Angie says try it, some of you say no way. I wonder if it's like skinny jeans, in that it requires you wearing boots to visually balance everything out. Would a look like this work OK with flats, or other non-boots, I wonder. </p> <p>I remember the longer skirts from the 80s and 90s fondly, at least in practical terms, because you could wear them without tights and not freeze in the fall, or with tights and stay warm in the winter. </p> <p>Traci, I like your picks too. Have you purchased anything from them for fall yet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-and-denim-midi-q#post-638123 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 12:32:09 +0000 ButterflyLady 638123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear it - I don't like all the a-line skirts Boden sell, as they look horrible on me. I would wear it with boots and a sweater like the model is wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-and-denim-midi-q#post-638103 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 12:01:35 +0000 Traci 638103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh bother!

I'm all about midis in light fabric for summer that will swing and sawy, but the denim still looks old-fashioned to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-and-denim-midi-q#post-637784 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 23:27:05 +0000 Angie 637784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks fashionable and flattering because it's tapered. Tapered midis are easier to wear. I vote go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-and-denim-midi-q#post-637778 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 23:18:15 +0000 Traci 637778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a sucker for Boden. I really like the 70's and early 80's bent to this preview. I think this midi is fun.</p> <p>Other favorites of mine from the range are:<br /> they had me at polka dots<br /> <a href="http://www.bodenpreview.com/en-US/Womens-Dresses/Above-Knee-Dresses/WH371-NAV/Womens-Dark-Navy-Pretty-Spot-Placket-Cord-Dress.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenpreview.com/en.....Dress.html</a></p> <p>Very 70's feeling and very fun. Probably not for me, but I'd love to see this on someone.<br /> <a href="http://www.bodenpreview.com/en-US/Womens-Dresses/Knee-Length-Dresses/WH412/Womens-Poppy-Dress.html?NavGroupID=4" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenpreview.com/en.....vGroupID=4</a></p> <p>Very vintage, but fresh to me. I like the black one<br /> <a href="http://www.bodenpreview.com/en-US/Womens-Dresses/Knee-Length-Dresses/WH375-NAV/Womens-Dark-Navy-Star-Spot-Boho-Dress.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenpreview.com/en.....Dress.html</a></p> <p>The oatmeal and paprika plaid jacket is killing me! I've not had great luck with Boden's sizing, but I'm really tempted to try this one out. I'll be stalking it for a while, I'm sure.<br /> <a href="http://www.bodenpreview.com/en-US/Womens-Coats-Jackets/Jackets/WE363/Womens-British-Tweed-Blazer.html?NavGroupID=2" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenpreview.com/en.....vGroupID=2</a></p> <p>eta: Fixed the links </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-and-denim-midi-q#post-637531 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 18:27:25 +0000 celia 637531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It reminds me of the 80's skirts, all right.You might make it work but can you get your mind thinking that you're wearing the new midi and not your old denim skirt? personally I would have a hard time no matter how hard I tried. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-and-denim-midi-q#post-637481 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 17:46:52 +0000 Astrid 637481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you're right and this would be hard to style. I really like the way it looks in the picture, with the short sweater and the boots, but I'm not sure it would look that fab on me if I would try it. I didn't know you could preview the fall collection - I just had a look at it and I like some pieces a lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-and-denim-midi-q#post-636823 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 00:05:12 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 636823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FYI, the upcoming Boden for fall is browsable at bodenpreview.com. They've got a skirt they're calling the <a href="http://www.bodenpreview.com/en-US/Womens-Skirts/Below-Knee-Skirts/WG461/Womens-Modern-Midi-Skirt.html?NavGroupID=13">'Modern Midi'</a> in denim or moleskin. My eye has adjusted to the midis and I like them, but I worry that a skirt like this would be harder to style. It reminds me of the long denim skirts of the 80s and I wonder that for those of us who aren't super-fashionable or skinny it would just look old-fashioned. Thoughts? </p>
