Evidence of the immense popularity of the high waist look is especially apparent on Copenhagen Street Style where these four ladies below, as well as others, are wearing high waisted outfits in posts on the front page alone.

Lauren Conrad, Duffy, Katie Holmes and Nicole Richie all wear different styles of high-waisted bottoms that reflect their individual tastes and personalities.

ida at rougemarie is incredible with her high waisted number.. well I did go out to get a pair myself as my prediction for hot hot hot S/S hit is just that - high waisted and/or wide legged jeans with a white top. alas.. it's not meant to be.. I just can't wear them! tragic.. I just have to settle with my good ol' low rise bootleg.
ReplyDeleteI kinda-sorta like the look. But of course, it would be hard for some to pull it off.
ReplyDeleteI love the gingham skirt.
ReplyDeleteI can't really do high waisted, sadly. I have an odd shaped figure which means nothing seems to fit right.
Hi danz-another great post!! I love this look too, I have a high waisted pencil skirt I have yet to wear! Your picks are great-the purple shorts are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteHi Danz!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thoughtful comments.
I love high-waisted looks. Copenhagen Street Style pics are really cool!
xx
Hi Danz.. I am pretty sure I left a comment here about ida's high waisted jeans.. don't know what happened then.
ReplyDeleteanyhoo. thanks for the comment darling. I would like to try all of them this season!
I'm still loving the high waisted look! That gingham skirt is sooo cute!!
ReplyDeleteI love high-waisted looks when well done, I mean according to one's proportions.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm in this trend with some pieces, but not too accentuated.
Love the pieces you picked.
xoxo
Golly - I'm in love with that first look from Copenhagen but I fear wearing big chunky shoes with a little mini like that - on her it's divine, on me, not so much!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving that one girl's pink skirt.
ReplyDeleteI'm really loving this look as well. I am searching for just the right piece to work into my wardrobe as we speak. Any special recommendations for me?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely comment, by the way. xx
I looove the high waisted trend! Gorgeous pics
ReplyDeletetotally agree with you. i am ready for a different look from the super low waisted bottomes.
ReplyDeletehigh waisted pants are hot !! even for men !! when i'll get my pair i'll post a picture !
ReplyDeleteIncredible post, as usual my love! I absolutely adore high waist. I hope it doesn't go away for a good long while. Especially through fall.
ReplyDeleteHow are you, lovely!? Thank you for the Freja video link. I can watch that over and over if - she is so phenomenal.
I hope you're doing well, my love! I miss you and love you tons!

I know just what you mean -- I can't get enough of this look! I think maybe it's also able to straddle the line between trend and classic partly because it harkens to some old fashioned looks from the 30s and 40s.
ReplyDeletelove the highwaisted look, but i fear that my midsection is too short to handle it. eep!
ReplyDeleteYep! I love high waisted..Make my short legs look longer. heheh
ReplyDeleteI love the style. It's far more comfortable to me than the below-the-waist style. Love the clothes you chose.
ReplyDeleteoh i love the shots of the copenhagen street style,especially the fourth look with the lady wearing the cropped peg high waisted yellow pants.fabu!
ReplyDeletehon thanks for your lovely comment.
in ref to being a fab an american size 11 like me...;-)
Honey i get my shoes all over but I do love TOPSHOP for quality and variety. so try topshop. www.topshop.com i think they ship internationally and the sizes are in british sizing so an american 11 is a british 9. Next also do our size and its www.next.co.uk,im not sure if they ship internationally though.also sometimes i wear an american 10(british size 8) in some brands as Carvela,Kurt geiger.let me know how it goes.muah!Marian
I love this trend, but I haven't had the courage to pull it off yet. Love the way Lauren Conrad and Nicole Richie pulls it off, And all of the Denmark women of course!

hey danz.. you've been tagged for premio 2008. You haven't got one already have you?
ReplyDeletehugs songy
I love all the highwaist-ness!
ReplyDeletei think gingham and high-waisted combined channels such an ol'-skool feel which i utterly dig.
ReplyDeleteI like highwaisted skirts. I actually just bought two yesterday, very similar to the one Lauren Conrad is wearing.
ReplyDeleteI think highwaisted jeans or shorts would look terrible on me though.
Great steet style picks, D!
ReplyDeleteI am looooving that suspender pencil. High waisted skirts are totally hot.
Not too sure about the high waisted pants yet, but I am sure I'll warm up to the trend come fall . . .
