Trend: The Fishtail Skirt

By Katherine Base, June 12th, 2012

This season’s trendiest skirts have been appearing everywhere, and are most commonly known as the “hi-low” hem skirts. Although I like to stick with the basics, there are a variety of names for this style such as: the fishtail skirt, the high-low skirt, the asymmetrical skirt, the diagonal skirt, the fake maxi skirt, the party in the front- business in the back skirt, and of course the most ear-catching: the mullet skirt. I love this trend not only because it is so hot for 2012, but because I feel like a princess when I wear one. It is one of the most elegant looks any girl can wear, and can be so easily put together. At first glance, it draws your attention with its striking hemline, and flirtatious look. It is especially one of my favorites, because of its versatility. Whether off to work, going to an interview, or grabbing a few cocktails with your friends, this skirt is suitable for almost any occasion.
