Cheap & Chic: Black High-Waisted Shorts

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:00:22 -0700

While Miranda Kerr took her high-waisted black shorts on a tropical vacation, Lauren Conrad wore hers out on the town with an Alexander Wang top. It goes to show how versatile high-waisted black shorts are. They can weather extreme heat and go party hopping with you, too!

As exemplified by both Miranda and Lauren, you should tuck your top into your shorts, to show off the high waist. Just make sure your top is not too frilly or loud; the high-waist style is already a tad trendy on its own.

FabSugar — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 13:00:22 -0700

We've all learned it's difficult to pull off high-waisted anything. But fifthofapril shows us high-waisted shorts done right. The key is to keep the rest of the ensemble minimal. And that's what she did with her white ruffled blouse, patent bag and shoes.

Here's what she's wearing:

Top: Inner Child
Shorts: Odyn
Shoes: Steve Madden "The Hot" Tortoise flats
Bag: Hayden Harnett Croc Trim Mercer Triple C Satchel
Bracelets: Grey & Black Vita

Congrats to fifthofapril!

Trend Alert: High-Waisted Denim Skirts

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 13:10:22 -0700

Inquiring fashionista minds want to know where to get stylish and flattering high-waisted denim skirts like the one Isabell wore in her California cool Look of the Day. High-waisted denim skirts are great for Summer because they: a) reflect the high-waisted trend, and b) they keep your legs cool in the sun. They go great with just about every shoe, especially gladiators, semi-flat sandals and sky-high Mary Janes. Come Fall, you can even wear them with some textured tights. So all together now, let's get high...waisted, that is!

Trend Alert: High-Waisted Jeans

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 11:21:22 -0700

The 70s are back! What with wide legged jeans in full force and now high-waisted jeans, it is clear the skinny and low rise have competition. I am elated - you all know by now I have a thing for the carefree styles of the dazed & confused decade. While the high waist was around long before the 70s, try the 50s, it was given sex appeal in the decade of disco. I prefer this look worn with a wide leg, it just complements any body way better. Either way, if you've got the feelin' go for it!

Who Wore It Better? High Waisted Skinny Jeans

FabSugar — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 17:00:22 -0700

Back in March, Jennifer Lopez proved curvy women can pull off high-waisted skinny jeans. Now, Deal or No Deal model Claudia Jordan is attempting to bring back those jeans. It's a toughie to pull off so I give props to both women for trying. Jennifer deserves a few extra points for those YSL pumps, layered bangles, and cool vest. Who do you think wore them better?

New York Fashion Week Trend Alert: High & Waisted

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 12:00:22 -0700

Many have been on the fence about this trend, but if you haven't embraced it yet, Fab friends, it is time to get High & Waisted. I am a fan of the high waist - it can really accentuate a woman's figure - but I don't like overly dramatic high waists. A more conservative version for me please. Come Spring, there's high waists galore so hopefully you'll find your niche. To prepare yourself, check out some bright high waists at Phillip Lim, some quirky ones at Alice + Olivia and some sporty ones a la Cynthia Rowley.

Look of The Day: The High Waist via Skirt

FabSugar — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 15:53:44 -0800

I know there are mixed feelings about the high waist trend. I have a feeling about 50% of you will love it, and about 50% will hate it. As for those who are on the fence, here is an example of the high waist via skirt. Eugiebird wears it with the help of a thick corset belt, which is definitely a sexy way to go.

She is today's Look Book Look of the Day!

Here's what she put together:

White blouse: Unique
Black pencil skirt: Unique
Black corset belt: A present
Grey tights: Zara
Black pumps: Vavilon

Congrats Eugiebird!

I've got some news that may disappoint many: high-waisted jeans are on the rise. I just read something in Women's Wear Daily about it and I'm starting to see them out and about. This may be a jean epidemic for some, and a jean salvation for others. What do you all think about these Blue London High Waisted Jeans, found by jgasia in the Love it or Hate it? group. Love or hate this incoming denim trend?

Trend Alert: High-Waisted Trousers

FabSugar — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 08:30:22 -0700

It's time ladies. It's time to say au revoir to anything low waisted - the days of baring the midriff are so over. It's time to examine your womanliness and embrace it. Oh, and your power too. High-waisted trousers are a throwback to power women, think Katherine Hepburn and Sigourney Weaver in Working Girl, minus the shoulder pads, of course. I even recently asked myself: When was the last time I bought a pair of solid, classic trousers? Now is the time.

P.S. If the trousers are cuffed, heels are a must for polished perfection!

Janiesse High-Waisted Foxy Jeans: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 08:50:33 -0700

High-waisted jeans have been around for a while now and I was even brave enough to don a pair! So it's safe to assume that I like these Janiesse Foxy Jeans, $215, that Jessica Alba owns. Yes, they are super-duper high and probably really uncomfortable, but on the right person, they can look absolutely smashing. Do you agree?
