Ask KRiSTOPHER: How to Wear High-Waisted Skirts

12.Jan.2007, 08:53 am

how to wear a high-waisted skirtI love wearing high-waisted skirts at the moment - but how would I wear a jacket/sweater with one in winter? A normal length jacket would obviously cover up the high waist, but on the other hand a cropped jacket would look out of proportion!
- Karina

A cropped jacket would actually be perfectly in proportion, doll. And if your high-waisted skirt’s a skinny pencil of a thing, a cropped swing coat or capelet would bring balance to your long, thin bottom.

If you don’t like to rock such an exaggerated look, though -

Find me in a beaded cocktail dress, too-tall heels, and a smoky eye in the AM at Starbucks.

- Your K gets it.

So style your high-waisted skirt with a ¾-length coat, like this Nina Ricci trench ($1,734). Rock your coat open to show off your cashmere T tucked into your high-waisted skirt, and slip on your most too-tall heels - check these Pucci mary janes ($299) - to give your hot little body legs for miles.

Voila, doll.

  2. Jazz says:

    can you wear a high waisted skirt with a skirt that isn’t pencil thin. i have a skirt that has one of those tighter waist bands that is kinda thick, but the rest of the skirt is a bit flow-y, can i still pull the look off?
