Cheap & Chic: Black High-Waisted Shorts

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:00:22 PDT

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.

Our Favorite High-Waisted Shorts For Summer

Hannah Weil — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 08:05:50 PDT

After spying high-waisted shorts on the runway - see Tibi, far left, and Adam's Spring 2011 collection, and then in some of our favorite editorials including a lovely Glamour cover with Freida Pinto, we got the hint - these shorts-up-to-here are too cute to pass up. For starters, we love that a higher waist means we can get away with wearing our cropped knits and tees, while showing off our stems. And, if you prefer to keep it more covered up, high-waisted styles are ideal for tucking in your button-downs and blouses - it makes your outfit seem sharp and helps create an hourglass figure. We've narrowed it down to 10 of our favorites, so just shop our editor's picks to start styling up your own pair.

How to Wear a Bra Top: 3 Ways to Channel Your Inner Kelly Kapowski

Brittney Stephens — Tue, 22 May 2012 10:27:11 PDT

When we first heard that crop tops (and more specifically, bralets) were going to be big for 2012, we had our reservations - it seemed like a look best suited for outdoor music festivals and costume parties - but after seeing the midriff-baring look on the runways at Dolce & Gabbana, Nina Ricci, Prada, and others, we inevitably changed our tune, and are officially smitten with the idea of unleashing our inner Kelly Kapowski. The trend is rooted in '50s-era screen sirens like Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, and Marilyn Monroe, but is also dripping with '90s nostalgia - calling to mind fashion-forward TV characters like Kelly Bundy, Donna Martin, and yes, Ms. Kapowski herself. If you're planning to try the trend this season, here are a few things to consider:

Find the right length for your body (and your confidence level). If you're proud of your tummy, don't be afraid to pick a piece that hits above the belly button. If you're less comfortable showing that much skin, you can still get in on the trend by opting for a top that bares just a sliver of your belly and comes in below your midriff.
Keep it sophisticated. Yes, this trend is inherently sexy and will veer on the side of flirtatious no matter what, but there are ways to go about it that will help you look more retro pinup than '80s video vixen. Wear your crop top with a high-waisted skirt (like we saw at Acne, Prada, and Emilio Pucci), or a navel-grazing pair of jeans or shorts (just see Preen and Proenza Schouler for stylish examples). You can also layer it up with a fitted blazer, sweet cardigan, or cool leather jacket. This will ensure that you keep things classy while staying on the sultry side of things.
Be prepared to turn heads. Whether you pair your bralet with hot pants or a maxi skirt, be forewarned: you will get attention - so be sure to throw your shoulders back and revel in it!
Now that you're up to speed on baring your middle, click through to see three ways to wear the crop top this season.

Allison McNamara — Fri, 18 May 2012 03:30:59 PDT

The transition into warmer months is one of our favorite times of the year, but dressing the part can be tricky. We headed over to Madewell in Century City and styled up a pair of loose, high-waisted shorts that will carry you seamlessly into sunny weather. Take a cue from the tribal looks on the Spring 2012 runways and try out an Aztec print top, or pair your shorts with a chambray button-up layered underneath a short sleeve sweater while it's still a tad chilly out. Watch today's episode for some great transitional outfit inspiration!

Look of the Day: Anything but Simple

FabSugar — Thu, 10 May 2012 03:00:36 PDT

Just because Fab reader Too Poor For Couture stuck to a cool black-and-white palette doesn't mean the finished result is at all simple. First, she tucked a silky printed blouse into high-waisted black leather shorts, then she topped it off with an edgy white blazer, complete with black leather sleeves. She accented this look two ways: her Balmain-inspired black booties and bright yellow nail polish both kept the monochromatic hues fresh and dynamic.

Congrats Too Poor For Couture!
