With all of the over-the-knee boots and strong shoulders that went into Fall 2009, skirts had to find their own way to stand out. Many designers opted for full short skirts to balance out proportions while others stuck with classic body-skimming minis and pencil skirts. From the many examples of full short skirts, some were structured, like those at D&G, and some were less aggressive, like those at Oscar de la Renta. Regardless, women should have no trouble finding this silhouette come Fall.
