Hemlines are getting longer and waistlines are on the rise this summer! It seems to me that high waisted pants and shorts are a Fashionista favorite in the big city. This Fashionista takes the spolight looking edgy and cool in her black high waisted jeans. It's a look that can be made casual and everyday or chic for the office. In any case, high waists are a must have for this summer season. High waists are a tricky trend to pull off, but if you want to jump on the band wagon, the key is to find the perfect fit. Don't over exaggerate and wear a cut that is too high waisted, also make sure that you are choosing the right leg width. This Fashionista has gone for a skinny leg, but the high waist can be even more flattering with a flared leg. To get you started, take a look at the high waisted skinny jeans I found from Urban Outfitters. For a wide leg option, take a look at these jeans from Free People.
Today's Fashionista has styled her look with a crop top and strappy sandals. I really love a cropped tee or blouse to excentuate the high waist. If you don't have a cropped top, just try tucking in your shirt and adding a belt.
