Beloved for their ever-flattering shape and persistence over time, the waist-defining skirt style has proven to be a mainstay in our wardrobes. Year after year, designers reimagine the high-waisted skirt, from the A-line skater skirts of years past to the leather styles and midi cuts that the fashion set is reaching for right now. It's this versatility and adaptability that allows us to wear the piece in a wide variety of ways. Whether paired with a coordinating crop top or tucked over a cozy knit, we're loving the high-waisted skirt outfits we're seeing from the street to our feeds and beyond.
