Here are some tips on how to pick the best version for you :
- To start with, pick another trend from the spring 2012 trend books that you'd like to style the high-waist skirt with. It can be summer layering, androgyny. sports couture or metallic. A high-waist skirt doesn't give solo performances; it need assistance and this where you'd ideally start.
- The length of the skirt is varied this season. It depends on the occasion you're styling the look for. For a high tea or brunch affair, go for one centimeter above or just brushing the top of the knee; specifically if it's a poodle chiffon skirt. Go bold and mini-length for a night out in town. There's also an array of options before you when picking the shape of the high-waist skirt - sharp and tailored or voluminous and girly.
- Unlike its earlier revival, you don't have to tuck-in the blouse or top. This spring, leave the top out and belt it over the skirt for extra precision. Don't be afraid to wear a blazer over a singlet and high-waist skirt - this trend renewal has broken all the previously established rules.
- Pair cleverly; don't mix sheer layering with a mini-skirt, for instance. Categorize the trends you prefer for the season and work with them.
- If skirts aren't your thing then go for high-waist tailored shorts. An example of this thing then go for high-waist tailored shorts. An example of this is seen on the carven spring 2012 runaway. If going for high-waist shorts, keep the length short (mid-thigh and well-fitted), otherwise it'll look a confused version of shorts and pants.
- Don't be afraid to mix pattern on pattern or bold colours together. It's a trend that deserves a whole lot of fun styling.
- You can accessorize with a belt over the skirt and cinch the waist even more so.
