Beads and sequins appear, mostly for evening which still is as dressy and shiny as ever. Sheers are also still wonderful, particularly in dressy blouses worn under tailored jackets and are tailored or frilly with ruffles, lace and smocking. Styles Jackets Jackets are a key clothing group this season. They are fairly close to the body and range from just below the waist to duster length. The shorter the length, the more tailored and shapely they are.
Jackets have softer shoulders and are shaped without heavy structure.
Pants Pants appear almost twice as frequently as skirts as the season changes. Looks range from very close to the body and fitted, such as riding pants to very tailored and close to the body in military or menswear looks to softer and more loose fitting, in softer and dressier fabrics. Ranging from the mini to just above the ankles, wear what works for you. If you wear a longer skirt it should hit your leg at a narrow point rather than at the widest part of your calf. Stand up straight in a full length mirror to check the length.
