The cutest way to wear high waisted shorts or a skirt is to pair them with a crop top. That way, you'll be showing a bit of skin, but you won't be showing so much that you'll end up feeling uncomfortable. Plus, crop tops won't cover up the top of your shorts or skirt, so everyone will be able to see how cute the design looks on you.

You don't have to wear your high waisted short or skirts with an actual outfit. They can look adorable as coverups for your swimsuits. So if you can't find any cute coverups at the store, then you can just use the clothing that you already have in your closet. It'll save you a ton of money.

If you're going to wear your high waisted shorts or skirt with a regular shirt, make sure you tuck it in. You don't want your top to end up covering your bottoms. If they do, then no one is going to see that high waistline that makes your stomach look small and your legs look long.

High waisted shorts and skirts can show off a lot of skin. If you're self-conscious about your legs, or are just worried about getting cold, then you can wear a pair of leggings underneath them. That way, you can still rock the trend, but you don't have to worry about the weather or whether you shaved.

That way, it'll draw even more attention to the center of your body. So if your stomach looks sexy and you want everyone to see it, it helps to add a belt.

It's hard to find something to wear with a corset, because the outfits you put together could end up looking scandalous or outdated. However, corsets look fabulous when they're paired with high waisted clothing. If you have the items in your closet, go try them on and see for yourself. It's a look that you'll be proud to show off.
Anyone can rock the high waisted short and skirt trend, which is what makes it so popular. If you don't own any high waisted items, then you should run to the store before the summer is over. What's your favorite way to wear your high waisted shorts and skirts?
