Get Celebrity Style: How to Wear Hi-Low Dresses

Hi-low hemline trend slowly creeped into stardom. Now, hi-low dresses and skirts are well-loved by girls for summer. Many celebrities were also spotted wearing the trend. Some creating casual playful takes while others went for elegant looks. Several hi-low dresses were also paraded in the catwalk.

There is something sophisticated with the hi-low hemline. Perhaps it´s its ability to elongate your vertical line. The peekaboo at the front shows more skin, and since the hemlines usually hit just a little below the tip of your fingertip, the front look is very proportion to your height; both contribute to the lengthening of your vertical silhouette. The back look adds modesty. You only how off skin at the front but the back is well covered.

Inspired by these four celebrities: Nicole Ritchie, Eva Amurri, Vanessa Hudgen, and Nina Dobrev, here´s how to wear a hi-low dress fabulously.
