High-waisted skirts can be just as bad as high-waisted shorts. However (at least to me), high-waisted skirts are more tolerable than high-waisted shorts. I think back to some short and mid-length dresses in which the skirt part seems more like it extends from the bustline. That's what I think about in regards to high-waisted skirts. The reason why I don't completely like high-waisted skirts is because I don't think they look very good. You have to build the skirt to rest on the hips while extending upward to support the waistline. You can do so, but the end result doesn't look very good. Then too, do you really want people to think you have a short torso? My advice: I wouldn't wear these. There may be some cute skirt out of the blue that has me showing praise. But in actuality, bad idea. Bad idea even if you want to provide the illusion of a shorter torso and longer legs. I could tolerate ladies wearing belts around their belly or just below the bustline. I CANNOT tolerate high-waisted skirts. I ask again... is the issue of unexpected showing of butt crack THAT bad to the point where someone tries to offer these high-waisted bottoms in a variety of styles?

I say again, the only high-waisted material I'd wear (if I were a lady) would be high-waisted trousers at the office or for spending a Saturday evening having fun. Ditch the high-waisted shorts AND the high-waisted skirts. I tolerate skirts more than shorts, but high-waisted bottoms can look absolutely horrid, especially when done absolutely wrong.

I actually like the high waisted skirts; its sort of a throwback to...I'm not sure 1930s? Well at least in my mind it is. I have some very short vintage blouses that were mean to be tucked into a high waisted pair of trousers or skirt so it works. Plus, I scored a nice deep purple Vivienne Westwood and black Acne skirts on the cheap.

I find that they are really good for giving you a better silhouette, as they sort of push in my flubby tum and make me stand up straight.

been wearing it since last year summer! it seems like prada s/s 07 is finally kicking in. i liked it more when there werent so many people wearing it...now, it's every where! though i do love high waist skirts

H&M was one of the earliest retail stores to carry high waist skirts i think, i brought two from there.

What kind of jackets do you wear with them?
My jackets are all rather classic and I look too severe when I'm wearing my high waisted skirt

With high waisted skirts, I always wear either a fitted short Jacket or a tailored coat up to the knees with a Waist belt to accentuate the High waist theme in my clothes.

i honestly love this look, so it's a shame it's already getting really overdone in the london indie scene. last week at after skool club literally every other girl was wearing some variation on a high waisted, form fitting pencil skirt with a vest or bandeau, a lot like the pics of mary kate and jenny lewis above. it does look soo hot though, i can't resist! the proportions just feel very modern.

I'm trying to get my hands on a high waisted skirt, not full length but past the knee, with quite a thick waist band that isn't fitted apart from the waist. I've been hankering after something like this since seeing Carrie is something similar on an old SATC episode. But can't find anything like it, they are all short at the moment.

I love high-waisted skirts, I feel they do way more wonders for the backside than high-waisted pants.

Does anyone know where I can get a short high-waisted pencil skirt? All I've seen are knee-length and I want something a tad shorter and can't find one anywhere.

My recent outfits which included high waisted skirts!

And the other one which looks almost identical to Ashley Olsen's outfit in #7! The funny bit about this is that the skirt I'm wearing is my netball skirt!

Sorry the photos aren't the best!

Wow, what amazing outfits! I love the big t-shirt with the little skirt! Looks soo cute.

 

[quimby]

^^ nice.

so it seems like you can just haul up a low/normal-waisted skirt, secure it with a belt, and voila...! high waist. i might try that.
