Skirt lengths are going up and up, and designers are making the most of it. But before you leave the house in one of these thigh-friendly styles, don’t forget to practise sitting down.
Mod much? This two-tone stretch mini by Betty Blush (1, Change Room, 425 Queen West, 416-977-0088, $125) is reversible for when white feels right. Mille grazie, Massimo, for making Zellers a hot shopping destination. Check out this denim cargo shorty (2, Zellers, go to hbc.com for locations, $29.97).
How could you not get massive tips working a snap-front lowrider like this black beauty from Talula? (3, Aritzia, 280 Queen West, 416-977-9919, $60). Yo, Betty, this surf skirt is reversible for, like, two different outfits that match your bikini!
(4, Zellers, 19.97.) An olive cargo by Spiewak gets femme-ified with some strategic posterior pleating (5, Change Room, $75). Not exactly for the prudish, this terry number by TNA is all thighs all the time (6, Aritzia, $35).
Two good reasons to buy this sassy mini: assorted colours and fresh drop waist (7, Urban Outfitters, 235 Yonge, 416-214-1466, $50). Make others see spots, among other things. By Swedish Royal (8, Jet Rag, 359 Queen West, 416-979-2677, $119).
Strong enough for a tennis player, made for a fashionista, this white pleated skirt with overlaid squares by Gemma is better off the courts than on (9, Jet Rag, $225). Cheeky monkey, this honey’s so short you just might be…. By Paul Frank (10, Aritzia, $65).
Never mind fat days – a Velcro wrap from Modrobes eases the burden of being beautiful even when bloated (11, Modrobes, 239 Queen West, 416-597-9560, $30). With riveted pocket details, a chain and zippers all over, this yellow mini provides a lot of extras (12, Le Chateau, 772 Yonge, 416-964-7755, and others, $39.95).
