Trend Alert: Gone to Waist

If Fashion Week taught us anything, it was this: the era of the muffin top is over. Trousers and skirts both inched up past the hips, coming to rest where nature intended. This silhouette visually narrows the waist, elongates the leg, and minimizes any pear-shaped problems. It makes petite figures seem taller and tall women seem lanky. In short, it’s about time.

The best is yet to come, however: turns out that you don’t have to leave this figure flattery behind when you’re looking for dressed down weekend wear. Lips jeans have designed a line of high-waisted denims that make the most of your body by covering, rather than revealing. SheFinds’ favorite is Colette, the wide-leg wonders with a nautical waist detail perfect for spring, and just enough room in the rear to make you look longer and leaner than ever.

Style Tip: When it comes to higher beltlines, look for a flared or wide leg – if it’s tight on top and tight on the bottom you’ll end up feeling like a mummy. An A-line on the bottom keeps the focus on your whittled waist.
