I appreciate the tailored look of a long skirt, especially ones with a trouser waist and zipper because they look a little more dressy than all-the-way-round elastic-waist skirts. This sort of skirt is so long, you need a slit in the front or back, or possibly a bit of A-line shape, so that you can walk. (I have suffered too many years in tight clothes to wear anything too restrictive.) And finally, I like these skirts for the way they keep my legs covered more than minis or knee-length skirts—it seems more fall-appropriate as well as more sophisticated.
