FASHION HEADLINE analyzes the trends for Spring/Summer 2014 using 10 keywords. In the eighth installment, we look at layered styles of shorts and skirts. This unexpected combination is fresh.

The first look at Dior features a unique garment that combines pants and a skirt. The top is a bar jacket with a slit at the waist, creating an avant-garde image.

CARVEN, with a 90s theme, wears a dress underneath with shorts made of the same material. The contrast between the sexy dress, with its daringly exposed décolleté and shoulders, and the sporty pants is somehow nostalgic. The key to achieving a good balance is a one-tone look.

Knee-length wide-leg pants appear as a key item at Viktor & Rolf. A couture-style dress inspired by a school uniform is paired with pants and loafer-style mules, creating a fresh style that evokes the free and rebellious spirit of young people.

Sacai, the flagship brand of mixed coordination, also accentuates the look by pairing mesh shorts under a striped skirt.
