Fishtail skirts.

This spring's answer to last year's maxi-hemlines: a skirt that goes by many names; fishtail, high-low, mullet (although, I'm going to pretend the last one is a joke) and is just as diverse as it's many aliases.


We know that this is an absolute must-have for spring, as well as a great transition piece for the last chilly weeks of winter, and SWISH has it in black, to keep it as wearable and versatile.


Because it's a bit of a between length skirt, it's flattering on literally everyone, and allows you to show a little leg without feeling like you're exposed. You can wear it higher on the waist, or lower on the hip, and it works with long sleeves as well as short. 

Take it boho with a gauzy tunic and a long necklace as seen here:


Or, dress it up with a structured jacket and some fabulous sandals like Kristen Cavallari! Who says you can't be chic at the grocery store? 


You can always add a flash of sparkle with a cocktail ring and take this look to evening. 

The best part about this piece is that it looks just as good when you throw on a t-shirt or tank top with it. 


Or, pop a comfy sweater or jacket over top, add some tights to keep your stems warm, and you're ready to brave the February chill:


Killer stilettos not required. The asymmetrical hemlines make your legs look miles long whether you decide to wear some cute sandals, great ballet flats, or some pretty pumps. It looks especially great with boots:



And you can wear it at different angles and it looks like a completely different skirt!


Perfect for those breezy spring days! Add a pretty scarf and a turtleneck and you'll stay warm through the sudden gusts.
