Try The Trend Tips
The high low skirt is bold and fashion forward, but no need to be intimidated. With these tips you’re sure to be rocking the trend in no time.
Avoid too much fabric, it can overpower a small frame or make a curved frame seem larger. The flouncy boho chic vibe is great, but too much textile can hide the legs and weigh you down. Look for sheer layers that move with you, so you can show off your legs and still benefit from the fun high low style.
Also, avoid pairing knee length boots with a high low skirt, it makes the legs appear shorter and looks far too busy. Instead, try ankle length high heeled boots, they will still elongate your legs and give you that rocker edge.
