Flash back to the ’80s, a time where low-waisted anything was almost non-existent. High-waisted pants, shorts and skirts were the social norm. Within the past few years this ’80s trend has come back into style. High-waisted shorts are a must have in any girl’s summer wardrobe. Often in the summer we see ripped up denim shorts paired with crop tops. While this look is a good go-to for your summer concerts, it may not be ideal for those of us who don’t care to show as much skin. Like most trends, there are many variations. I want to show you that high-waisted shorts can be a good choice for a casual dinner or even a party.
This Fashionista shows off the perfect way to dress up your high-waisted shorts. She started off with a pair of black, lace print fabric shorts. Her shorts are perfect for those who want to try out this ’80s trend, but still keep their look mature and put-together. She paired her shorts with a chiffon tank top. Tucking in the top helps to keeps her figure looking slim. To help dress up her look, she chose a gold statement necklace. Her look consists of three main pieces, and she looks cute and ready to meet her friends for a casual summer dinner.
