High Low Dresses Fashion Guide

Rocking Stylish High Low Dresses

Short front long back dresses, also known as high low dresses, are the perfect middle ground for formal-goers who want something sexy yet sophisticated. Make a bold, dramatic statement with this contemporary silhouette that features sweeping skirting in the back and a shorter hem in the front. These gowns are well-suited for extra-special occasions - i.e. prom, homecoming and formal - where a little bit of flirty fun is permitted. This exceptional style first gained popularity several years ago at runway shows by Diane Von Furstenberg and Alexander McQueen. One thing's for sure: the high low is here to stay!

Will a High Low Dress Flatter my Figure?

When you pick the right silhouette, waistline and neckline, the answer is an emphatic yes! Asymmetrical skirts come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes, so you can find one that perfectly suits your body type. They're appropriate for everyone from ladies with apple and pear body shapes - the flowing skirt helps to balance your figure - to women with petite, slim figures who want to add a bit of curviness and dimension. The cocktail-meets-maxi dress is great for ladies who want to show off their legs without a super-short cupcake or cocktail-length skirt. One of the keys to rocking the high low in style is to snag a pair of smashing statement shoes that complement your glamorous look.
