In the fifties, Chanel brought in the boxy classic suit jackets with a slim skirt in braid trimmed and tweed. The silhouette was straight down and veered away from a nipped in waist. If you look at the pictures above, the 50′s emphizised on the waist, with the skirt just ending at the knees. Today, suits either made by Chanel or which ever designer include a jacket, a skirt (higher in length) and or pants. I’m kind of liking the mid-calves skirt, it brings sophistication! – I will be on the look out for that style on the runway and in stores! Both 2008 & 50′s are similar in style — I like how fashion incorporates the new with the old.
