Economy: High-waisted Ruched Pencil Skirt, $22.99 (Charlotte Russe at the Dolphin Mall, 11401 NW 12th St., Doral. 305-599-3000)

Do you feel as if the central part of your body is competing with your legs in length? No worries -- long-torsoed women have the perfect body shape for the still-in-style high-waisted skirt. This pencil skirt keeps the elegant, '40s-inspired look current with a ruched waistband, hook-and-eye front closures and a six-inch back slit.

Top of the Line: Roberto Cavalli High-Waisted Skirt, $1,295 (Saks Fifth Avenue at Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Ave., Bal Harbour. 305-865-1100)

Stay sophisticated in this high-waisted skirt made of stretch Italian wool. And, lest it appear plain and simple, the skirt bears, in true Cavalli style, a bit of flash with a detailed gold chain that cinches at the waist.
