Waisted! by Greta Guide featuring Dorothy Perkins

High- waisted, that is… This is the trend that not only made a loud entrance, but is reinventing itself to stick around for the long haul. I for one, love it! It is such a flattering shape on all body types and is an instant style lifter.

To show the versatility of the high-waist, I have composed three different outfits. The first is really geared towards the office setting. You have the dark plaid skirt that balances a more sheer top. Pull it all together with a patterned (and slightly sequined) topper and some classic pumps- I love how the red peeks out and compliments the blue/green plaid perfectly.

Next, is my more sophisticated look for a nice dinner or a holiday drinks at a cocktail party. The high-waisted black slack that tappers in at the ankle is absolutely divine and a piece that you can invest in- it will come back around, trust me. ;) Again, I like pairing the excess of material with a sheer top with some interesting detail, and finishing the look with a delicate and embellished open top and heels.

The last look is for a fun night out. The high-waisted mini is a City girl’s must! It is that go-to piece that brings you fashion forward and makes you feel like a million! I opted for this hot fuchsia color to amp the fun factor. Keep the top simple and throw on a blazer and some attention seeking shoes to complete the look.
