Fashion is known to be a vicious cycle; what goes around, comes around. Yet, one piece of clothing that continues to enjoy the attention of fashionistas is the skirt. While styles have altered, skirts have always been an integral part of the female wardrobe. Often considered hassle-free, this comfortable element of clothing is perfect for Mumbai's rainy days at work, night-outs or formal dos.

Style diva loves her skirts
While short length is preferred in the monsoon, you can also go against the trend like Kareena Kapoor and opt for flow-ey long skirts. Rain or no rain, who cares?

After the trend of maxi skirts and then, mini skirts, which still remain in style, the newly-introduced midi skirt, as of this summer, is a very feminine, chic length to wear.
These could be fitted for a sexier look; leather is great for fall or if structured in heavy silk; even a straight fit with a sexy short lining underneath will work. For a casual day look, flow-ey skirts work when teamed with a cute lace or printed cropped top.
