Beauty : WEARING THE FABULOUS HIGH WAISTED SKIRT

Skirts are amongst the wardrobe must haves for any woman and are definitely a piece of fashion clothing that are always in vogue. I am not left behind in this, even though after bearing children a number close to a football team, I still have a waist for wearing my trendy skirts, and I love them!

Skirts are amongst the wardrobe must haves for any woman and are definitely a piece of fashion clothing that are always in vogue.

I am not left behind in this, even though after bearing children a number close to a football team, I still have a waist for wearing my trendy skirts, and I love them! What I like about skirts is the feminine look they give to women who wear them. From those formal straight fit skirts to the flared and layered skirts, there are number of patterns in this women’s clothing. High waisted skirt is one such piece of fashion wear that gives you a classy look. With a lot of options in tops that you can consider pairing with a high waisted skirt, it’s definitely a versatile piece of clothing fashion for the season.

High waisted skirt is now the ultimate ladies wear that gives a stylish look to any woman who has worn it the way it should. Picking the right pattern, one can wear any desired look, be it formal, casual or a completely sizzling look, they always look hot.

High waisted skirts can also be an all round clothing for any woman. From the office straight to a party, these skirts knock it off whatever the occasion is. For a formal event high waisted of the A-line or pencil fit skirts are the way to go, one can pick those in shades of gray, navy and black for the ultimate formal attire. For casual wear, you can go for sheer and lightweight fabrics. The horizontally layered skirts with a broad waist band are simply awesome as evening wear too.

The small and broad pleated high waisted skirt also looks unique. A casual high waisted skirt can be the one having pockets at front and a thin contrast coloured belt to hold it in its place can be a fashion statement. For a party, good pick are the ones in jazzy shades like red or hot pink. Beige or off-white coloured pleated skirts with stiff fabrics like cotton and cotton blends is perfect for semi-casual attire.

A mini skirt that is high waisted is another perfect fashion apparel. Apart from this, one can also go for the one with slits, buttons, zipper and unique waist band patterns. High waisted skirts which are of knee length or 1 - 2 inches above/below knees are perfect for formal wear. Those of a shorter length are best as casual wear.

It is good to note that a plain skirt can be paired with plain or printed top and printed skirt is best to be paired with plain tops. You must essentially tuck in the tops, be it a shirt or a blouse. Adding a belt thin or broad is best way to accessorize the attire, Make sure the belt goes well with the top and skirt. Remember not to pair flat footwear with high waisted skirts, this will look too dull. Go for medium heels in dress shoes, pumps or sandals. If you don’t want high heels you can pick those with just 1-1½ inch of pencil heel. Make sure that shoes are not too flashy and match well with the attire. Hold a matching clutch bag to give a finishing touch to the attire.

Since high-waisted skirts have been a top pick this season, they have steadily made their way to the most fashionable closets and have been sold in huge numbers. For work or dressier occasions, the high-waisted skirt offers plenty of comfort and encourages the hourglass figure for almost all body types anytime of the day and for every occasion.
