A stunning editorial packed with beautiful clothes — I haven’t written those words in a while. This story, from W Volume 5 2022, is all about long hemlines and flawless tailoring — it’s a knockout.

  • Glorious – just wonderful! Look #3 is going on my inspiration board. Love the elegant yet relaxed approach with the styling on all views. Also, late to the party here, I just wanted to say your gallery outfit from yesterday’s post was wonderful – you looked great and I love how you styled it, especially with the bag and jewelry – perfect balance!

  • I love all of these looks! And I can actually figure out how to assemble them myself!

  • Agreed, Preston! Every outfit is stunning. I’ve been leaning towards long lines mentally, but seeing these images confirms my instinct.

    Thanks for sharing! x S

  • The #3 photo looks like a modern take on the New Look. So lovely with that polished ease…

  • The third look is Dior

  • Long feels very modern right now. I have a couple of Dior midi length skirts (both pretty casual), as well as some less expensive ones by Tibi and Dries van Noten, and I have been wearing them on repeat with sneakers, flats, whatever. I haven’t worn a short skirt in a while.

  • Well that makes sense for look 3. I love all except the last and agree with Debbie that these are eminently doable. I have a couple of knit (Allude and Toteme) long dresses that I wore on repeat last winter and will again. Different silhouette than these but I can shop my closet for tailoring.

  • Thanks, Preston. I also intuitively put away my mini skirt for now and reach for midi skirts more. Well, we are firmly in recession now, according to the Hemline Index theory.

  • Not surprised to learn that third photograph is Dior. The cut of that jacket is everything. I added a classic black Bar Jacket to my closet last winter. It is pure joy to wear. These longer lengths are luxurious – as a reader commented earlier, the volume adds motion – not to mention some sophisticated drama. I’m in!

  • AND the white gloves ~ weren’t we just talking about gloves recently, too? 🙂
