Top 10 Trends & Must-Haves for Spring #6: Full Skirts
billowy skirts abound at Donna Karan, Louis Vuitton, Anne Klein by Isabel Toledo, Alexander McQueen & Christian LaCroix
A full skirt is a feminine, flattering way to be easy & breezy this spring. Because of the amount of visual volume, create a balanced silhouette by nipping in your waist with a belt, and choose a fabric that swishes and moves. While a print version is fun, you'll get the most fashion mileage out of one in inky navy or black. Here's how to rock your new black full skirt with a white tee & not get mistaken for a cater-waiter:
One of the most chic items to pair with a black skirt and white top is a snug cardigan in a shade of schoolboy uniform grey. This one is actually from a school uniform supplier, and it's machine-washable, hard wearing (it is designed with schoolboys in mind after all), and only $20. Play off the grey with shoes in a complementary shade of safari khaki; keep the whole look edgy with the season's new off-kilter heel. Finish off with a giant red necklace, matching red clutch, and the fun & polish of a man's oversize classic watch.
