A-Line: what it is and how to wear it
Memories of Christian Dior
The A-line silhouette, which emphasizes the waist, has firmly established itself in wardrobes since the spring season. While some brands offer flared skirt designs, Marni has taken it a step further by suggesting dresses with triangular-shaped hemlines.
The resurgence of the A-line silhouette is owed to the revival of Christian Dior’s iconic new look, featuring a voluminous bottom and a fitted top.

For early fall, opt for a skirt made from lightweight fabric. This could be a pleated model, a classic one-piece cut, or a voluminous "balloon" skirt. The key is to pay attention to length: it should be midi or maxi.

To maintain proportions, it's best to choose a straight or fitted top. For example, vests, polo shirts, fitted tops, or non-oversized shirts. You can also play with contrasts and opt for grunge-style T-shirts or denim jackets.
Footwear for this look can range from kitten-heel slingbacks, ballet flats, sneakers, or loafers—depending on the mood and the occasion.
