#DenimMonth Tips and Tricks for Wearing High Waist Shorts "High
Waisted" is relative. To rock this trend, you don't need to go out and
find a pair of shorts that reaches above your belly button. If you have a
shorter torso (or a larger bust), go for styles that are cut comfortably over
your hip bones, but not all the way up to the smallest part of your waist.
Because low-cut styles have been popular for so long, even a mid-rise cut will
give you the look of the trend! Tuck in your shirt. This is a no-brainer, but
show off your trendsetting ways but tucking in your top and emphasizing your
new shorts. DIY a pair! A good way to test the waters on this trend is to pick
up a pair of jeans from a thrift shop and cut them into shorts yourself. Cuff
the hems for an extra cute look. Don't worry if you grab a pair that's a little
big on you -- the style will look great with a belt, and the looseness
throughout the butt and thighs will look more "street chic" than
"Mom Jean!" Embrace the more mature look. Another way to wear the
high waisted shorts trend is to go for a dressier look, like Blake Lively and
our street style fashionista did, above. Pair your shorts with heels to feel
extra elegant. Consider the top. A tank or simple t-shirt will look chic with high
waisted shorts, but pair them with a button-down dress shirt for a Katherine
Hepburn aesthetic. Wear them with a cropped top! If you're a little tummy-shy
like me, high waisted shorts are perfect for pairing with cropped tops! The
only skin people will see is the part between your belly button and ribcage --
the tiniest place on most girls' torsos. Try them with swimsuits. High waisted
shorts, especially the nautical variety, will look fabulous paired with your
favorite bikini for a fun new cover-up. These will look great and make you feel
like you're straight out of a movie filmed at the French Riviera! Be confident!
It takes a bold girl to rock these babies -- hold your head up high and let the
world know how great you know you look! Tips From
