i hate this trend! its everywhere on everyone.. and its like everyone's wearing it the same uniform way

I generally HATE the tiered ones with a passion. I like long flowing skirts though in similar materials, I just like the flow of them, but the tiered ones just are so to me

EXACTLY what I think!!!! The tiered ones I just can't stand. They look so predicatable and forced and blah. But I am huge skirt person and always have been, so I love a long, flowy skirt. It's just that I am sick of seeing people in a cotton voile or gauze floor-length or knee length skirt, often with lots of sequins, often in a bright color like aqua or turquoise or sunny yellow, or ombre. Worn with a tank top, flip flops and shades. These just look dumb to me. In fact, I think most trends can be done right and look good, but a skirt like I described above just doesn't seem to have any hope to me. I can't imagine it looking nice. The "peasant" look is all about the earthiness and simpleness, but making the skirt some neon color and adding sequins or lots of metallic beading defeats the purpose, just making it look way too trendy and weird.

^ I def agree with you!! It's funny how some people wear these skirts to look boho, I even have a friend who wears them because she likes to think of herself as a hippie lol...but by using obnoxiously bright colors and sparkles, it kind of defeats the whole purpose, or should I say IDEA of them! Think about their name..peasant skirt, peasant being the key word! I do have to say I love this picture, I think that Nicky really pulled the look off, yes it is tie dyed, and she doesn't exactly have a boho or hippie look going on, but she could pull it off. That outfit could have easily looked very ticky-tacky, but imho it didn't. I'm not a fan of peasant skirts on everyone, especially not the Olsen's. I think that it makes them look even shorter than they are, I think you should be at least 5'2" to wear a a peasant skirt! lol..but I think that Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton (sometimes Nicky), and Victoria Beckham can really pull them off and look fabulous in them!! And when Jessica or Victoria wear their hair down with a peasant skirt I think they actually look pretty boho, which is saying something because as we all know they're usually considered the 'glam girls'!

To be honest, I do like them... they are way better looking on most people than a mini skirt or (good grief) those tiered miniskirts that make you look like a middle schooler. I am more on the heavy side, and cropped jeans, miniskirts, just don't look right on me... the peasant skirt actually looks slimming, if you get the right cut. All the ones I have are from India, and they are good quality. I usually wear mine with a black cardigan, camisole, and Dr. Scholl's. For me, it's an easy way of dressing up without having to worry about hose, or worry about someone looking up your skirt.

I agree they are slimming. I too am a bit heavy...I'm working on it though cuz I will be slim again. Tangent. The tiered version of the peasant skirt is not that cute. I cannot stand when they are not lined if they are in a very light color. I like the long peasant skirts not the ones that fall at the knee. I think that this medium skirt makes people's calves look bigger than they really are.

I think Victoria looks rather good in the black tank and cream skirt.

When the skirt is too long however, it makes the body appear much shorter. I have a couple peasant skirts and they're very earthy and neutral unlike some of these with razzle dazzle here and a razzle shmazzle there (Paris Hilton...grr)

 

[FashionFix]

They look pretty sometimes--like on Rachel Bilson, but overall, don't like it!
They are so common now, it's like seeing all of the celebs in sweatpants.

I like the long ones that hit the floor, too. Only, I had to go out and by some slips to wear underneath the light colored ones that I have. I bought three 32" slips at Kohl's the other day for under $20 (Sale). I am in the middle of weight loss, too... and these are way better to wear in the process.

Kirsten Dunst in a long white peasant skirt. I'm lovin it

 

[liberty33r1b]

^yeah, i like that skirt too. very cute!

 

[sakina]

Personally I think Ashley Olsen & my Mom are the only ones who look half decent in them. I'm not really into the whole looking like peasant and I think it makes you look like your rolled out of bed and grabbed the first thing you saw. It's VERY unoriginal.

 

[juliadawn]

They are lovely

kate hudson in a couple
I think these two celebs have officially made the peasant skirt and loose comfy tee my fav combo for this look.

 

[bexy]

I love this trend!! I don't wear them with flip flops tho... I like ballet flats or small heeled sandals.

I like them but too many people wearing them now. Too many floating all around. I saw a white full length one and was just about to take it off the rack when I looked up and saw another girl wearing something almost exactly like it at another counter. Needless to say, I put it back and left. Definitely not getting one now.

that's so true.. it's almost like emo or indie rock. theyre only appealing when it's pretty much exclusive or at least not known/excepted by all

 

[Cosette]

I adore them... they're so comfortable, and look so beautiful- not to mention the twirling potential.

 

[stilista]

^B) twirling potential....know exactly what you mean

I know these skirts are everywhere, but I do really like them. I haven't bought anything peasanty just because it's such a popular look but the skirts always catch my eye on the rails. I might buy a few of the nicer ones at sale-time and keep them for a few years then wear them in my own kinda way when the gypsy-extravaganza is well 'n' truly over.
