Long over short is a new summer silhouette for me. Somehow it never occurred to me before, but this is a great way to show off a little leg but not too much. Also it masks the sides and back of the thigh, which tend to be problem areas for many ladies. (Ok, maybe just for me...hello cellulite and stretch marks).

The long layer can be a long vest, kimono, cardigan, duster coat, or even an unzipped/unbuttoned shirt dress. Short layer can be shorts, skirt, or a dress that is just a bit too short to be worn on its own.

What say you, forum members? Have you been doing this genius combo all along?
