When something starts appearing in every store and at every price point like this, &nbsp;my inner alarm bell goes off. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1409355 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 17:30:12 +0000 Anonymous 1409355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is one trend that I have embraced with all my heart. &nbsp;It fits perfectly with my personal aesthetic. &nbsp;I am buying them with the hope that their fashion moment is long. &nbsp;If not, I don't care. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408900 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 16:29:14 +0000 Thistle 1408900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No idea if it will suit my body type, and I am not arty by nature. Yet, I have loved these since they I have seen them. I had been lusting after them all spring and summer, but they didn't come in maternity.</p> <p>I have been thinking of adding one for my post maternity capsule, assuming I can find one that works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408772 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 09:15:12 +0000 Deborah 1408772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So relieved Angie gave the thumbs up, because I will be wearing them as long as I can;). I think that even though they have entered the mainstream there is still a slight Avant Garde element to them that I feel will provide longevity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408747 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 06:01:09 +0000 Deb 1408747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not as sure they will have fashion longevity.....varied hemlines go in and out of vogue. That wouldn't stop me from wearing something I love or that particularly suits my body though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408739 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 05:26:31 +0000 Anonymous 1408739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since they are more flattering than a straight line bottom on a top, especially on an older woman who has lost her waist, and with millions of aging Baby Boomers, I predict that they will stay around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408734 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 05:20:09 +0000 Beth Ann 1408734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would be a great way to punch up a pair of work trousers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408723 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 04:45:08 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1408723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw your post earlier but didn't know the answer. Came back to find out! Thanks for asking the question, Thistle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408680 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 03:18:24 +0000 Echo 1408680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Suz. For those who lean in that direction, there have always been asymmetrical items available. It is just that recently they have gone mainstream and are trending. The people who like them (much like moto jackets) will continue to wear them regardless of whether they are popular or not, while those who chose them because they were trendy will likely move on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408673 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 03:06:36 +0000 Jaime 1408673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Suz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408663 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 02:36:23 +0000 MuseumGal 1408663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Asym can be both flowy/boho and strict/structural, so I think it prob has staying power.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408565 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 23:21:32 +0000 catgirl 1408565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope so - they are a key aspect of my wardrobe.&nbsp; I think certain types of asymmetry (like the exaggerated hi-low skirt) will not stay but the BCBG styles will.&nbsp; Maybe that's just wishful thinking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408562 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 23:15:28 +0000 Angie 1408562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up. Asymmetrical hems have staying power.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408464 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 20:21:09 +0000 unfrumped 1408464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote yes, hopefully.<br />I don't actually have any asymmetrical hem tops in terms of the typical angled hem, but have curved, shirttail, split, cocoon,&nbsp;high-low&nbsp;and really like how the not-straight-line hem works to break up the hip line.<br />Surely mild asymmetry has been around a long time and hopefully has longevity. Of course, more dramatic styles are, well more dramatic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408437 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 19:17:38 +0000 shedev 1408437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope so. I love asymmetric hems. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408418 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 18:49:39 +0000 Suz 1408418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For tops? For sure. An asymmetrical hem has a lot of staying power because it almost transcends trends and moves into avant garde territory.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408408 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 18:39:12 +0000 deb 1408408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes for tops. Not so sure about skirts and dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408404 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 18:36:28 +0000 Peri 1408404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them...I hope they stay. I think they are flattering and fun and they make me feel taller for some reason.&nbsp;Hasn't Angie said trends are good for 5 years in these flexible times? I hope that counts here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408402 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 18:34:27 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1408402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them on tops but not as much on dresses. &nbsp;I am not sure that they will have great staying power, but if you like them and they work well on your body, then why not get one or two and wear them to death. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408373 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 17:54:41 +0000 Joyce B 1408373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the same boat. I am hoping they will stay, I am tagging along as I would like to know, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/asymmetric-hems---staying-power#post-1408367 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 17:51:18 +0000 Thistle 1408367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you think? Do you think this trend will be around for a while, or will it look dated in a year or two?</p> <p>I love the drama a simple sweater with an asymmetric hem can add, but I am on the fence as to whether it will still be here in a year or two. </p>
