I've recently come across what's known as the Fingertip Rule. Basically this means that the hem of your skirt should be at least three inches below the tops of you fingertips as you stand straight with your hands by your side.
I'm finding this quite restrictive. So many skirts and dresses are short and I'm 5'9. I bought a skirt in Topshop yesterday (for a tenner!) and it's very borderline re the Rule. I'm thinking I'm too old and might be too self-conscious to wear it. My legs are ok but I'm really all leg in this skirt. I would definitely be wearing it with 200 denier tights so I'd be maintaining some modesty. I'm 42 if that makes a difference.
I know the S and B board laughs in the face of rules but is there something in it?
