You’ve probably noticed by now that there’s a trend that’s
catching on big time among celebs and everyday retailers: high-low skirts. At
first people were a bit slow to latch on to this look because it was like a bad
80s revival, hence the nickname “mullet skirt.” We all remember the poofy
dresses that were short in the front, long in the back, and sometimes tiered,
and nobody wanted to return to that look. But thanks to some simplifying and a
2012 upgrade, this style is coming back in a fashion forward way this season
and we like.
There’s lots of variety for how you can pull this trend off.
In the pic above, Angela Simmons opted for a fitted max-dress with a high-low
skirt that has a dramatic contrast between the front and the back. On the other
end, Christina Milian is pulling off a very flamenco-style high-low skirt with
frill around the hemline. In the middle, Nicole Richie has the skirt style most
retailers like Urban Outfitters and Forever 21 have been going for, which is a
flowy pattern that’s really perfect for the spring and summer temperatures.
We’re always excited about a new dress or skirt style we can
try and this look definitely ups the fashion factor when compared to the maxi,
bohemian, and short skirts that rule this season. The unexpectedly cool thing
about this style is that when that random gust of wind hits you, you won’t have
to worry about showing all of your goods because this long train has you
covered–it’s a stylishly practical win-win. You can also rock this style for a
casual day look or dress it up for nighttime. Nicole Richie has even worn a
formal dress with this style of skirt so we expect to see more evening dresses
with this trend pop up on the red carpet this season.

WHO WORE BETTER.
Who wore it better? A pregnant Kourtney Kardashian just wore
the Raoul Penelope dress to Elton John’s Oscar party last month but Viola Davis
was spotted in the same dress at last year’s 3rd annual Governors Awards
dinner. The white and gold is a timeless combination and looks amazing on both
women but who wore it better? Vote in the comments!
