When the great high-waist comeback was predicted last year we may well have scoffed at it, but sure enough, high waists are now all over the catwalk and the high street. Still not convinced? You will be...

We thought low-rise was the way forward and high waists were gone, never to return (except on embarrassing photos from the Eighties, perchance). How wrong we were! Today's styles flatter hips, stomachs and backs and can be adapted to suit any style, and they've got us going crazy for all things high-waisted.

High waists can look good on anyone - here are 5 reasons to get into them, pronto!
