Low-rise bottoms were all the rage in the early 2000s, but thankfully the fashion pendulum has swung the other way and we are now embracing high-waisted styles. Thus, channel your inner Joan Holloway for a waist-defining look. These skirts not only keep your lovehandles in check--what could be better than that--but they also emphasize your curves. Check out the best high-waisted picks out there below.

They do look erotic, but if I had a daughter I would not want her in public in a miniskirt like that.

It would be nice if they showed this high-waisted skirt on a variety of different body types instead of all size 4 women, thus making the case for "every girl" to own one.

Thank you! I was going to say the exact same thing. I wish they would show the size 10 women and the curvy girls how to wear these. SMH

All but 2 of the skirts rested on the waist, not above it. So, only 2 of the skirts were high waisted.

Unfortunately the rule of thumb is "If you wore it the first time around, you shouldn't be wearing it the next time around"
