I've not seen one that looks good on anyone, from the tallest to the smallest. Asymmetrical, shark bite, high low, well...I can't choose which one I dislike the least. Perhaps the shark bite: high in the crotch with flaps at the part of a woman we like to slim down, not look like riding pants or saddle bags. They're not for me. Like other trendy items, I just let them pass.

I have quite a few of the asymmetrical and the shark bite hemlines, pretty much all are One World. (I probably like the asymmetrical type better, but both are OK with me).  I am tall with long legs so I guess I can carry the look off fine. I just try to limit how many of these types of hemlines I buy though and look for more tops with the traditional straight across hemlines. The different hemlines have been around now for a few years now, I don't really see them going any where.... but, then again.... who knows..., no telling what these people will come up with next.... 😉.

I love them.  I have several from Indigo Thread.  I love wearing them with leggings with either a high scrunched boot or a higher heel bootie.

I hated them at first, but now am warming to the idea.  I still haven't bought any - the ones I've tried on in the stores didn't look good on me.  I prefer shirts/tops that are longer in the back than the front - not so much the sharkbite styles with different lengths on the sides.  As is usual for me, but the time I learn to love them, they'll be out of style.

I was never quite sure about the uneven hem until I tried it. I am a little o/c and like everthing even too but after wearing some pieces, I like the variety it brings to my wardrobe.  I think I need to change it up sometimes.

I like them.  They work for me.  I'm tall - 5'8".

 

I usually wear a skinny/straight leg jean with them. 

 

I have such a variety of tops in my closet.  I don't box myself into one style, so I don't get sick of things quickly.

I agree (as usual!)

While I'm aware of what specific shapes look best I never say never if something really appeals to me and/or looks great on a model I can relate to bodytype-wise.

@queen Betty    Soft Surroundings.  Fit and fabric is great ... price is a bit high, but worth it.

If you don't think shorter gals look good in the asymmetrical tops just check out Jessie from LOGOs blog. Jessie is only about 5ft 3 she says and she looks better than those models they trot out Monday nights.
