One of my favorite designers, palette wise, would have to be Chloé.
Even when the sagging silhouettes challenge my go to high-waisted safe place, there's something so effortlessly elegant about the drooping and flowing that can be found in both the Fall '12 & Resort '13 collections.

Since I think that fashion is about the unexpected - about trying something one step outside of the box - and ultimately discovering an aspect of your personal style that you didn't even know existed (a new comfort zone, of sorts),
I decided to mix it up
(or down).
I dropped the waistline, loosened the shirt, and did a little Chloé interpretation of my own.
So here I bring you two looks: 1 fem, 1 masc.

[Mind you, my interpretation of "fem" includes a men's tee ...
so ....
everything with a grain of salt.

Or sugar.
Why is it never sugar?]
Anyhow. I think that I may have found a new casual go-to.
Just as long as there's a little flare (or a lot, depending upon the wind velocity)
I'm still able to balance out my "long torso" (a fact of which I'm notified disconcertingly often) - even with the lowered waistline.

I'm also liking how the trend comes fully equipped with a certain I-don't-care vibe, and allows me to maintain my boring earthy color palette. So ultimately - not so outside of my comfort zone. But alas, for the sake of the post, let us just pretend.
Are you folks committed to the high-waist, or are you low-riders?
Does it change with the years?

Chloe torments me on a fairly regular basis ... sigh. I think you really nailed the Chloe-channeling here, esp with the fem look.
