Is anyone besides me getting tired of the high low hem?

They seem so 2014. I have a couple, but I try to avoid them just like I avoided the cold shoulder.

It's time for it to move along.

I never liked the hi-low hem and never wore it. To my eyes the style made women's legs look short. Chico's has been selling the style in tops. They look awful to me.

I like high-low hemlines and shark-bite hemlines. But they have to cover the right area and well-constructed. I own several tops with these types of hemlines. I am careful to wear pants that flatter the tops and make the look complete, not strange or sloppy.

I've never liked the hi-lo hem, whether it's front and back, or the sharkbite side to side. All my adult life, if I had on a top where the front seemed to be even the slightest bit higher than the back, I was constantly tugging it down.

Now if you have a hem that is like a "shirttail hem", longer in the front and back, but the same length front and back, and goes up on the sides, now I do like that. Like this Isaac top....

I prefer symmetry in all clothing, including skirts and dresses.

I never liked them...I own 2 but will not purchase any additional items. It seems that 2015 brings more of this style.....

OP - are you talking about dresses/skirts or tops?

I love them in tops and in skirts. I look and feel good in them and I get compliments because they seem to complete my outfits.
