And the Defined Waist is Coming Through

Angie

I LOVE our brilliant melting pot of fashion this year. it encourages the infinity of individual style preferences, as opposed to a few key looks that must be embraced by everyone.

I agree. I am so looking forward to shopping for Spring fashion this year. I love the look of a defined waist.

I am sooo excited about this. Swooning over that Theory top. Have to reasses my storage area and see if I have kept any tailored waist-defining tops.

Nice! Great to have a variety of silhouettes to get ones teeth into.

Ha! I had a shirt very nearly identical in style to that black wrap top some years ago when I worked in my last "office" type job. It looked really nice on me (white with black pinstripes) but I let it go when my lifestyle changed. It will be interesting to see how the tailored trend works with a more casual wardrobe.

Yes, I thought that Janet. Maybe a blog post at some point, once the styles come into the shops, about how to style the looks casually...pretty please Angie?

Of course, ladies. Lets first see how the season unfolds. I think dressy and casual flat footwear will be key to casualizing the defined waist looks. And flared culottes with tailored tops spring to mind.

Glad that many of my current pieces fit into this category

Oh noes, the cost of that white shirt I was ogling...and it's already sold out in some sizes, despite being a pre-order.

Variety is the spice of life! I will be sporting both tailored and fluid.
I'm ready for winter to be over and can't wait to see what comes to stores over the next couple of months.

Couldn't agree more!
I'm excited about the new defined waist looks. I've never found that sporting an actual belt around the waist was my most flattering look (being a straight hourglass), but I've always loved garments that had some waist definition built in, those I can wear well, I think:-) So it will be fun to experiment with those again.

Love the variety and also defining the waist. I've been missing that a bit the last year or so.

These looks are already appearing in fast fashion retailers, so it can be bought at a price.

Yay! I love this direction.

I love this direction too - but am a little petrified at the thought of it on my body . Mad dieting and exercising underway for spring - yikes.

Yay from me! I love the looks with a defined waist. I find them easier to pull through than the looks with volume.

If a big bum has become desirable, can a thick waist be far behind? I'm ready to flaunt mine.

Love Joy's thought. The Theory top is particularly gorgeous. Must find a way to use my rib cage as a waist!

New silhouettes! Very exciting! If this spring season even manages to match last spring's (which was BRILLIANT), I will be thrilled. And if it beats it - well! That will be one for the ages.

I already began to replenish my belt collection to add some waist-friendly belts (which need to be 2 sizes smaller than my hip-friendly belts).
Waist defining look is still pretty flattering for me so if I can find ways to make it look true to my current style I would be a happy camper (I will be watching you for inspiration for this Angie )
