legless

I think the whole world is used to seeing Alexa Chung's thighs. Well, if not thighs then definitely her knees. She is the matron of the mini skirt, the doyenne of the denim cut offs, the siren of the short shorts. Rarely if ever does she lower her hemline, her legs are, undoubtedly and unashamedly, her thing. And who could blame her with pins like hers? If it was me I would be constantly showing them off...

Until I got sick of it. Enter Fashion Week:



Barely even a kneecap in sight. What's going on? Where have those legs gone? The answer is - hidden under this season's super-fabulous, super-demure, super-lovely dresses and skirts where modesty is king (or, should I say, queen), and legs are a thing of the past. The old adage if you've got it, flaunt it, seems a little tired and sad today. Much better is if you've got it, dress like you don't have it. Or, if you've got it, who really cares? These gorgeous, flowy skirts range from mid-calf to knee length and are simple, chic, and oh so lovely. They gather and they drape or they cling and accentuate, but either way they lose none of Alexa's fashion appeal, if anything, they only add to it. 

And besides, after years of parading those pins around, we still know that underneath all that fabric, she's still got them.
