Great Lengths
If the idea of 80s mini-skirts makes you shudder, then thankfully this season's equally modish alternative is the polar-opposite: floor-length fabric. Opt for longer rather than shorter both on top and bottom and avoid tight-fitting shapes. Where possible, choose clothes made of opulent materials such as silk that will flow over and frame your silhouette effortlessly.
1. Topshop Cotton Oversized Shirt £38.00: Keep it simple with a white cotton classic. The longer the shirt, the more prominent it becomes as your outfit's centre piece in order to exuberate low-maintenance sophistication.
2. Free People Hacci Open Black Knit Top in Berry £58.00: A cool, relaxed baggy jumper should no longer be confined to those lazy evenings at home on the sofa. Instead, pair with some jewellery and skinny bottoms for stylish casual wear.
3. Alice + Olivia Air Colorblock Wrap Maxi Skirt £58.34: This silk number softly graces over your curves, highlighting your shape without the clingy obviousness of the pencil skirt.
4. Topshop Unique David Denim Super Wide Leg Trousers £95.00: Combine structured denim with comfort for a tailored take on this trend.
5. Roksanda Flinders Rose Silk Maxi Skirt £1,600.00: For a skirt that swishes and resonates with the classic style heroine Grace Kelly, feel as prestigious as a princess in a flattering and sumptuous number.
