ur guys have been rocking the 90’s vintage street
look all over Nairobi. Have our ladies been left behind? Oh, hell, no, the
skater cut design; popular in the 80’s is what they are currently digging.
Dresses and skirts in this style are short and
flared- they kinda remind me of the sexy ladies on Mexican soaps. Although it
comes across as a young street look; it comes in a variety of fabrics which
make it wearable and you can pull the look and rock it.
·
For an official wear, team up
skater-skirt with a button-down blouse and tights. Cropped tops, t-shirts and
pullovers work perfectly well.
·
A pair of killer heels will work
perfectly for a night out and give your legs extra length. Pair it up with
ankle boots or brogues to dress it down for a day look.
·
Skater skirt or dress length is usually
mid- thigh, hence tights and leggings come to the rescue of those who are not
comfortable showing too much skin. Opt for neutral-coloured tights for a
conservative look or go edgy with colored ones. Knee-length tights or socks
give you a school girl look. If you are bold enough, go without leggings, but
make sure your legs are well toned.
·
As with all other trends, this style is
not for everyone. It favors tall frames, but if you are petite, you can still
pull it off if you add some height with a pair of killer heels.
