Hemlines come in many variations, and depending on the occasion, you can choose among diverse styles that can be created. The high-low trend requires you to move away from structured and tailored pieces to something more avant-garde; curved, scalloped, and edgy-jagged hems appear on spring pieces, lending them certain nonchalance. So, you can go edgy, ultra-feminine, boho-chic, or even punk with this trend!

Dresses, skirts, and shirts have been seen on the runway rocking the asymmetrical trend. It upgrades a rudimentary hemline into something more imaginative. Be it a formal look or a more casual look, Spring 2016 has flaunted it all; the adaptability of the asymmetrical hem is apparent through the diverse ways designers have interpreted this trend. I love this trend for its simplicity yet inimitability.

This is such a great post! I too am a huge aficionado of the asymmetrical hemline. 🙂 It adds such an unexpected element to any outfit and, more often than not, makes the entire outfit look edgy!
p.s. Always love your work, Tanya!
Thanks for taking the time to read through and comment, Mayuri.
What I most love is the quality of the whole post – from writing to photography! When I first started blogging, I was never into quality… all I wanted was to get popular, I guess. But when I discovered your blog and started reading it, I realised that I wanted more from me! Thank you for inspiring, Tanya! ❤️
Thank you for your affectionate and kind thoughts, Saroj!
Absolutely loved this post! Diagonal lines create movement. They also create an unexpected element. If you’ve noticed, classic garments are always symmetrical. 🙂
Thank you for adding to my post so wonderfully, Khushbu!
This is such a wonderful blog, which I thoroughly enjoyed reading,! So, why do I love asymmetry? Well, it brings that important creative element of my personality to my outfit, and that’s a really important element of my style! 🙂
Thank you for your artistic expression, Nilam!
Love this post and the outfit pointers! I love an asymmetrical hem, particularly over my middle, as it takes away one more horizontal line that can look widening and unflattering if on the wrong point on my body…
Thank you for resonating with this and your sweet appreciation, Poonam.
Striking visuals, Tanya! An element of my style is that I am rather fond of asymmetry in garments. I love the diagonal line that creates movement and action, and for me a little quirky interest too. 🙂
Always a delight to have you share your thoughts, Chetna!
The chicest hemlines aren’t even. 🙂 Personally, I’m thrilled that all things asymmetrical are taking center stage this season, because they’re often much more versatile than their even hemmed cousins. And, I love that they can be dressed up or down with ease.
Agreed! Thank you very much for sharing my views, Diksha.
When it comes to asymmetrical styles, the first thing that often comes to my mind is the common handkerchief hemline with sharp corners. A style I can see myself living in this summer! ✨ Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome, Rekha. So glad you enjoyed this post!
I love that designers this season, have come up with even more creative ways to incorporate asymmetry below the belt! Great post, Tanya! 🙂
Thank you for your interest and appreciation, Anam.
Whether it’s the soft, subtle undulations across the bottom of a skirt, or interesting detailing down one pant leg, the options are endless and the styles feel fresher than ever! Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure, Kusum. Thank you so much for commenting!
While this season is all about asymmetry, this look also picks up on another important trend for spring ~ ruffles. As you can tell, I can’t get enough!
So happy to hear this from stylish you!
Ooh ~ love these visuals! I personally find a pencil skirt with a sleek asymmetrical hemline to be über chic! It’s safe to say you know what I’ll be wearing to work on Monday… 🙂
Thank you, Mansi. I’m happy to hear this!
So obsessed with these looks ~ I need them in my life now! 🙂 I completely agree that asymmetrical pieces are so much more versatile and flattering! Thank you for sharing.
I’m so glad you resonate with this, Radhika.
