Say goodbye to thongs or muffin tops protruding over the top of your trousers when you bend over! High waists skim your derrière and emphasise the curve of your back for a guaranteed sexy effect.

The Sexy back effect is the same with a looser, flared cut or skinnies. 

If you have a generous bum, go for a pencil or flared skirt, or button-ups to highlight the small of your back and hide the lower part of your derrière.
