I just wonder if it is a trend that will end soon. I own some hi-low and shark bite hems, but I do wonder how long they will be in style. I thought the recent Renee TSV was not a good look, with the lower back hem -- it was too long in back.

Well - when you think about it - what ELSE could designers do? All the tops, sweaters and things have been designed with even hems for years and years - so what else could they possibly change? I won't buy them.

They look sloppy to me and I hope they go away soon. With that, I couldn't help but mention Lori Goldstein and her designs. All my life, I tried to dress as nice as possible. Most of these types of clothing look sloppy and I think - make you look sloppy - like you really don't care. Lori has filled the market with her designs - and once people get their fill of those kinds of designs, where will she go next?

Anyone that is slim and wears tight clothing to show off their figure - surely can't love these designs. I haven't shopped in real clothing stores for a few years - so I don't know what is being marketed in the bigger stores. If this is a trend, then I'm hoping it disappears soon!

I don't like them either. My bustline creates that often enough on its own with a multi-inch difference. High-low hems overly emphasize that I'm all boobs. I'd rather have a low-high hem! I knit short rows into the front of my sweaters to accommodate for the difference.

I love most of the HIGH-low styles. I do not like the HIGH prices even when it's a TSV.

I like and own some, but it depends on how low the low in back is, as I am only 5'4". I am reluctant to invest too much more money in them though, because I wonder when they will go out of style.

I have one that I purchased at Steinmart for 1/3 the price of LOGO. It fits much closer to the body than Lori's so it doesn't tent out.

I have a big rump...lol...and I feel like that long hem in the back will only accent it and make it worse...so I won't buy them....

The longer back hem should even out with the front hem and look the same level if one had ample backside to cover....it doesn't, still looks odd. Thank goodness for even-hemmed tunic length tops.
