Now the miniskirt is back, is it time I started wearing tights again? | Fashion
Black tights are fashion Marmite. If you love them, you look forward to the first brisk September or October day when it is acceptable to stop pretending that “late summer” exists on these shores and layer a thick pair of tights under your dress. You have strong views on optimum denier count and can debate the relative merits of Falke and Wolford at length. You could happily give a Ted talk on the whether the Edie Sedgwick modern jazz vibe of a matte pair is more chic than the lustre of a velvet or satin finish. The other camp

A judge ruled that a charter school’s ban on girls wearing pants was unconstitutional. The school is pushing back
Shivering during outdoor lunches. Barred from sitting cross-legged on the floor like the boys. Restricted from playing soccer or doing cartwheels during recess. This is how three girls described the daily discomforts they experienced as a result of their school’s dress code, in statements to a federal court. The judge ruled in their favor, in a court decision that was supposed to usher in a new day for girls attending Charter Day School in North Carolina. In March 2019, U.S. District Judge Malcolm Howard found that the school’s dress code, which banned its female students from wearing shorts or pants,

Golden Girls: Dress inspiration from royals wearing metallic party dresses
Royalty will forever be associated with gold: that just comes with the territory when you wear a crown. Yet it’s rare today for the Royal Family to really dazzle in head-to-toe metallic tones, often choosing subtler shades. However, if the occasion demands it – be it an A-list red carpet premiere or a glittering international banquet – then the world’s princesses know how to pull out all the stops in maximum sparkle. Case in point, the recent appearance of Charlotte Casiraghi, the daughter of Princess Caroline of Monaco, who dazzled in quilted gold Chanel for the principality’s National Day last

Save Us. The Trend of Wearing Skirts Over Pants Is Back.
In today’s installment of “Dear God, why??? Haven’t we been through enough this year?” I regret to inform you: The mid-aughts trend of wearing skirts over pants, for no discernible reason other than “style,” is back. OK, it’s not really that bad. Sure, the idea may recall images of Ashley Tisdale’s much-memed 2007 red carpet looks. But the new iteration is much sleeker; the trousers are tailored, the skirts more form-fitting. Believe it or not, the combination isn’t all that bad. Models for Proenza Schouler’s recent runway, which took place on Little Island, layered vivid orange sheaths over black

Des Plaines repeals rule against wearing opposite-sex clothes
A decades-old ban on wearing clothing designed for the opposite sex was repealed Monday in Des Plaines. It’s the third time a municipality in the Northwest suburbs has taken such action this summer. The Des Plaines City Council’s action concerned a regulation in place since 1963 under an ordinance governing “obscene and immoral acts.” The regulation made it illegal for anyone to “appear in any such place in a dress not belonging to his sex.” To do so was to commit indecent exposure, the ordinance stated. Des Plaines police have no record of ever charging someone with violating the restriction,
