We were hoping the celeb-endorsed high-waisted pants trend would have fizzled out by now, but it seems the trend is here to stay - at least for a little while. We’re all for waists moving up a few inches from the days of ultra-low-rise styles, but anything over the bellybutton is just not a good idea. Hey, if superskinny celebrities like Mischa Barton, Jessica Simpson, Fergie and Lindsay Lohan can’t even pull them off, perhaps this bandwagon is not worth jumping on.

100% of the profits from new OmniPeace tees by Signorelli, worn here by Sienna Miller, Courtney Cox and Kevin Costner, will be donated to Millennium Promise, a non-profit organization dedicated to ending extreme poverty by 2025. Their mission is to work village by village in Africa to empower the poor with the skills and tools they need to pull themselves out of poverty and become self-sustainable. A worthwhile cause indeed.
