Weekly Style Tip: Ladylike Vixen
Thumb through any style magazine at the supermarket and you’ll notice that ladies’ fashion is getting more, well, ladylike for fall and winter 2010. (And mums around the world rejoice!)
Women everywhere are doing what they should’ve done years ago: ditching their prefab distressed boyfriend jeans and slipping their gams into tights and high heels, pencil skirts, and printed dresses with skirts so full and flirty you could swear you’re seeing Betty Draper everywhere you look.
We’re all for this turn toward sophisticated femininity (don’t wobble in those heels, girls!), but the idea is to channel elements of ladylike fashion with classic silhouettes, long gloves, soft tweeds, and kitten heels. The danger is that – eek! – you could risk looking like you’re off to meet Aunt Irma for a bird watching excursion or a round of Canasta. So not sexy.
That’s why we absolutely love Eva Mendes’ sexy interpretation of the trend: her brocade dress is feminine and classic, but the plunging neckline and the asymmetrical skirt scream au courant, not “octogenarian.”
Will you be following this sexy ladylike trend this season?
