But now those women Are really into Short skirts. By Short i mean just above the knee. Soil the longer length is not for the younger woman it is certainly not for the woman who never got into them. And the ones who did Wear Long Skirls Are not into that while there Are several designers As important and different As Ralph Lauren and Ronaldus Sham ask showing Many lengths the consensus if that counts is certainly for the Shorter length. And for Slimmer pants. Six months irom now Well to judging Hose two elements to see if they continue past a season.
