TAKE A LONG VIEW THE FLOOR SWEEPING SKIRTS
Dramatic ultra-long skirts cannot be ignored. Winter 2013 catwalk shows revealed a continuing wish by designers to include this silhouette in the fashion mix; even if they are just one option among many different hemlines, from just below the knee to just above the ankle. But how to wear the maxi-length with conviction? Best with boots for winter. Unless you are going for a longer length for evening. Figure hugging tops – perhaps a simple white shirt or fine black roll necked sweater. With this longer length the short waisted jacket with strong shoulders works well. It’s a cinematic, film-noirish vibe from we see at Prada (above right) Celine etc showing nipped-waist coats and skirt suits very – Hitchcock blonde.
