No skirting the issue

“When’s the last time you wore a skirt?” designer Rebecca Taylor asks me.
Um … does a bathing suit cover-up count? A towel wrapped around my waist paired smashingly with a tank top?
Like the rest of NYC gals, I’ve been loving the dress trend for the past few seasons, as my friends, co-workers and anyone else I’ve so much as encountered in the last year can attest to. But Taylor’s enthusiasm has got me thinking that it’s time to change things up a bit.
“It’s the craziest thing,” she says. “I’m so desperate for a skirt.”
That sentiment is mirrored in her spring collection — which includes several knee brushing, slightly A-line styles in a variety of colors (strawberry, cream, grey, black). Taylor recommends tucking a shirt into one of her feminine pieces to create a neat, tailored look (no pun intended).
A cute addition? Pockets. And, thankfully, hers are stitched down and have no extra fabric around the thighs.
“Men just don’t get it — you don’t need extra bits of fabric around the thighs,” Taylor says.
We agree in more ways than one.
