A:
This season has begun the shift forward to ‘lady-like’ styling. Previously seen androgynous looks are being refreshingly replaced with more feminine lines, through new silhouettes, hemlines and the return of the skirt. Top international designer collections have been flooded with skirts and they are here to stay for Winter 2014. The key to this trend is to embrace it and experiment with what works best for you and your body shape.
The tunic has been replaced with the skirt and shift dress with hemlines finishing just above the knee. For those women who love their legs, get them out and accessorise with opaque tights and a shoe with ankle detailing, either a chunky ankle boot or strappy shoe. For those women who feel it isn’t flattering to show their legs, I recommend wearing the skirt with a dark tight and higher boot, or slimlegged pants and ankle boots. At Repertoire we have embraced this new direction and will keep you fashion forward for seasons to come.
