Skirts, the cut of which provides for an overestimated waist line, began to be worn in the ancient era, but they gained the most popularity during the Empire. Outwardly, such a skirt is similar to a half-dress, since its upper part is located much higher than the line along which the woman's natural waistline passes.
Visually, this contributes to the formation of a feminine silhouette, characterized by a narrow waist and smoothly outlined hips.
The popularity of skirts with a higher waist line these days is also due to their good compatibility with clothes of different styles, so fashionistas create interesting and very bright images.
Who is it for?
With a raised waist, you can improve the proportionality of the silhouette. Due to the fact that the waist line is shifted up, the female figure is perceived as more slender and elongated.
It is for the above reason that the skirts of this cut are especially loved by short girls.
If the figure resembles a rectangle, a skirt with a high waist will also be a very good choice. Because it will fit the body a little higher and rise to the chest. Visually, this will give a perception of a thin waist, so in the end the figure will turn out to be more feminine and harmonious.
Slender girls can wear any skirts with a high waist, but when full, such a style is less preferable, since it will additionally emphasize the breadth of the silhouette.
