What is it:
A straight-hem skirt was rarely seen on the SS24 runways. The designers deviated from the classic silhouette of the skirt and instead opted for high leg slits, layering or flowing trains that give the look a more dynamic shape. The style’s comeback can be attributed to the growing interest in ’70s fashion, which was characterized by asymmetrical silhouettes.
Why you should order it:
The skirt itself is a standard model for women’s wardrobe and is also becoming increasingly popular in men’s fashion. The asymmetrical silhouette offers customers variety and creates a slightly different and more daring look. Modern takes on the Y2K style were seen on the runways, with practical details like adjustable straps and patchwork layering, giving the look more depth, making it appealing to a wide audience.
Where we saw him:
Asymmetrical skirts were seen in many variations in the SS24 collections. Most often, designers resorted to tentacle-like leg slits that gave the style a new, fluid depth, as seen on Emilia Wickstead and Supriya Lele. The classic side slit appeared at Michael Kors and Ulla Johnson, while Knwls created a Y2K look with a flowing train. Burberry and Sacai created asymmetry through the use of patchwork techniques and layering coupled with floral prints.
How to style it:
During the day, the asymmetrical skirt can be paired with a simple t-shirt and sneakers for a casual look for daily errands. For evening wear, you can play with the skirt: a seductive shirt or tank top with a contrasting print, together with strappy sandals or high boots, can enhance the look and emphasize the asymmetrical shape of the skirt.
Asymmetrical skirts are a must-have for the SS24 season – perfect for the beach, the evening or a trip to the supermarket, it offers customers an exciting alternative to the classic silhouettes that have dominated the collections in recent years. New interpretations have updated the look without sacrificing the currently popular Y2K style.
