I wear skirts for all four seasons but during the winter I am the only one it seems. Today it was sunny and a balmy 10 degrees C and I was out in a pencil skirt (and regular 15 den stockings instead of the usual wintery 40 den tights) and imagine my surprise to see, within minutes, a woman also wearing a skirt. And then another. And so on until I lost count. In the cafe, a woman came in with a leather skirt and stilettos of all things.
Needless to say I am quite pleased to see this change in style and am hoping it stays. Has anyone else seen a shift towards skirts and dresses again other than on the three hottest days of the year? Any thoughts on reasons? Covid fatigue, just fashion turnover? Or maybe this was just a blip until July but I get a feeling that it’s not.
*please let us not sink into discussions of what women “should” be wearing. This is just about a style that is near and dear to the hearts of many of us.
