High or low waisted floral skirt: how to choose according to your style?

1. Understand the differences between high-waisted and low-waisted skirts

The floral skirt is a key piece in spring and summer wardrobes. It embodies femininity, freshness, and freedom of movement. However, choosing the right cut is essential to highlight your figure and reflect your personal style. Two major trends are in opposition: the high-waisted floral skirt and the low-waisted floral skirt .

🌼 The high-waisted skirt: structure and elegance

Worn above the navel, the high-waisted skirt visually lengthens the legs, slims the waist and gives a more structured look. It is the ideal choice for H , 8 or A silhouettes, as it rebalances the volumes and creates an hourglass figure.

• Pair it with a fitted floral top to balance the silhouette
• Wear it with a tucked-in blouse for a chic and refined effect
• Add a thin floral belt to further emphasize the waist

🌸 The low-waisted skirt: casual and retro

Worn on the hips, the low-waisted floral skirt is making a strong comeback with the Y2K trend. It gives a more relaxed, cool, and rebellious look to the silhouette, while visually lengthening the bust. Ideal if you're petite or want a more urban style.

• Combine with an oversized or cropped floral t-shirt
• Wear with a floral jacket to accentuate the streetwear or retro effect
  

This type of cut is also perfect for festival looks or casual summer days. Find it in our floral skirt collection .

2. Adapt your floral skirt to your personal style

The choice between high-waisted or low-waisted depends as much on your body type as on your style. A floral skirt can be romantic, bohemian, rock, minimalist, vintage, or even urban chic. Here's how to choose based on the desired effect.

🌷 Bohemian style: between fluidity and naturalness

For a bohemian look, opt for a flowing, high-waisted floral skirt , long or midi, with light patterns (faded roses, small wildflowers). This type of cut gives an airy look and highlights the waist, especially if you pair it with a floral cotton gauze blouse or a crop top with balloon sleeves.

🌸 Romantic style: softness and femininity

A high-waisted floral skirt with pastel patterns or ruffles will work perfectly. To accentuate the "love at first sight" effect, add floral accessories like a headband or a raffia bag adorned with embroidered flowers. It's a style that's perfect for a date or a summer stroll.

🌼 Urban or streetwear style

If you're looking for a casual look, opt for a low-waisted skirt with a vibrant floral pattern : red, purple, orange, or multicolor. Pair it with an oversized floral tee or a solid tank top and a pair of chunky sneakers or sandals.

🌻 Chic and minimalist style

Here, the high-waisted cut reigns supreme. Choose a floral midi skirt with a subtle print (monochrome or two-tone flowers) and pair it with a flowing white shirt or a lightweight suit jacket. It's an excellent choice for the office, an elegant outing, or a professional meeting.

3. How to combine the floral skirt with other pieces for a harmonious look

The floral skirt, whether high-waisted or low-waisted, has a unique ability to structure an outfit while adding a fresh touch. But to avoid fashion faux-pas and assert your style, it's essential to know how to pair it well.

👚 Tops: fitted or oversized?

With a high-waisted floral skirt , opt for tops tucked into the waistband to accentuate the silhouette. A matching floral crop top or a shirt tied at the waist always makes a statement. On the other hand, the low-waisted skirt is more suited to loose tops, such as a flowing t-shirt or a loose-fitting tank top for a very casual look.

🧥 Floral jackets & blazers

For a chic or professional touch, don't hesitate to complete your outfit with a floral blazer . Choose a short model if your skirt is high-waisted, so as not to break the waistline, or a long and flowing model to elongate the silhouette if you wear a low-waisted skirt.

👟 The right shoes according to the cut

• Long high-waisted skirt : heeled sandals, wedge espadrilles, ankle boots for mid-season.
• Short high-waisted skirt : white sneakers, mules, flat sandals.
• Low-waisted skirt : retro sneakers, clogs for a bohemian look or even high boots for fall.

💍 Floral accessories

No matter the cut, floral jewelry , floral print bags , or floral scarves add a finishing touch while reinforcing the identity of your look. Just avoid mixing too many different prints at once to maintain harmony.

4. Final tips: adapt your floral skirt to your personal style

Choosing between a high-waisted or low-waisted floral skirt shouldn't be dictated solely by trends. The key is to stay true to your style, your body shape, and your comfort level. Here are some tips to help you make the choice that best suits you:

✨ If you are classic with a feminine touch

High-waisted, midi-length skirts with structured florals are ideal. Accentuate your waist with a thin belt, add a chic solid top, and finish with elegant ballet flats or loafers. Floral style isn't just for extravagance—quite the opposite.

🧢 If you are streetwear or casual

The low-waisted floral skirt works well here. Pair it with an oversized floral tee, sneakers, and a floral cap if you want to play up the look. It's a great option to break up the overly conservative look of the skirt and give it a new dynamic.

🧡 Dare to try your own version of the floral style

No matter your style, the floral skirt is a canvas for expression. High or low waisted, short or long, it allows for endless combinations. It's up to you to play with volumes, materials, floral accessories, and even the seasons. To go further, explore our articles on cuts according to your body type or on the floral midi skirt .
