How to Style High-Waist Skirts?

When it comes to high waist skirts , you are sure to be familiar with them. When you are a child, your mother perhaps always required you to wear high-waist pants or skirts to keep you warm. But when you have grown up, you will find that high-waist skirts can also modify several figure defects.

So today, a high-waist skirt has already been one of the must-haves in many girls’ wardrobes. Maybe sometimes you would like to be a hot girl wearing low-waist pants or skirts, but a high-waist skirt should also be prepared for lengthening your legs in terms of visual effect. If you do not know whether you are suitable for high-waist skirts and how to match it with other clothes or accessories, then you can just read this passage, and we will tell you these information step by step.

High-waist skirts are with quite a long history. In ancient Egyptian portraits, we can even see that the waistline of women's skirts almost reaches their chests. Of course, the waistline of skirts today will not be that high. Till today, the high-waist skirts have been retained. It can be called as a miracle.

For many fashion experts, they are unusually sensitive to the current fashion trends. Before buying each piece of clothing, they will definitely consider whether the style is popular recently. If you would like to ask: are high-waist skirts popular this autumn? Then the answer is absolutely yes. High waist skirts are so classic that you can see girls wearing them from the summer to the autumn.

Actually, high-waist skirts can also be divided into several types. After all, as long as the waistline of a skirt is higher than that of other skirts, then it can be called as a high-waist skirt. Generally speaking, the high-waist skirts mainly include:

💖The straight ones. Straight skirts are generally slimmer than other types. Therefore, they might not be very suitable for relatively plump ladies.

💖A-line ones. This kind of skirts is usually wider as it goes down. So it is more friendly to those with wider waist and hips.

💖Sun skirts. Usually sun skirts are much looser than skirts of other shapes and styles. As you turn around, the hem of the skirt spreads out into the shape of the sun. This type of skirt is a good choice for “pear shape” figure. Although high-waist skirts are always popular, it is better not to blindly follow the trend, but to consider whether you are suitable for this kind of skirt or not above all, and then style it in a fashionable way.

Actually, high-waist skirts can not be said to be suitable for everyone. But for people of certain figure shapes, they can be regarded as a saver. So who is suitable for high-waist skirts?

Above all, those who are the most suitable for high-waist skirts are those with relatively short legs. As for why high-waist skirts are so popular, the first reason is that high-waist bottoms always make your legs look longer. Perhaps no one would refuse this, regardless of whether they are men or women. Even people with long legs would not refuse to make their legs look longer. So ladies with relatively short legs are more fascinated by high-waist skirts.

Secondly, women with broader abdomens are also very suitable for high-waist skirts. If you wear a low-waist skirt, then obviously, people's eyes will stay more on your exposed abdomen. In this case, if the abdomen is broader, the overall effect of the skirt may not be very good. But on the contrary, if you wear a high-waist skirt, then your abdomen will not be very eye-catching. Therefore, this figure defect can be effectively covered.

In addition, high-waist skirts are also a good choice for ladies with rectangular figure shapes. A higher waistline can better show the slenderness of a woman's waist, making the curves of her body more graceful. Therefore, for ladies with rectangular figure shapes who laces figure curves, a high-waist skirt can help to improve their feminine charming. Ladies with the “pear shape” figure are also suitable for wearing high-waist skirts. But they need to choose A-line or sun skirts. Otherwise, if they choose a straight skirt, then their lower bodies will be highlighted further, then their figure proportion will be imbalanced.

In the meanwhile, high-waist skirts are also suitable for those ladies with wider hips. The reason why high-waist skirts are compatible for women with broader abdomens also is also true here. The higher waistline will certainly make the wider hips not easy to be noticed. But those ladies also need to remember that straight high-waist skirts should not be chosen.

To a large extent, we choose a high-waist skirt because it can modify our figure defects. So how can we wear accessories to further hide our figure defects and make out outfit more perfect?

First of all, in terms of the choice of shoes, a pair of high heels is probably one of the best partners of high-waist skirts. On the one hand, high heels go well with the elegance of the skirts. On the other hand, high heels can make them look even taller, on the basis that high-waist skirts already make their legs appear longer. For sports-style high-waist skirts, a pair of sneakers or loafers are also acceptable.

The second thing that we are going to discuss is the hats. Nearly all types of hats can go well with high-waist skirts. But different hats should be paired with high-waist skirts of different styles. For example, a straw hat can be paired with a tulle skirt with flowing sense. This combination is especially suitable for the scene of beach. A beret is compatible with a woolen or tweed high-waist skirt in winter. As for a bucket hat or a peaked cap, you can combine them with sports-style high-waits skirts.

In most high-waist outfits, a belt is needed. Since the waistline is higher than other skirts or pants, a belt can be used to fix the skirt to prevent it from sliding down. Apart from the practical functions, a belt can also be used to clearly show the waistline of the ladies. Especially for ladies with rectangular figure shapes, a belt is more necessary.

As for bags, different bags should also be paired with skirts of different styles. A delicate clutch is suitable for matching with a high-waist skirt with ruffles, but for sports-style skirts, it may not be that compatible. For a sports-style skirt, you need to take a backpack. A tote bag is relatively versatile. Whether for a sweet high-waist skirt or a sporty one, it is a good choice.

Your choice of jewelry depends on the color and the pattern of your skirt to a large extent. If your skirt is bright in color or is with plenty of patterns, then you can wear relatively long necklace or earrings, but they should not be too bright. On the contrary, if your skirt is in a solid color, especially some cool or dark colors, then you can choose some brighter jewelry.

Most people know that it is better to wear a cropped top with a high-waist skirt. Generally speaking, this is a rule that basically never goes wrong. However, if everyone sticks to this combination, it will be very boring. So how can we match it to achieve a more perfect effect?

A high-waist skirt + a sports vest + a leather jacket
This is a very neat and cool outfit. Since a short top is needed to pair with a high-waits skirt, why not choose a sports vest? In autumn, if it is cold, then you can wear a leather jacket over your vest and skirt. But this outfit may not be that suitable for formal occasions. But you can wear these garments to a gym or a shopping mall.

A high-waist skirt + a tank top + a shirt
Compared with the above outfit, this one is more formal. The combination of a tank top and a shirt on the upper body also creates the sense of layering. You can also choose a shirt that is in the contrasting color with the skirt. But if you would like to avoid making mistakes as a new learner or clothes matching, then it is better for you to choose a shirt in the similar color to that of the skirt.

An asymmetrical top + a high-waist skirt + a pair of long boots
Since ordinary cropped tops may already look boring, you can choose asymmetrical ones to show your uniqueness. A pair of long boots can also make your legs look slimmer and longer. So this outfit will be welcomed by many young girls.

A mock neck sweater + a high-waist skirt
The hem of the top should be shorter to avoid being in conflict with the high-waist skirt, but the neck of the top can be higher actually. Therefore, you can also choose a mock neck sweater in autumn and winter to pair with the high-waist skirt.
