The full skirt style which has been a timeless classic is back with a vengeance.
Marking its mark from the last year’s fashion season, the full swing-y twirly skirts are still pretty hot and relevant this year as it captures the feeling of being at ease with our femininity and offer a nod to the modest signature silhouette of eras past.
If and when the mood for ragged jeans passes and the keen need to push this year’s style boundary comes along, why not make the full skirt a feature in your day or evening wear as a welcome refresher?
Wonder whether to go long or short, hem-wise? Check back in with your weather forecast and whether you’re up for a bit of a leg-flaunting (or not) to decide for certain.
What is a full skirt?
A skirt with a so-called ‘full’ style basically gathers at the waist and tapers gloriously out as it reaches the hem. Referred to as a full circle skirt, it is associated with the poodle skirt which was a significant iconic 1950s look.
Because modern hemlines come in various lengths, expect this retro full skirt style to be adopted by all skirts, short and long, from maxis to minis.
The fashionable way to go with the full skirt is to wear one with a tea length hem, but that’s completely your call.
For those wanting to bring back an aura of the nostalgic past and a feminine allure into just about any outfit, the timeless silhouette of a full skirt will ultimately amp up your style factor.
