I am so in love with the new high-waisted look in the shops right now. Now, let me say right up front, I am not a skinny girl, but the right fit in a high waist can give you a great hour-glass figure, especially if you've got an apple shape like mine. I bought a great pair of high-waisted denim shorts, £24.99, from H&M recently (see image left). Wearing them is just like putting on a corset, sucks you right in.
Come to think of it, H&M are doing some great high-waist styles on everything from skirts to trousers. Also, check out Warehouse, whose high-waist skirt with braces, has been flying from their stores (see image right) .
Preen also have this lovely high-waist skirt for Topshop, £60 (below left).
Best way to wear them is with a nice slim-fit jersey top or tee, or if you're a skinny Minny, try a silk or satin smock top.
