Over the weekend I was reading through the May edition of Harper's Bazaar UK and with every turn of the page I was left thoroughly inspired. With every page there were adverts by the very crème de la crème of designers - Dior, Chanel and Louis Vuitton - all showcasing completely modest ensembles. Modest dressing is back in style and is as refined as ever. For those of you that cover your elbows, knees and collarbones, now is the time to take note and be inspired from the top fashion houses. There are so many looks that you can incorporate into your everyday look that it is hard not to be inspired. In the 6 'Bazaar Loves' this month The Midi Skirt featured number 4 as 'the new trend.' We are being told to dress modestly! What is even more striking is the fact that all the top people in the fashion world, from Leigh Lezark to Giovanna Battaglia, who are featured on this page have chosen to pair their midi skirt with tops that completely cover their upper half. It seems that the midi dictates modest dressing - covering your knees appears synonymous with covering your elbows and collarbone. Needless to say I have been left in awe and with key tips on how to wear this trend to perfection by stylist, Leith Clark.
- ''Define the waist with a belt, tuck or peplum, as the stylist Giovanna Battaglia has done: don't let a full skirt overwhelm your body shape.''
- The secret to a long pencil skirt, like the model and DJ Leigh Lezark's, is keeping shoes simple and pointed to flatter the leg.''
- ''Wear a short cropped jacket, or a coat the same length as your skirt, like the photographer Hanneli Mustaparta.''
These tips are key to following this trend yet still making sure that it is flattering to your figure.
The kneelengthskirt is back in fashion and looks like it's here to stay! How are you wearing this trend?
