STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: High-waisted Happiness

April 8th, 2015 at 2:00am

There is no denying that high-waisted clothing, let alone shorts, have been a dominant trend throughout multiple seasons now in the fashion world. As the heat begins to get the best of us, and draws in the festival goers everywhere, you begin to see high-waisted clothing everywhere on the streets and in the stores.

When I think of high-waisted denim shorts or clothing, it reminds me of hippies or the Brady Bunch. This is an old-school trend that has made its way into the twenty-first fashion culture but with a somewhat modern twist to it. Their versatility, ease and comfort has allowed this trend to be adapted into multiple genres of style such as gothic, preppy and hipster. Style them with your favorite crop top or a half-tucked in T-shirt and you will be ready to take on festival fashion in style.

Taking one good look at this Fashionista, and you can see why this trend has not come to an end just yet. She pairs her cuffed denim shorts with a loose striped shirt that adds a balance in comparison to her more form-fitting high-waisted shorts. Playing off the blue theme of the rest of her outfit, she decided to go with a pair of pastel blue platform shoes and funky gray socks that adds to the effortless hippie look this Fashionista is going for. As for accessories, she keeps it very minimal with her brightly colored round reflector glasses that add a pop of color to her very blue-oriented outfit.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I love combining style and comfort to my everyday wardrobe. Whenever I’m wearing a form-fitting piece, I like to juxtapose it with something looser so that it gives me more of that effortless look that keeps me cool under the Florida heat.”
