Low rise bottoms have been the reoccurring theme for our generation of young women, thanks in large part to Britney Spears circa “I’m a Slave for You”. Thankfully we have evolved from the days of the ultra low rise pant, exposed hip bones and all. We are moving on up… with our waistline that is, taking inspiration from the sexy sirens of the 40s and 50s. Elevated waistlines in, and thong baring low rise out.

High-waisted pants, shorts, and skirts are all the rage of the summer season, and I must say that it’s a refreshing change with a nod to retro chic. Confidence is essential to carry off this body conscious look, but it can in fact be done. An elevated waist with a skinny leg can pose difficult for some, of course there’s always the chic alternative of the wide leg pant. It is time to celebrate a woman’s curves. My personal favorite, Grey Ant’s selection of skinny and wide leg denim with braided details, all high-waisted of course.
