High-waisted skirts
Skirts, the cut of which provides for a high waistline, began to be worn in ancient times, but they gained the greatest popularity during the Empire. Outwardly, such a skirt looks like a half-dress, since its upper part is located much higher than the line along which the woman's natural waist runs.
Visually, this contributes to the formation of a feminine silhouette, characterized by a narrow waist and smoothly contoured hips.
The popularity of skirts with a higher waistline nowadays is also due to their good compatibility with clothes of different styles, thanks to which women of fashion create interesting and very bright images.
Who are they suitable for?
By using the raised waist, the proportion of the silhouette can be improved. Due to the fact that the waist line is shifted upward, the female figure is perceived as slimmer and more elongated.
It is for the above reason that skirts of this cut are especially loved by short girls.
If your figure looks like a rectangle, a high-waisted skirt is also a very good choice. Since it will fit the body a little higher and rise to the chest. Visually, this will give the perception of a thin waist, so as a result, the figure will turn out to be more feminine and harmonious.
Slender girls can wear any high-waisted skirts, but with fullness, this style is less preferable, since it will additionally emphasize the breadth of the silhouette.
Styles
Tulip
Such a skirt with a high waistline looks especially impressive on slender girls who can boast of a proportional figure. It goes well with delicate blouses to create a romantic look, and with a T-shirt or T-shirt for a sporty look. A similar skirt can be worn for a casual walk, for a date, and for a gala reception.
Direct
Skirts of this cut, sitting at the waist above its natural line, help to visually stretch the legs, hide the belly and reduce the waist.
Pencil
In the upper part, the pencil skirt can be decorated with lacing, a zipper, a belt or a belt.
Flared
In fluffy skirts, the high waist gives the impression of having a corset.
Sun and half sun
Short skirts of these styles with a high rise create a flirty, seductive image, and with the help of maxi and midi models, you get a romantic bow.
Bell
The skirt of this style, sewn with a high waist, looks the most romantic. Slender girls look especially advantageous in it. Most often, this type of high-rise skirt has a short length. In summer, such a skirt is combined with sandals, and in cool weather with high boots.
Denim
Various materials are used to make skirts with a high rise, among which jeans are very popular. Models made of denim most often represent pencil and trapeze styles, but there are also fluffy denim sun skirts with a high waist, made of thin denim.
The length of denim models with a waist above the natural line usually reaches the knee, but there are short and midi products.
Length
Short
High waist in mini skirts emphasizes sexuality and femininity. In this outfit, the girl draws attention to the bust and opens beautiful legs. However, such models of skirts are not advised to be worn by beauties with very long legs, as they impair the perception of body proportions.
Midi
Mid-length skirts with a high rise are most often chosen for strict office looks and are presented in straight skirts, for example, in pencil models.
Midi length is also common for high-waisted flared casual skirts.
Long to the floor
Most often, such skirts are worn in the summer season, as well as as an outfit for a gala event. The style and general mood of the image is influenced by the texture of the fabric of the skirt and its color. Overweight girls should look out for models with flaring from a high waist, and slender beauties should look for tight-fitting skirts with a flared bottom ("godet" style).
Popular colors
Black
These high-waisted skirts are especially relevant for business ensembles because they look austere. In this case, the best version of the "companion" is a white shirt, blouse or top tucked into a skirt.
If a black skirt is chosen for a special occasion, then a black blouse, a bright contrasting belt (for example, white or red), as well as shoes to match the belt are selected for it.A black high-waisted skirt, complemented by a bright top, also looks spectacular.
Red
In a scarlet skirt, the waistline of which is high, the girl looks bright and eye-catching. Most often, such a skirt is complemented with a top in black or white. An interesting "companion" to a skirt in red tones can be called a striped or floral top.
White
High-waisted skirts made in pure white look very elegant.
They are matched with a contrasting top, for example, red, blue or black. If a girl has perfect abs, a white skirt looks good with a cropped white top.
Prints
Solid color options for high-waisted skirts are very popular, but products with different prints are no less in demand. Geometric and abstract motives are at the height of fashion.
Thin and large stripes, checks, leopard prints, polka dots, Japanese elements, floral prints, watercolor stains - these and many other designs adorn modern models with a high waist.
Complete with top
A skirt with a high waistline looks good with cropped tops, provided the girl has a flat belly. Their material often repeats the fabric of the skirt, and the colors are often monochromatic, although there are also tops with bright prints.
Knitted tops combined with such a skirt represent a successful youth option.
Older women can also combine a high-rise skirt with a short top that slightly covers the belt if they have a slender, thin figure.
What to wear with?
The best addition to a skirt that has a raised waistline is a fitted top. It can be presented with tops tucked in, narrow blouses, blouses, T-shirts, turtlenecks, as well as cropped jackets with a fitted cut.
An excellent option would be a bodysuit if it matches the skirt in tone and texture. But it is worth giving up on elongated tunics, loose blouses and sweaters for release.
The waistline in such skirts is often decorated with belts and belts, as well as decorative lacing. Delicate jewelry such as long earrings, a pendant on a chain or an elegant bracelet will help complement the look.
A bag in such a bow is most often represented by a small clutch or a product on a chain.
High-waisted midi skirts are well suited to sandals and high-heeled shoes. And short skirts, like long floor-length models, are advised to be combined with shoes on a platform or low speed.
