Elaine and I would love to comment on one of the new hemline trends present this fall.

In the Wall Street Journal we noticed a fascinating article entitled, “The 75 Percent Solution.”

This article discusses a new hemline that falls below the knee, half way down the calf. This look encompasses a hemline anywhere from just below the knee to a few inches above the ankle.

To successfully pull off this look, which is curiously in between a mini and a maxi, your outfit must be extremely current! Also heels are a must, this trendy new look will not work with flats. It’s important to shop for current styles; we can’t just pull past fashion trends out of our closet for this very current below the knee look. It may not be a look everyone can pull off but it is definitely hitting stores this fall. The key is pairing it with some “smashing” heels! This is not a fall back to the 80’s mid length denim skirt, think slimming and very fitted.

We love to see your photos! Please post your photos on our Facebook page. What do you think??
