Covered by a tunic, like at Michael Kors, the bike short seems almost harmless. But there is a good reason this trend went away: the bike short looks bad on most women because it fits tightly arount the thighs were most of us have some jiggle.
In general, skirts got longer this season, which is a good thing. But skirts that are long and full in all the wrong spots (like at Lacoste) are not such a good thing. The drindl skirt features a gathered waistband which adds loads of bulk to a body area most women don't need any more heft.
Sheer fabric is nothing new, but this spring ethereal looks gave way to downright see-through fabrics. Although some of the sheerness can be layered away ( especially in the blouse area where a cami does the trick) other see-through spots were in the legs of pants and skirts.
The runways at Fashion Week were full of jumpsuits, but the trickier trend here was a distinct overall. Although Proenza Schouler gave their overalls a futurist bent, other designers sent overalls down the runway in traditional denim.
A tricky color between green and yellow is called Chartreuse and it has to be one of the most difficult colors to wear for most women. Although designers like Lela Rose partnered red with chartreuse (eek!) it does mix well with navy and purple.
Fashion Week designers showed them in everything from super-sheer chiffon to knit: harem pants (identified by a full leg and banded bottom) were a big trend. But can your figure handle the fullness? Harem pants are not easy to wear because they put volume right where most woman do not need any extra fluff.
