In fact, this is not a new question. Waist line in the history of ladies' costume all the time is moved back and forth, and, oddly enough, is rarely occupied its natural place. For some reason, the creators of items of women's wardrobe all the time experimented with fashionable silhouettes, trying to pull away as possible from natural natural option.
So, at the beginning of the last century designers, trying to make the top of the female figure as possible on the background of a fragile lush skirts, raised waistline almost under the breast, and a decade later waistline dramatically dropped almost immediately to the hips. Remember the so-called "jazz" dresses 20s: the dresses were straight jacket-cut, and only differed from the mid-thigh skirts-frills.
In subsequent years waistline carelessly walked up and down (from high to low in the thirties to the fifties), until finally, in the mid-50s innovator Cristobal Balenciaga took and did not cancel it altogether. Now, one-piece dress-shirt was flat, straight (or slightly flared) all the way to the hem. This caused a shock at first, then joy (since ceased to be beneficial only slender women), and then pall.
Since the waistline moved with the same regularity, but without such drastic jerks. If we trace its evolution, it turns out that waistline in everyday clothes every year at least for a little bit, but fell down. A striking manifestation of this steel capri pants fashion last summer season, which are generally held on slender young ladies with the help of some magic.
But this season, fashion designers have clearly decided to come off in full and at the same time we offer almost all of the options. And in any items of ladies' clothes.
To a lesser extent this applies, however, dresses. Here you can pay attention to the mini-dresses in the Empire style with a waistline, raised just under the breasts, from Alessandro Dell'Acqua, Balmain, Dsquared2, Roberto Cavalli, Michael Kors, Ferre and many others. There is nothing unusual in the Empire style dresses appear in almost every season - and the winter and summer.
Much more interesting option, especially skirts - trousers.
But above all - on the skirts. A wonderful option that can be considered a highlight of the come fashion season - is different silhouette skirt with a high waist and belt assembly. Their creator is read Yves Saint Laurent created in his time a completely new feminine silhouette. He added to such a large skirt blouse in folklore style with a fairly wide sleeves and a soft shoulder line.
This option can be seen today in various collections. Wide belt can be assembled on kuliske (sort of safari style, which is very good for summer office and fully fits into any business dress code) or on the gum. However, note that such a skirt should still be rather narrow.
The perfect complement to it - Satin blouse or shirt in the style of a man's shirt. The only exception is the case-skirt, which emphasizes the captivating curves of the female body, his flowing lines.
By the way, similar trends are reviewed and in models of actual shorts. High-waisted hot pants can be (or tightly clasping the slender form, or going to the belt on kuliske and emphasizing fashionable slope of thighs) or spacious prisborennye in the belt, even slightly flared. In any case, they are slightly changed for the better proportions of the female body and visually lengthen the leg.
Complicated situation with trousers. Here waist walk with amazing amplitude. Equal rights in this season have pants (long and capri) as a radically low waistline and very high, resembling officer trousers XVIII century.
With the first option, in general, it is clear - trousers with very low waist are almost in every season, they are more likely to Molojen style and combined with very short tops that drew tummy. Nothing particularly new in this sense has been invented in the current season. Unless these pants look more glamorous - no jeans you there.
But the high-waisted pants are more diverse. Association with the officer's trousers last century caused, firstly, the dominant this season white; Secondly, highly-fitting shape; Thirdly, moving a wide belt somewhere in the solar plexus.
In general, high-waisted pants look deliberately masculine. They are invited today to add suspenders, vests, shirts, light cotton blazer.
The novelty of this season can be considered and the desire to emphasize the inflated waistline other, sometimes quite original way. The first is the use of a broad girdle (incidentally, also the legacy of Yves Saint Laurent).
He may be a flexible, modern high-tech materials, taking the form given to them in advance; of dense tissue from a purely corset long zipper on the buttons or lace; of woven fabrics of diverse textures (knits, lace, embroidery); to a lesser extent - from the skin (most of patent leather or shiny plastic in the style of the eighties).
