHT

Wearing this trend out at night is my go-to look, because it’s easy to dress up or dress down.

• Pair patterned skirts with a dressy top or blazer

• Add a cinching belt to lend structure.

• With such a comfortable silhouette, go daring with shoes.

FOR WORK

Dating back to the era depicted by Mad Men, the high-waisted skirt is the perfect nine to five outfit.

• Work with proportions, balancing a shorter skirt with a bigger top.

Peace,
