TrendSpark: Skirts are the New Dress

“If we’d tried to sell skirts on these pages six months ago, we would have been laughed out of our jobs. Er, nobody wants a skirt, the fashion pack would have sneered, it’s all dresses, dresses, dresses. But fashion is a fickle beast and what was last season’s best friend is now the metaphorical dog’s dinner. Put bluntly, dresses are O.U.T. and full skirts are firmly back around our hips - or, to be more precise, hanging from our waists, but more of that later.” According to Timesonline, dresses are out and skirts are back in.
