What A Waist!
By December 18


A few years ago, high waisted pants might have made you feel like Steve Urkel minus the suspenders. Today, higher waistlines = chicer ensembles.

High waisted skirts and pants work great for curvy girls because they eliminate the dreaded “muffin top” and give you a sleek hourglass silhouette. Ooh la la! Don’t believe us? Check out how fab America Ferrera looks when she rocks a high waisted pencil skirt.

It’s easy to work high waistlines into your wardrobe. If you’re dressing up, try pairing high waisted dress pants with a button up top or turtleneck sweater tucked in. Or, swap the pants for a pencil skirt and add funky tights and heels. For a more casual look, slip into a pair of high waisted jeans. Add a belt to any combination for instant va-va-voom.
