As someone with a flair for dramatics, I am absolutely loving this season’s new-to-me pant shape—high waist trousers with sky high slits. This billowy silhouette calls for a cropped top or sweater to lend balance to the ensemble. Before New York was hit with a snow storm and freezing temps, I styled this look with open toed booties, but would not recommend trying this at home now that the ground is covered in dirty slush. A sturdy winter bootie should do the trick until the ground thaws for spring.

Below, I’ve rounded up more high waist pants and crop top combinations to try your hand at this look for yourself. These red pants (only $50!) and this ruffled top are high on my to-try list! Have a favorite?
