The full skirt

We're going full circle this year in old-fashioned skirts with a modern twist.

By Maria Barillaro

Designers like Diane Von Furstenberg and Dolce & Gabbana have shown us that the full skirt is back and better than ever. With delicate, feminine gathered waists, full skirts have returned-but with a shorter hemline. This sexy yet elegant skirt is also one of the most versatile pieces of the summer. It'll be the wardrobe staple of this season. You can wear it to work for that office chic look or pair it with an understated top and a flashy pair of killer heels for a night out on the town. We also love how the full skirt begs for a glamorous belt. Wide or thin, this skirt suits them all. A thicker belt can modernize a classic look and emphasize a smaller-looking waistline. A thinner belt will give you a delicate look and it's a great way to highlight your femininity. No matter how you wear it, the full skirt has proved itself worthy of a comeback.
