Fashion ETTM: high-low

[Deleted]

I really don't like the high-low trend attacking fashion right now, especially when it comes to shirts. I also don't understand it, it doesn't seem flattering on ANYONE that I've seen, including all the models online and in catalogs. Can someone explain the appeal?

[Deleted]

nope. I'm not getting in that boat.

To me, it just comes across as shoddy hemming when it's a smaller one, and just looks plan dumb when it's a large difference. Dresses and skirts are totally NMS but I guess I could SORT of understand them. Shirts though? No way..especially when paired with the super boxy fit.

One of my homecoming dresses in high school had the high/low thing going on. It makes me cringe to see it now. I do not understand the appeal either.

No sh!t, my aunt in Cali gave me a shirt for my birthday this weekend. I opened it up, it's sheer burgundy, sleeveless with a mandarin collar, low in the front, long in the back.

Yep. That really happened.

My bridesmaids dress in my dads wedding was supposed to be high in the front and low in the back. But the fabric my stepmom wanted wasn't available in enough yards to make both my and my sisters dresses that way. So it ended up being one length.

I had no idea that this was a trend before this post, but the dress in that link is really bad. The weird platform combat boots the model is wearing don't help.

[larzhope]

not a fan either

I have a few skirts like that, but not as drastic as the link shows. at the most the front differs 4-6 inches from the back.

If they are like the ones in the link I'm not a huge fan either.

It's just so "fashion victim" looking to me!! I really don't get it. Makes me sad.

okay based on that link-ew. but sometimes it looks good, right? in non-extreme cases, like this? www.hipsterchic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Flounce-High-Low-Dress-2.jpg

Def not as bad, but imo it still has too much going on with the peplum top. I wish it were knee length with the peplum and that's it.
