Many have been on the fence about this trend, but if you haven't embraced it yet, Fab friends, it is time to get High & Waisted. I am a fan of the high waist - it can really accentuate a woman's figure - but I don't like overly dramatic high waists. A more conservative version for me please.
Inquiring fashionista minds want to know where to get stylish and flattering high-waisted denim skirts like the one
Isabell wore in her California cool Look of the Day. High-waisted denim skirts are great for Summer because they: a) reflect the high-waisted trend, and b) they keep your legs cool in the sun. They go great with just about every shoe, especially
gladiators,
semi-flat sandals and
sky-high Mary Janes.
Looks like Nicole has been hanging out with Mischa lately because she's adopted
Mischa's new signature style: high-waisted. I am in love with this entire outfit; everything from her vintage
Yves Saint Laurent shades down to her nude Loubs. And though I normally prefer Nicole's hair in a bob, the extensions and dark roots reinforce her badass-yet-girly look.
The 70s are back! What with
wide legged jeans in full force and now high-waisted jeans, it is clear the skinny and low rise have competition. I am elated - you all know by now I have a thing for the carefree styles of the dazed & confused decade.
Mischa Barton sure does love clothes! I appreciate how she takes risks and seems to always be one step ahead of the fashion curve, and this outfit is no different. Her high waisted jeans and yellow top are getting me pumped for
Spring.
I know there are mixed feelings about
the high waist trend. I have a feeling about 50% of you will love it, and about 50% will hate it. As for those who are on the fence, here is an example of the
high waist via skirt.
This time around
New York Fashion Week did not wow me. Some new trends emerged (high waist, plaid, slim silhouette), but too many lingered (metallics, 80s, somber colors). Alas, it's always an exciting whirlwind of fashion.
I've got some news that may disappoint many: high-waisted jeans are on the rise. I just read something in Women's Wear Daily about it and I'm starting to see them out and about. This may be a jean epidemic for some, and a jean salvation for others.
There's no question that Kate Moss is a fashion trendsetter, but now she's trying her hand at being a fashion designer. In
an article in today's Women's Wear Daily confirms
the rumor that Kate just inked a deal to design a line of clothing for super-fabulous British retail chain
Topshop. (Seriously, if you haven't been to Topshop, you should make a pilgrimage to the retailer's London flagship store ASAP.
