High-waisted shorts are an old trend reborn from the dead. After wearing the low rise shorts for a long time, it is not immediately clear what to do with their chic high version. Learning how to properly wear high-waisted shorts can be a very rewarding and fashionable experience. Here are a few tricks and techniques to consider when wearing high waisted shorts.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Part One: Finding the Right Shorts Height

1. 1 Choose your waist height based on your torso length. You can pick up any shorts that are labeled "high waisted shorts" in the store, but if your torso is short, consider a shorter waist height on the shorts that will look better on you while flattering your figure.
   • Note that a similar principle applies to breasts. Women who are well gifted in this regard tend to flaunt her less.
   • Women with good breasts and short torso should consider shorts that extend just beyond the hip bone but don't reach the narrowest part of the waist, which is typical of standard high-waisted shorts. Low-rise shorts can also work as well as high-waisted shorts.
   • The main thing is to try on shorts and determine if you like the way they look on you. There are no hard and fast rules about how long a woman's body should be. To wear high waisted shorts, the best thing you can do is play with different lengths and choose whichever you like best.
2. 2 Show your legs a little, but don't get carried away. Many high-waisted shorts are quite short and make your legs look longer.
   • As a rule of thumb, if something other than legs sticks out from under your shorts, then you should choose a longer pair. Likewise, if you see that the edges of the pockets are peeking out from below, this means that the shorts are too short.
   • Also note that high-waisted shorts that expose your legs too much are better for loose-fitting styles. If you want to look more elegant, then you will have to stick to a more conservative, classic length. If you want to embellish your style, you need to wear high-waisted shorts that do not violate the fingertip rules. In other words, when your arms are just down, the shorts shouldn't be shorter than your fingertips.
3. 3 Pay attention to the overall fit. Not all high-waisted shorts are tailored to fit your body exactly. Make sure the shorts fit well on your stomach and underneath before you go flaunting them.
   • Fortunately, high-waisted shorts hide your tummy and hide any "buns" that might show up if you were wearing regular shorts. However, if the zipper or main zip sticks out or digs into the belly, it can look bad as well.
   • The shorts you choose should support your back well, especially if you are slightly wider in the back around your hips and legs. The shorts should fit well to prevent any sagging in the back, but not too much so that your heel point is not squeezed.
   • Also experiment with loose and fitted options. The second option is more suitable for women with thin legs, but if you feel less confident in your hips, shorts that are looser towards the bottom might suit your style better. Again, to choose the shorts that really suit you, you need to try on different models and look at yourself in the mirror until you choose something that you really like.
4. 4 Pay attention to the pattern and color. The simplest high-waisted shorts are made from regular standard denim. If you have a desire for a bolder look, you can try a different color, texture, or patterned fabric.
   • If you want something more classic or trendy, look for shorts in neutral colors such as white, ivory, brown, or black. Also limit the embossed texture and lace print.
   • On the other hand, if you want to look a little bolder, you can opt for stronger colors with brighter prints. Bed tones or classics, even bolder ones - stripes, polka dots, flowers - can look pretty, while bold hues and neon colors along with wild patterns - animal prints, Hawaiian prints - tend to look a little wild.

