Acing the asymmetrical hemline: Find your style

Check these out, too...

  • Exactly what to wear to your summer job interview
  • Ed. Obsession: INTERN TAKEOVER: Muscle Tees Under $20
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.

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.

Help! I'm going to the mall soon for back to school clothes, and I don't know what to choose! Even though I'm very small, I have long legs and arms for my size. (I'm also very thin, so I don't fit in a lot of clothes.) I have smallish boobs and my ribcage is completely straight but when it gets to my waist there is a small curve. I have small hips and absolutely no thighs. I'm not sure which styles look good on me and what I should choose. Any advice?




Hey chica, try getting some babydoll shirts that'll add some length to your torso to match your arms and legs. Also, look for shirts with accents near the chest area, 'cause that'll make you look more filled out. As for pants, you probably don't wanna go for skinny jeans. Instead, look for some with a slight flare that'll give your legs a bit of shape.

I'm going to go shopping soon and I don't know what body shape I am. I have broad shoulders and not as wide hips but thick legs(???). And my boobs are kind of the smaller-mediumish size. I have no idea what I am supposed to be looking for.

 

Hey! That sounds a little like me, and I'm pear-shaped Smile

Hey catlover26, black bottoms and shoes with silver accessories would look good. Maybe black skinny jeans with black flats and silver necklaces. Xoxo

On the first day of school this year I have to wear a neon yellow shirt b/c I am a freshman advisory leader. What should I wear for the rest of my outfit so I look good? Lynae P.
