The low-waisted skirt is a must for spring: 10 looks spotted on the catwalks to adopt it

Inspired by the 2000s, the low-waisted skirt is one of the key pieces for spring 2025. Long or mini, flared or fitted, it plays with styles and divides as much as it seduces.

If the 2010s saw the undeniable high waist, it is now the turn of its rival, the low waist, to make its way onto our skirts. Usually worn on our jeans and trousers, it is making a gradual comeback on the catwalks and in the streets, driven by the Y2K aesthetic. In spring, it comes in all its forms and oscillates between assumed sensuality and a mastered effortless style. The catwalks swore by it, first in autumn-winter 2024-2025, then in spring-summer 2025: long or mini, the models fall on the hips, sometimes well below the navel. A comeback that is not unanimous: considered too daring and audacious for some, the low waist is also a symbol of female emancipation. A look back in pictures at these looks that will make you love the low waist skirt. 

How to wear a low-waisted skirt elegantly?

Exit skirts that go up above the navel. As soon as the good weather arrives, we bet on the low waist. On the catwalks, the houses emphasize its feminine and versatile side that adapts to all styles, by offering their version that is both elegant and casual. Rather long like the column skirt , spotted at Acne Studios, it offers a sophisticated look, while elongating the silhouette. With it, we can bet on a short top that reveals the lower part of the stomach, but also, an asymmetrical top that will break up this strict side of the pencil skirt. If we dare to wear prints at Versace, we opt for bright colors and accessories at Miu Miu. Midi and pleated, the preppy skirt comes in a more daring version: in vinyl, two-tone, with jeweled belts in accumulation… To adopt it, we dare to wear vibrant shades, like pink that we associate with a classic white t-shirt or in layering, with a short jacket or a light cardigan. More difficult to wear, but just as stylish and elegant, the mini skirt is invited at Chanel, in tweed and pastel blue. At Roberto Cavalli, it wants to be more bohemian in a total white look, chic and refined.
