[Kimkhuu]

Showed too much legs during past seasons? Looks like long skirts are making a strong comeback for S/S 06...

Crap.. I'm screwed.. long skirts are WAAAAY too long on me.. it's bad enough that when I buy a knee length skirt, on me it turns out to be an ankle length skirt.

I hate being so short.

Kimkhuu - thanks for the lovely topic.

I have to say, though, that quite a handfull of fashion trends/looks are catered toward model-proportioned women, and this is one that I feel to be right up there with skinny pants. I would look absolutely goofy in a floor-length skirt, but I do adore the look.

^ Totally agree with you Erin. And also, they aren't really convenient for every day life, unless of course you're some princess who doesn't really need to do much walking around.......

I would have so much trouble walking for example to school, with such a LONG skirt..!

haha.....
another one of my 'trademark' looks...
love long skirts with movement.........

**even if you are not a princess...
it certainly makes you feel like one...

...
i think it may grab hold this time since everyone was wearing those tiered boho 'gypsy' skirts for s/s 0...those were floor length...
so this could be an extension of that...
best worn with boots... or flats...

^^edit-s/s 05...

..
my dang edit button still does not work!!!...grrrrr.....

btw---this is also part of the new gothic trend...

it seems that almost everything this fall is part of neo gothic really...

I love long skirts when they're cut nicely (flare a bit at the bottom...but not so you look like a bell) but absolutely detested gypsy skirts....the tiers just detract from the flowing elegant line.

I like my long skirts with a hint of viktorian and gothic influences. preferably black..

I just love how they were done at Rochas

Can someone 160cm tall wear these? I have a long black silk skirt from Ann Dem which isn't too bad in summer,but I saw a beautiful wool one by isabel Marant,but I tried it on and looked 60 instantly,so I guess the answer is "no".

 

[Kimkhuu]

I have actually HATED long skirts for most of my life, now they're very slowly growing on me...

 

[Kimkhuu]

QuirkyCool, I think it really depends on the skirt style... I think there's a style for every type of body.
