More relaxed than the pencil and more polished than the mini, according to the Spring 2013 runways and the likes of Victoria Beckham, Michael Kors and Dolce & Gabbana, this season it’s all about the A-line. And what’s not to love, with its 60s attitude and universally flattering shape, this prim separate will give both your day and evening wardrobe a refreshing turnaround. And while this clean silhouette almost never errs on the polished side, it can and will venture into frumpy-land if not styled properly. So think fitted tops, classic belts and ladylike heels for a combination that is irresistibly fresh.
