The days of unwittingly flashing your everything when getting out the car and struggling to retrieve something you’ve dropped without creating a scene are at an end: longer hemlines are back!  (Oh happy day!)

What was once reserved for dowdy ladies attending afternoon tea, is in the midst of a fashionable revival thanks to Marc Jacobs’ recent Luis Vuitton designs.  Unlike the mini skirt, this  hemline which falls mid-calf, is wearer friendly and creates a universally flattering retro-feminine silhouette. 

To keep it youthful, find bright colors and flirty prints and avoid the frumpy by focusings on definitive waists and a voluninous skirt.
