The new skirt silhouette: high waists for spring. Take inspiration from the playful hourglass silhouettes of the fifties with skirts that rise to the waist. Whether pencil-slim, A-line or full, the high-waist skirt is both flattering and feminine - not to mention the perfect compliment to other trends for the spring 2012 season.
This spring, the easiest way to tap into the retro movement is by introducing a high-waist skirt to your wardrobe. It can be a formal piece with strict lining and mobility or one imitating the playful silhouette of the ‘50s. This trend has taken a plunge into the nostalgic ocean of the 1950s, while staying true and proud to the modern aesthetic of 2012 fashion trends.
