Acing the asymmetrical hemline: Find your style

Check these out, too...

  • 6 handbags every girl should own
  • Exactly what to wear to your summer job interview
One of the most versatile trends this season has been the asymmetrical hemline.  It’s popped up on everything from shirts to skirts to dresses and can either be dramatic or subtle.  With all these options, you’ll def find the perf hemline for your style—whether your style veers toward edgy, girly, tomboy or classic.
 
Edgy cool
If you’re looking for subtlety, try out a maxi skirt.  Skirts like this are great if you just want to dip your toes into this trend.  The length of the skirt means you won’t be risking a super short hem in the front and maxi skirts are so simple to style! A bold colored skirt calls for a patterned tank, some simple accessories and a cheeky bag for fun twist to an easy outfit.

Zoey Burnout Print Tank Pixie, $20, delias.com

With Love From CA Square Fringe Necklace, $10, pacsun.com
Rubber Ducky Tote, $18, cafepress.com
 
Girly girl
You may be scared to try shirts with a cropped front, but they are a total cinch to rock! The hemline will draw attention without buckles and snaps adding to the drama, so ditch the jeans or cutoffs for a simple, bright bodycon skirt.  Try a pair of cute sneakers to keep you looking casual and have fun with your jewelry: zebra earrings touch on the animal theme of the shirt, but aren’t the main attraction.
 

Tiger Woven Graphic, $25, delias.com
Nollie Waistband Body Con Skirt, $13, pacsun.com

Champion Floral Laceless, $30, keds.com

Glitter Zebra Heart Earrings, $6, shop.com

 
Tomboy casual
Tops with higher hemlines draw attention to your choice of bottom, so choose wisely.  Take advantage of the frame by rocking some daring shorts, like these ombre denim ones, instead of a boring classic pair.  All that leg you’re showing needs a killer base, so go with a twist on a classic, like this studded smoking slipper.  An adorable animal necklace tops off this spunky outfit.

Faded Chambray Shorts, $40, gap.com

Classic cute
Looking for a one-step way to wear this trend?  Dresses are the thing for you!  Pick a fresh color, throw on a denim jacket and mini wedges and you have the perfect end-of-summer outfit.  A silly mustache necklace adds a bit of fun if you’re planning a night with the girls, but any jewelry amps up this on-the-go outfit.

i LOVE the whole high-low dress trend but i cant find them anywhere in stores and the straps arent even thick enough tht i could wear one to school...i have two questions: do you know a store where i could find one? and could you help with the whole first day outfit ish? im 13 and in 8th grade. i cnt wear heels, i have like no curves, and i love color. also i have brown hair a little longer thn shoulder lenght. thnks!!

 

Hey girl! Check out stores like Macy's and Target for high-low dresses.  Try a pair of cute flats (something comfy), cuffed jeans, and a bright sweater and your fave bracelet and necklace! xoxo

MOD MOD MOD I have sooo many tank tops and long jeans but whenever I tried t put them together it looks bad. Any tips pleasseee?

 

Hey girlie,

Try layering! A tank top tucked into long jeans with a printed cardigan (love polka dots), fitted blazer, or cropped sweater look adorable because of the layers. Another way to dress up the look is with accessories - a plain tank and jeans is taken to the next level by layering necklaces and throwing on a pair of high boots. <3 Try to get creative with what you've got! And it also helps sometimes to Google image search celebs wearing a certain trend (like pastel jeans) to get ideas!

mod mod mod
i put 4 mod questions up and nobody answered any of them!!!
so here they are
1 i have some black skinnies and they are waaaaaaay to long and they look weird with cuffs what should i do?
2i have an olive skin tone and i really wanna try a purple lip gloss would it work on me?
3 i bought some neon green skinnies what top would work with them?(grey DOES NOT work at all)
4 do you crave salty foods before your period? i had my very first period last month.
thanks!

 

Hey chica! 1. You can try taking them to a tailor and getting them hemmed to fit your height.  2. Purple lip gloss is a hard color for ANYONE, so do some research before you buy and look up reviews for different colors that people liked online. 3. Try black or white tops or a navy blue shirt. 4. Some girls have cravings during their period, it's pretty normal to crave salty foods or sweet foods.  xoxo
