There are a few reasons why you should choose other garments over a skirt. With pants, for example, you don’t have to worry yourself on the bike or sitting thoughtlessly that little ladylike is flashing out something that you actually wanted to keep hidden. With a dress, on the other hand, you only have to put it on and, in theory, you are already dressed except for the missing shoes, but you do not have to think twice about what should be done in the styling fits the lower part. Therefore it is absolutely understandable that the skirt is not necessarily one of the most popular dresses in fashion. But if you are crazy this spring or want to give skirts a chance for another reason, you should choose one of the following models of the fashion trend.
The Denim Skirt
he denim skirt that Clare Waight Keller showed in her – as it turned out last – spring / summer collection for the French fashion house Givenchy speaks for itself in several respects. On the one hand, it is made of denim and thus maintains the casualness of the trend material, but combines it with more freedom of movement. In addition, this interpretation of the rock trend also makes a statement for more sustainability in fashion: for her creations made of denim processed Waight Keller jeans from the 90s, which get new life through the process of upcycling. By wearing Givenchy’s denim skirt, you are helping a previously unpopular garment to live longer – but suddenly the potential aversion to a skirt suddenly seems slight, right?
In 2020, the denim skirt is so much more than a holdover from the 90s , which can also look serious or sexy, depending on the outfit. This is also shown by Stella McCartney with her model for spring 2020 and combines it on the runway to a delicate, transparent top, mouse gray oversize blazer and rope sandals. You already wear the look to the virtual dance party with your friends and to Corona with a plain-colored t-shirt or a silk camisole in the office. Models in an advantageous midi length and medium blue wash are particularly beautiful for the new season.
The Good Mood Rock
Fashion is much more than what her critics assume (even if she undoubtedly has to adjust for a more sustainable future). It is not only a textile art form and an opportunity to underline your personality to the outside world, but also a soul-flatterer if necessary. It can comfort us when we find it difficult – as is currently the case – to find things that give us pleasure under the circumstances. And can influence our mood and that of our counterpart in a positive way in the sense of color psychology. You can take advantage of this spring, which is different than all previous ones, with a skirt and simply bring back the lack of good mood with the garment.
A few ideas of what that might look like, for example, by putting on a skirt like the one Virginie Viard designed for Chanel’s spring / summer 2020 collection. It is provided with multi-level, fine chiffon ruffles and literally encourages people to get them swinging properly with an extensive round of dancing. Or you can wear one of the super feminine and delicate models that the Swiss label Ici Maintenant shows for the new season – either finely floral or dotted, but in both cases airy and light and suitable for barefooting across meadows as well as for the living room waltz . The mood by Salvatore Ferragamo in royal blue – or, according to Pantone, in classic blue – also creates a good mood – reminiscent of an undulating ocean on summer vacation, which now appears far away or the color of an exotic cocktail in the favorite bar around the corner, which just has to remain closed.
The Mini Skirt
It has been around 60 years since the mini skirt was born, which – although much discussed – is the invention of the British Mary Quant. And for this proud age, the ultra short skirt has held up remarkably. This is shown by the designs of labels such as Fendi, Alberta Ferretti or Chloé, which show the tightly cut skirt for spring 2020 in many variations – sometimes made of PVC in the look of a 70s wallpaper, sometimes made of colorful suede as a patchwork skirt or artistically draped from structured leather. With so little textile that you can wear with the skirt trend on your body, you quickly forget that you are actually wearing a piece of clothing that is actually unappealing to you because it allows as much comfort as freedom of movement. Only when doing the balancing act in the open air or on a two-wheeler should you quickly remember it. But then there is not much in the way of the new love for rock.
