"Hemlines hit the fl oor" (Vogue) for F/W 22-23 in everything from evening gowns to full
body catsuits and jackets with fl owing bridal-like trains.  ese fl oor-sweeping silhouettes
(WhoWhatWear), both dramatic and fun were seen at Saint Laurent, Ludovic de Saint
Sernin, Givenchy, and more. And "Rokh made a case for the ground-grazing duster jacket"
(WWD).  ese looks call for dramatic drop and chandelier earrings or armfuls of bangles
(see section above).
Dubbed the Long Way by Harper's Bazaar, the new "LBD" is for the long black dress. Style
them with plunging pearl strands, stiletto or lengthy drop earrings, and consider contrasting
the all-black looks with a bright spot of color with Sardinian Coral.
Also en vogue for the coming months are over-the-knee boots worn with miniskirts, lingerie
inspired looks beneath bulky outerwear like bomber jackets, new expressions of Art Deco and
Flapper style fringe in both skirts and dresses, lots of leather, and despite the various pops of
bright color, the ubiquitous allure of black.  e classic white tank top also returns in several
collections this season – dress it up with Coco Chanel's "ropes and ropes of pearls" to add a
touch of class. Whatever looks you embrace for the colder months ahead, remember to keep
the accessories bold and playful, large and luxurious, sophisticated and singular. Stay warm
and have fun!
