1
Choose your style. High-waisted shorts can be very versatile. You can go with a very casual style or a dressed-up style to be worn out in the evening.

2
Wear a shirt that you can tuck in, since the point of this style is to show off your waist. Ruffled tops are a great complement to the high-waisted style; if you have a casual workplace, you could opt for a fitted button-down. Don't be afraid to experiment.

3
Add a very narrow belt to draw even more attention to your waist. Play around with metal, plastic, leather and other decorative belts.
-
4
Wear high-heeled shoes to really show off your legs. This is the most popular look on the runways and in magazines. For a dressed-down or hipster look, wear flat shoes or sandals. This option would be more appropriate for younger teenagers.

5
Complete the look with a shorter-strapped bag that will keep the purse above your waist. You don't want a bag that hits right at your waist, which will draw attention away from that fetching feature.
