“The look can be a bit mature and sophisticated, but this skirt shape isn’t something girls should be afraid of,” says Mary Kate.
If you are like us, and you live in a location with warm weather year-round, all this chatter about fall trends and fall fashion is probably falling on deaf ears. But don’t despair-you can still have your fall taste with some of the awesome seasonal trends that will blow you away. Take the knee-length skirts. They are perfect and wearable for any type of place.
Your closet probably has shorts for days, but you are in your twentysomethings, and this is the time to show-off some legs in a classy way. What a better way to do it than by using those figure-flattering knee-length skirts?
Now, the tricky-not-so-tricky part about wearing the knee-length skirt
The key to this length is to find a fair balance between conservative and sexy. Designers are recommending using the knee-length skirts with crop tops to expose SOME of your upper body. For example, you could wear a back cut-out shirt or a little bit of cleavage when wearing knee-length skirts (but don’t be too skimpy), or even your arms, this way you will enhance the feminine part of wearing such a “long” skirt. If you want to go with a more conservative look, try fitted-blouses or shirts, pieces that show your upper curves, because honestly, it is kinda’ hard to pull off baggy over baggy.
For the dresses it is quite easy, try wearing a belt to accentuate your figure if the dress permits it, if it does not, because of the fabric, then it is up to the shoes (my advice: I would go with some strappy high heel sandals) and of course accessories, try to wear the most feminine and classiest jewelry you can find. Good Luck!
