Skirts with high waist

Modern fashion tirelessly surprises fashionistas with new forms, fabrics and silhouettes, but still, the most beloved things are the echoes of long-forgotten trends. This also applies to the skirt with a high waist. Many believe that this style was invented in recent years, but fashion historians say that skirts with an inflated waist were born in the forties of the last century. And this appearance was not accidental. Women are tired of the direct silhouettes of the 1920s and simple outfits of the '30s. The brands Dolce & Gabbana and Versace offered the ladies a life-saving silhouette that emphasized the waist and made it possible to show their femininity and personality.

Today such skirts are present in the collections of Prada, Versace, Dior, Carolina Herrera, Balmain and D & G offering ladies a lot of variations on the theme of an overstated waist. Girls who prefer bold experiments with appearance can try on a short skirt with an overstated waist, and traditional style adherents will choose a classic straight skirt with an overstated waist. Which skirt to choose for you? Let's try to understand.

Styles of skirts with an overstated waist

Fashion offers girls a few variations of skirts that look good with a high waistline:

  1. Skirt corset with an overstated waist. Styling under the corset can be done by attaching in the side or back of the decorative lacing, or wearing a wide belt consisting of several thin straps. This skirt accentuates attention to the thin waist and creates the illusion of a tightener.
  2. Short skirts. This model is rather provocative, since it flaunts all the charms of the girl, beginning with rounded hips, ending with the waist. Mini skirts with an overstated waist will be appropriate at youth parties, but not at work or in formal meetings.
  3. Long skirt with high waist. This model creates a whole image, drawing a shape. Skirts can be lush, pleated, tight and even include a provocative cut. The maxi length is suitable for all types of figures and is an unconditional trend of the last seasons.
  4. Skirt with basque and high waist. As already mentioned above, a high waist is a wand for any figure. And what if the effect is supported by a supermodern Basque, which is known to be able to completely "reshape" the figure? Be sure that this outfit will make your figure amazingly feminine.

Choosing between the models listed skirts you need to consider the event that you are going to visit. If this is a meeting with a strictly specified dress code, then stop on a pencil skirt, and if this is an informal meeting, then you can experiment with fabrics and flowers and pick up something interesting, for example a leather skirt with an overstated waist.

Proven combinations

Stylists say that with these skirts you need to be cautious, as they immediately attract attention to the figure. If you have a protruding tummy, it's better not to risk and put a flared skirt with a belt, but if there is no problem, you can experiment with flowers and tissues. Consider the most successful combination of skirt and top:

  1. Shortened top. This combination has already been tried on by Pippa Middleton, Fergie and Adriaea Lima. The top can be sewn from the same material as the skirt or have a monochrome calm color. Pay attention to a similar duo fit only girls with a great figure.
  2. Blouses. In your arsenal there are blouses from chiffon, silk and satin. Filling a blouse in a skirt, you will emphasize the waist line and create the image of an exquisite lady. A thick strap at the waist will be the finishing touch in the image.
  3. Shirt. If you have a meeting with the management, then your choice is a one-color shirt and a black skirt with an overstated waist, but if it's a friendly meeting with friends, then you'd better wear a bright skirt and shirt with prints.
