What's New in Skirts This Season

This season's skirts are cinched at the waists with skirts ending slightly above the knee. The runways favor black, gray, metallics and jewel tones in a skirt. Pencil skirts create a polished look and are great professional wear for the office. Lengths vary in skirts and just about any length skirt is in vogue.

A skirt that matches your jackets are the where separates are concerned. A black skirt is recommended. That way, your new skirt, when paired with a favorite black jacket, would make a great new skirt suit that is just right for Fall 2008. That black skirt would go well with your other tops too and a smart switch of accessories would update it for Spring, Summer and the seasons ahead. The black skirt is a classic wardrobe piece of women's clothing, so invest in a great black skirt that can be one of your wardrobe basics.

Skirts don't have to be only about business either A frilly chiffon skirt would go beautifully with matching tops for this season's romantic look. It could be black, red, pink or any color that matches a simple top. Of course, if you want to stay in trend, the color purple will be favored for Fall and Winter 2008/2009.


Next upcoming season is winter. Party season. What type of skirt should you wear? A metallic skirt would look great. If your hips are narrow, go for a pouf or full metallic skirt for drama and to give you curves. If your hips are wide, slim them down with a narrow black skirt but a glittery top.

Another skirt considered hot for the fall and winter season is the high waisted skirt. That skirt is wonderful for long torsos. It visually shortens the torso and makes legs look longer in contrast.

Animal prints are hot in skirts this year, too. This season's animal prints do not look like any particular animal, though. I guess designers are sick of animal rights activists barging into their shows with anti-fur protests so they feature prints that are clearly not real fur, so animal protectors know for sure no animal had to give up its life in the name of fashion. A stunning animal print skirt makes you look sexier and it spices up your look. Of course, it should be worn with a solid top.
