Pajamas and Pantsuits
Designers have given birth this season to fashion pajamas and pantsuits in wild, bold prints and abstract patterns. These fashion statements are not for the faint of heart. If you desire to be noticed these head to toe ensembles will turn heads. If you prefer not to stand out in a crowd they are not for you. The pants alone with a solid color top may work for some. You can combine a patterned jacket with a solid color bottom (skirt or pants).

The last couple of seasons designers have been adding longer length hemlines to some of their new styles. Dresses and skirts are creeping back in popularity with hemlines anywhere from the knees to the ankles. These longer length, retro-inspired, hemlines are the hottest trend in women's fashion this season. -
