Especially for the glowing. No-one ever says that to me I will keep an eye out for a skirt for you. I love vicarious shopping.</p> <p>Thanks FC. I’m surprised an asymmetric skirt is not part of your repertoire because I know you like asymmetric tops. Like Janet said, I think the diagonal line is much more flattering. You could whip one up by the weekend couldn’t you? Make one for me too. Pretty please.</p> <p>Thanks Shevia, Lisa, The Cat, RobinF and ClaraB.</p> <p>Sterling, thank you for that lovely message. I look forward to hearing more from you. I always enjoy your analytical approach. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt/page/2#post-2128088 Thu, 18 Jun 2020 04:24:40 +0000 Brooklyn 2128088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thanks for the K2K. I knew you’d be on board too. Love your collection!</p> <p>I also like a rounded hem. Does that count as asymmetric? I find it has similar flattery advantages. Not as harsh as a horizontal line. This one may have found it’s way to me. And look, pleats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt/page/2#post-2128066 Thu, 18 Jun 2020 02:44:01 +0000 Jaime 2128066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous and signature! I definitely can think of two asymmetrical skirts that I like to wear but after this thread I feel primed to manifest another one ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt/page/2#post-2128030 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 22:57:07 +0000 Suz 2128030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, you look glowing and just sensational! Love the colours on you, and echo Angie on your wavy hair. What a great skirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>I adore asymmetrical skirts, tops, whatevers! Alas, I do not currently have as many of them as I might wish! And of course your post instantly sent me off to search for some, but I didn't find anything that made my heart sing.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway, my current asymmetrical skirts/ dresses are below. The asymmetry on the last skirt is a bit hard to see -- it's not really asymmetrical in length. It has asymmetrical pleats that are just a little "off" and funky.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt/page/2#post-2128020 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 22:09:54 +0000 ClaraB 2128020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m loving your title almost as much as your gorgeous outfit!

I love the outfit. And it makes so much sense: if it's A-line it must be asymmetrical. I have had a difficult time with A-line skirts, feeling less than fab in them. Your rule of thumb is a revelation to me! I will have to check it out on myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127935 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 14:04:22 +0000 Anonymous 2127935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Simply stunning. &nbsp;I LOVE assymetric skirts and dresses and see them as being incredibly elegant .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127934 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 13:59:32 +0000 RobinF 2127934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love asymmetry but don't think I have any in my closet.

I knew you’d be on board. I 100% agree about diagonal vs horizontal lines. Love your examples!</p> <p>And thanks PP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127925 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 13:09:54 +0000 Janet 2127925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit! It makes me want fall already, even though summer has barely begun here. ;-)</p> <p>Another big fan of asymmetrical skirts and dresses. My body is very asymmetrical so it feel like these styles kind of work with me. I often tie the hem of certain long floaty skirts to create a faux asymmetric hem too. I find that diagonal lines are so much more flattering on me than harsh horizontal ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127923 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 12:54:31 +0000 Preppy Pear 2127923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous skirt - lovely outfit!

I’m going for a “vintage Bohemian” vibe. Bohemian = not stuffy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127921 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 12:48:37 +0000 Brooklyn 2127921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks DL. I miss your posts. I covet lots of things in your wardrobe! I’m going to team the skirt with teal, burgundy and black too. Maybe dark green. All my favourite colours </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127919 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 12:45:28 +0000 nemosmom 2127919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh, Brooklyn you look gorgeous in that outfit!! I have never tried an asymmetric skirt but love how they have a less stuffy vibe than a straight hem! This looks far more fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127918 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 12:44:04 +0000 Brooklyn 2127918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Liesbeth. I understand. I used to have a thing against high-low hemlines in skirts and dresses. Serious poison eye. I don’t now. I think I got used to them via the high-low tops that were so ubiquitous about 5-8 (?) years ago. It definitely helps to adjust to a look when it becomes the norm.</p> <p>ST, thanks. I love asymmetric tops too! Great with skinnies.</p> <p>Zaeobi, thanks. It’s an usual colour. I initially thought it was a mustard but it’s much more brown than yellow. Maybe dark mustard. I hope you try out an asymmetric top. I think asymmetric hems are universally flattering. In tops they break up the thigh visual and add a bit of an avant-garde element.</p> <p>And thanks Lisa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127917 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 12:37:04 +0000 delurked 2127917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it. I am an asymmetrical skirt fan, but don’t currently have one. I have loved them for years. Your color palette here is nice, and I’m not usually drawn to the warm tones. Maybe a skirt like that will present itself to me before long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127913 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 11:50:26 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2127913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That brown - gold sweater is an amazing color on you. Not to mention the excellent fit and drape of the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127911 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 11:48:24 +0000 Zaeobi 2127911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'm on Team 'Those are Absolutely Gorgeous Colours on You!' I'm not sure what you would call the colour of your top - is it cognac or tobacco? Cinnamon? </p> <p>I have one slightly asymmetrical skirt that I recently asked the forum about (it's a teal satin skirt, that skims just past knee-length). The general consensus was that it's flattering, but I just can't seem to shake the feeling that it makes me look much shorter than I (already) am. Maybe asymmetrical tops/ tunics are the way to go instead? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127902 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 11:22:11 +0000 Anonymous 2127902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd happily wear that whole outfit! I don't own any asymmetric skirts- but I really should!<br /> I do have several asymmetric tunics and a cardi though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127900 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 10:45:19 +0000 Liesbeth 2127900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great. I have a bit of a funny, completely unfounded thing AGAINST a-symmetry. At least in cuts (pattern, not so much). Getting used to it though, seeing so many great asymmetrical skirts on you and Angie for example. But I don't own any myself yet :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127888 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 08:24:43 +0000 Brooklyn 2127888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And thanks Star! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127887 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 08:23:38 +0000 Brooklyn 2127887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lyn. Not actually duplicated. But I seem to have acquired a series of a asymmetric hemline skirts (not to mention dresses). I love the look. I wear them all the time. It’s not a problem. Well .... maybe it’s a bit of an addiction :)</p> <p>Thanks MJ. Of course it would suit you!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127886 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 08:23:37 +0000 Star (Lise) 2127886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great outfit!&nbsp; So stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127880 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 07:58:10 +0000 lyn67 2127880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you mean you have duplicated?&nbsp;<br />Wow, am set for summer but love the rich colors, and the asymmetric hemline!!

You wear asymmetric skirt the best way. I don't have any and I'm not sure how it would work for me probably not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127873 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 04:48:02 +0000 Brooklyn 2127873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sally! I have a couple of knee length pencil skirts and a couple of knee length A-line skirts that I’m not reaching for much either. I think it’s partly because they feel a little more like office wear to me. The longer skirts feel more ... festive? More relaxed anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-the-new-skirt-same-as-the-old-skirt#post-2127872 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 04:41:38 +0000 Sal 2127872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh looking good Brooklyn!&nbsp; I do not have any - maybe something I can rectify though!!</p> <p>I am team long skirt too and my two dresses that are a bit shorter are not being worn as much. </p>
