The season of low-rise everything has long gone, for high-waist is in! From the mentioned bikini bottoms to shorts to trousers, this fashion trend has been especially praised by curvaceous black women. Pair any of these high-waist style bottoms with a solid colored crop top or a bandeau and dress it up or down with a fun patterned blazer and you are good to go.
