Style - Get the Look

They certainly don't share much in common as far as looks go, but Ashley Greene and January Jones are two budding stars who have been making every best-dressed list as of late. Most recently they set our sartorial hearts aflame with red hot lipstick and two fabulous frocks by Valentino. Jones wore white and Greene wore red; both actresses looked phenomenal. I think what I appreciate most about these two different — but seriously striking — dresses is the fact that the simple, clean cut shapes are highlighted by an asymmetric hem.

While the look isn't for all, asymmetrical hemlines are easy to style and add instant depth and drama to dresses and skirts. Take this petal wool-crepe skirt by Preen. The tulip-shaped overlay adds depth to an asymmetric hem, and the back of the skirt has the added interest of a flap pocket. Perfect for your work wardrobe when you pair it with an equally structured jacket and soft shirt, this Preen skirt could easily transition to night by removing the jacket and adding some strappy sandals or platform pumps.
