What to wear this summer: Ra-Ra skirts

14 June 2008 No Comment

What a wonderful summer you can have with layers of soft tiered ruffles on your skirt! These above-the-knee skirts are called Ra-Ra, because they were derived from the skirts cheerleaders wore, and we know the fashionistas of 80s, certainly loved them to pieces. There are some pretty ra-ra skirts and dresses at Luella, See by Chloe, Zac Posen and Givenchy S/S ’08 runways.

So, you too can embrace this Eighties vibe with ra-ra skirts which come in silk, cotton, jersey, and chiffon this season, in all patterns, prints and colors.

While exotic prints and bold patterns give you a look of bohemian chic, floral skirts from sheer chiffon, emblazoned with butterflies and electric brights, create a flirty mood.

A fairy tale clothing of ruffled bottoms – ra-ra skirts are perfect for summer, especially for lounging at the beach and weekend barbecues.
