I feel the fashion trend is moving away from the T&A showcase we saw in the early to mid ‘00s (thank you, Britney Spears) and becoming a bit more, dare I say, prudish? Everyone from Louis Vuitton to H&M are selling pretty young things collared blouses, reminiscent of a more puritan time. “Midis” or mid-calf length skirts began taking over the ever changing hemline trend about a year or so ago. Covering up seems to be bragging a lot more than showing off these days. It shows restraint. Imagination. Coyness. Adele is riding this trend as best as any celebrity I see with her full figure on display in long sleeve, high-necked gowns. Case in point, she picked up her six Grammy awards recently while wearing not a costume that shoots fire out of her boobs (and thank you, Katy Perry) but of an understated black gown by Armani Prive. As a somewhat conservative Southern gal who’s never been one to show much skin I welcome the trend to dress a little more modestly, why there’s nothing wrong with leaving something to the imagination…
