STRIKING THE BALANCE ON THE STREET

February 06, 2014

There's something about a gypsyesque bellowing style skirt that's wonderfully alluring. As someone who is on the shorter scale of things I've always found that when I wore it right it did wonders for my body.It not only elongates my legs , it also defines the waist area and makes everything else look quite proportionate.This particular ensemble was shot in Milan by Streetpeeper truly caught my eye, I think it was the rich Prussian blue shirt against the woodland pearl skirt which when combined together makes it look just perfect.It's a simple yet very striking look . As featured on Spring/Summer catwalks by Raf Simmons for Dior where he send down a wrath of full skirted gowns with flared hips galore and again we've seen this trend sprawling around at Mary Kantrantzou with her dramatic kaleidoscopic prints and at Peter Pilotto whose Fall/Winter collection was heaving with glorious cacoon shaped skirts in their printed forms and the brightest of colours.The best thing about the this look is that it works for both spring and winter as well.Instead of just wearing a simple t-shirt by itself it could also be teamed up with a light sweater or a chunky knitted jumper slightly tucked in at the waist or accessorised with a pendant to finish it off of your going for a brazen look.I think the best play on this trend was the wrapped up detachable skirt which could be worn with cigarette trousers or a clean cut pansuit. There are definitely a lot of options for everyone
