Last night at a party a bunch of women cornered me and asked what was
fashionable for summer. They all knew the "long" short was in, but two
of them had actually purchased these garments and, to their dismay,
found out what I've known all along: they're horribly unflattering.
You have to know what works for you. I don't care if the long short is
"in;" unless you're 6'7" and weigh 89 lbs., you're going to look
squat. Even Gwennie Paltrow looks terrible in them. (Yes, even after
she added some cute espadrilles.)
A simple skirt or skort is a much more flattering option. The skirt is
breezy, casual and fun; the skort has all those benefits plus you can
actually move freely without fear of exposure. Pair them with a fitted
tee and sneakers or flat sandals.
Here are two of my top picks for summer:
Prana tie-dyed skirt, $44, www.athleta.com
REI Mojave Skort, $42, www.rei.com
