Being interested in new perspectives looks good on anyoneSkirts are getting shorter. Ive been thinking about this for a while, but I didnt want to bring it up until I was sure. At fashion week, the skirts I see on catwalks have been getting shorter for ages, but its only in the past year that Ive really noticed skirts in the wild, the ones that live on pavements and in offices and on trains, following suit. Fashion week is a bubble that doesnt mean all that much on its own. Lovely clothes on a catwalk are not actually fashion.

But those immediate post-pandemic years were a funny old time in fashion, where we all talked a good game about being desperate to dress up again but pretty much carried on wearing nap dresses and lazy-girl drawstring-closure stuff.