Method 2 of 4: Part Two: Choosing the Right Top

1. 1 Tuck in your shirt. This is a watershed moment in wearing high waisted shorts. When you tuck your shirt into your shorts, you have the opportunity to show off your high waist, thus flattening your belly as much as possible and lengthening your legs.
   • When tucking in your shirt, make sure the remaining fabric is straight and even. If you tucked in your shirt sloppy, you can end up looking sloppy quickly enough.
2. 2 Stick to loose tops and tees. These are the simplest options for high-waisted shorts. Simple doesn't mean boring. You can still create a trendy outfit by playing with color and prints.
   • To look good, take a standard tank top in a classic color (black or navy blue) and pair it with neutral colored high-waisted shorts.
   • For something a little more daring, wear a bright T-shirt with a flat pattern or neutral colors. Alternatively, you can wear an animal print shirt or other bold look with simple denim shorts.
3. 3 Try a cropped top for a more daring look. The crop top should end just above the narrowest point of the waist. As a result, the top will not constrain your high-waisted shorts.
   • Skin may be visible between your belly button and your ribcage. Since this is the narrowest part of the waist for most girls, it can look quite sexy.
   • Be especially daring with underwired bras. A bra like this will accentuate your breasts well.
4. 4 If you are interested in putting on shorts for casual social gatherings, you can wear them with a nice fashionable blouse.
   • Loose blouses tend to go well with tight, high-waisted shorts, while thin blouses are more suitable for shorts that are looser in the legs.
   • The balance of color and pattern gives a great look. You can wear all neutral colors if you like, but if the colors are neutral, consider incorporating stripes or lace at the top or bottom in the classic pattern. Stick to one detail or the other and don't wear them on top and shorts at the same time.
   • Another alternative is color. You can stick with simple patterns or a solid tone adding color to the top, as with shorts in a neutral color you will look more trendy.
5. 5 Go for a vintage style with a loose button-up shirt. Stylish, vintage top, button-down, loose-fitting shirt is an option!
   • Good retro prints are stripes, polka dots, and small flowers.
   • Note that even if the shirt is loose, it must fit. An oversized men's shirt is not a good choice.

Method 3 of 4: Part Three: Choosing the Right Shoes

1. 1 You can use trendy ballet flats or flat sandals. Flat sandals look good in an informal summer outfit, but ballet flats can be appropriate. This is the best option when wearing high waisted shorts paired with a light top.
   • When you grab high-waisted denim shorts and wear them with a wildly colored / patterned tank top or tee, take the time to find a matching pair of ballet flats or sandals. If your look is super informal, shoes with minimal embellishments are fine. If your look is informal, but glossy, ballet flats or sandals with a little embellishment are fine.
2. 2 Wear shorts with a pair of classic heels. For a vintage look or a classy sophisticated look, closed-toe high-heeled shoes are actually the best option.
   • If your shorts are neutral and paired with a nice blouse and high heels in a classic style, then this is the right choice.
3. 3 Stop at a trendy wedge heel. If you want an option that is flirty and feminine, without any fuss, with open toes and a closed wedge, this is a great option.
   • Wedge heels are a cross between formal high heels and ballet flats. This is a good option for shorts.

Method 4 of 4: Part Four: Additional Features

1. 1 Consider wearing high-waisted shorts with a swimsuit. If you want to look cool, when walking along the beach, wear your bikini shorts as soon as you get out of the water.
   • However, you shouldn't wear the shorts unbuttoned, even if you want to show off some of your cute bikinis. This look will seem sloppy and unsexy, so avoid appearing like this.
2. 2 Defile in a jacket or cardigan. A cropped blazer or sweater emphasizes the silhouette created by the shorts especially well, but a standard sweater, jumper or similarly structured jacket can work just as well.
   • A jacket can be especially good if it comes down to the narrowest part of the waist, right where the shorts end. This brings out the most graceful part of your body and can look very adorable.
   • Jackets and jackets are a great way to dress yourself up that can seem too daring, too simple, or too casual.
3. 3 Accentuate your natural waist with a belt. The belt can be one of the best, most natural style accessory, as it suits high-waisted shorts - after all, both sides of it emphasize the narrowest part of the waist.

Tips

• As with many styles, the right accessories can be eye-catching or intimidating. A simple strand of pearls can add an old-fashioned classic with high-waisted shorts, while a chunky studded bracelet could work like something new and bolder.
• Try making your own pair of high waisted shorts. If you want to test how it will look without investing in a new pair of shorts, buy a pair of old high-waisted jeans in thrift stores, cut your legs and have your own pair of shorts.
• Be confident in yourself. This style is undeniably daring, and if you're wearing high-waisted shorts, you should keep your head high and express your confidence.
• Keep track of your makeup. Overdoing your makeup can lead to a "slutty" rather than "classy" or "chic" image, especially if your high-waisted shorts are pretty short. Light makeup will make you look more attractive.
