"In the spirit of which, I would like to run you through a few hemline rules. I love a fashion rule anything that helps pull an outfit together is fine by me. But if you don't, then think of them as prompts to guide you by walking you through the best combinations of print, fabric and length. They don't curtail what you can wear. In fact, they might expand it."
"First: if you are wearing a miniskirt or dress, the fabric, colour and print can be very simple, because the look is punchy anyway. Second: with a knee-length hem, you need to add some pizzazz via fabric, colour or print otherwise it looks a bit work-ish and boring. Third: a midi-length skirt needs some cool factor in the fabric, colour or print, because otherwise it looks a bit drippy."
Hemline length determines the appropriate fabric, colour, and print to achieve balanced looks. Miniskirts and short dresses suit simple fabrics and colours because the short hem supplies the visual punch. Knee-length hems benefit from vibrant fabrics, colours or prints to avoid appearing work-like or boring. Midi-length skirts require interesting textures or prints to prevent a droopy appearance. Maxi hems provide space for dramatic or large-scale prints and allow patterns to breathe. Using these hemline-to-fabric guidelines offers practical formulas to expand outfit options and wear any skirt or dress length with confidence.
