There is nothing particulate new about this style. According to Langston, the idea has been around since the 1980's when a dress with a gathered waist that flared out into a full skirt became popular. What has increased the styles popularity this season is the full return to a high waist line. Body con skirts with this style came on trend quite a few years ago. What is different about a skater dress/skirt (or fit & flare) is the flare, which emphasizes your legs instead of everything below the waist.
Shorts, pants and skirts are fully dedicated to accentuating the thinnest part of your body now. (Yay for us!) The high waist silhouette of the skater dress/skirt is right on trend.
Why buy?
If for no other reason, buy this style because it will hit your waist at the correct spot. No matter how much we wore it, our waists were not built for those low-rise jeans. We naturally struggled with those because they were hitting us below the waist, instead of on it.
The somewhat dramatic flare also highlights and elongates your legs. Really the way this happens is by the dress leaving the body and adding more "volume" to your silhouette.
Lastly, the skater dress/skirt is a classic. This is a trend, not a fad. You will not be staring at your closet months from now wondering why you bought those silly dresses. The cut, fabrics, lines and patterns are all off of a basic/classic look. I have already had a skater dress for a year and a half now. Every single time I wear it I get compliments.
No doubt, this style will give you confidence while you are going about your day.
