I love when fashion repeats itself. That’s what fashion is, right? Many new trends are just recycled old trends. It keeps things new and interesting. It’s fun to see what it was like to be a woman from a different time period and wear what she wore. This day and age fashion has repeated itself so many times you can pretty much wear anything and be ok. I love that because I like fashion from all decades. I like morphing into someone new. It is a form of creativity and a way of expressing yourself.
If you live in a place like New York, Paris, Milan or Los Angeles you could walk out in a potato sack and it would be considered fashion. People tend to express themselves more freely. That is why I love looking at blogs and sites where people do just that. See The Sartorialist, for example. I used to spend hours looking at this site before I had my blog. I still glance at it from time to time but now with Instagram there are so many fashion photographers around the world that I follow.
This trend has been popular for years now, although you don’t see many wearing them. In fashion blogs, yes, but they are not common walking down the street. I believe this is because people don’t know how to wear them or don’t think they can pull them off. This skirt was prevalent in the 1940’s and attempted to make a reappearance in the 1970’s but didn’t work because people were just getting into mini skirts.
With the midi, it’s best to wear a form fitting or tucked in top since the bottom half flows. If not, then you should cynch your waist with a belt. Or.. you can do both if you are Olivia Palermo. 🙂 It should be higher up on the waist and fall between the knee and the start of your ankle. If you are on the shorter side, I would stick to one that is right at or just below the knee, not too much longer. If you are tall, any length will do!
I think an open toed shoe or pointy heel would look best although you can also pull off high boots, flats and a low or high booties.
How would you style it?
