Full Skirted: Maxi Skirts Center Stage

This last week, the New York Times did an almost full two page spread on the trend of the moment: maxi skirts. They covered every different trend from the flowing hippie skirt to the more daring fully sheer option and the different ways the trend has been featured. This past season we saw the skirt on every runway from Marc Jacobs to Charlotte Ronson and back to Fendi and Michael Kors.

As the feature points out, while these silhouettes may be on much more the demure side than some of the looks we've been used to (not a day goes by that some celebrity doesn't have a little mishap with a hoochy-coochy problem if you know what we mean....), that isn't to say that the trend is uptight or prudish by any means.

So here's the real question: with the trend's shooting to the stars popularity, you'd be hard pressed to find much of a selection in any stores...what gives?
