It’s a always been a style  beloved by those of us who collect and wear vintage fashion because it’s so cute, flattering, feminine and sexy.  Sort of a  mischievous girl next door look.

But the style is now experiencing a revival, thanks to celebrities like DIta Von Teese and Christine Aguilera. Even designers showed interpretations of of those cute 40s style high waisted shorts in their 2008 summer collections.  But if you really want to channel your inner Vargas girl next season,  you could go for the authentic look by buying the genuine article, made in the 1940s,  or buy from a company who specializes in reproducing the actual styles.  Don’t forget the high heeled platform shoes and red lipstick!
