High waist trousers

There are a number of ways to wear high waisted trousers and when you get the style right it can be a chic look that works on a range of occasions.

High waisted trousers can be a particularly useful item in your work-wear collection, especially in a wide-legged style. Be sure to balance out your top half and wear an embellished, bold-coloured blouse or add some glamorous accessories.

For a more casual look, high waisted fitted trousers offer more structure than skinny leg jeans, which can be unforgiving for curvier figures.

Opt for bold statement colours for these trousers – there’s a great range in mustard, burgundy or bright, fun florals.

Styles that just brush the ankle also evoke a fun vintage feel so this is a great trouser for girls who aren’t really trouser-wearers’.

High waisted shorts

High waisted shorts are the ultimate wardrobe item for summer and are fabulous for any casual occasion.

High waisted denim shorts have been dominating the festival fashions, with celebrities such as Rihanna and Kate Bosworth opting for the ‘ultra-short’ style option.

Need another reason to love the style? High waisted shorts also help to give the impression of longer legs, not to mention the fact that they hold in any unsightly stomach overhang.

High waisted shorts can be teamed with just about anything too, making them one of the most versatile options to come from the catwalk this season.

In denim styles with a simple vest or t-shirt tucked in these shorts make a simple but effective festival outfit. If you opt for a colourful bottom half, like fun pastels, keep your top colour simple. Don’t forget the wellies!

High waisted skirts

High waisted skirts are a classic item for any office wardrobe, with pencil cuts creating a chic and sophisticated look.

This season, there is also a range of fun high waist skirts available in more casual styles with pastel colours and bright shades. Try a skirt with pleats for a fun and summer friendly look.

If you have a full chest, try to pair the skirt with a looser fitting shirt to balance your features and leave you feeling ultra girlie.
