Stars In High Waisted Shorts: Kendall Jenner & More

Stars In High Waisted Shorts: Kendall Jenner & More — Shorts show off a ton of skin as it is, so they don’t need to show off your lower abdomen with an obnoxiously low rise circa 2003. High-waisted shorts are both flattering AND skin-baring, so you can beat the heat and not feel like you need to pull them up 24/7. From denim to leather, there are plenty of fabrics that high-waisted shorts come in, guaranteeing that you can find the perfect pair for any outfit.

We know this trend will be around for a while since it’s been spotted on recent runways. Kendall Jenner modeled a pair of high-waisted shorts for Alberta Ferretti at the designer’s Spring Summer 2019 show on Sept. 19, 2018. The look was finished off with a satin tank top and woven sandals for the Milan Fashion Week event. But this look has also been seen on the street already too. Ahead, you’ll see how plenty of the trendiest stars have styled high-waisted shorts.
