The Drop Waist. This is the Dress’s Comeback Silhouette.

Apr 23

What goes around, comes around.

After a decade of high-waisted mania, a new silhouette is back in the spotlight. The Drop Waist.

Avoiding a neutral waistline is nothing new, and for a good reason. A neutral waistline tends to cut off the body, while an extreme waistline elongates it. High-waist gives off the illusion of longer legs, while the drop waist gives off the illusion of a longer torso. Both flattering and both interesting, no matter how you spin it.

The drop waist is the casual and relaxed sister of the uptight high waist. Reminiscent of the 20’s flapper and the 60’s mod, the drop waist ushers in a new era of comfort and unexpected femininity.
