If you've been perusing the fashion mags, you've likely heard the term fluted hem. It's a new silhouette for fall, and since they come around rarely, it's important for fashionistas to take note. Think of it like a pencil skirt with a flounced hem; a (much) more pared down version of the classic Flamenco gown. It's an uber feminine shape that has the ability to take your girlish figure up a notch in sex appeal. It can be dressed up or dressed down and some of the season's most wearable trends can be combined with it. Sounds like a good deal, right? We think so. Check out some looks from three of this season's fluted hem-loving designers and see what we mean.
-
Printed Lady
Graphic prints of a computer-generated, magic eye variety are all the thing. Like Grease in the 70s, they are "The Word." This dress from Etro shows that a black flute hem is a sleek contrast for an eye-catching upper.

Leather Luxe
Looking for a new way to add leather (this season's hottest material) to your wardrobe mix? Want to go beyond the erstwhile jacket, leggings, boots fare? Add a flirty/edgy vibe with a leather fluted hem.

Belt It
Most of the time, a standout shape or color needs to be kept as simple as possible to keep it looking chic and sleek. In the fluted hem's case, a wide belt will emphasize, not detract, from its ability to create an hourglass shape.

Vertical Babe
Women with long, lean figures will rejoice in the fluted hem, as it adds shape and definition to your bottom. Women with a shorter physique will need to wear heels to keep their legs looking slender. Vertical piping will help give the illusion of height and length too.

-
Strapless Flute
Remember my talk of creating shape? This is one way to do it. The bare, lighter color of your shoulders contrasting with the stark simplicity of a dress like this say "hourglass" all the way. The eye will be drawn up, and then down, especially if you're moving.

Colorblocked
An allover berry color mixed with opaque tights, and you're on your way to colorblock perfection.

-
Sporty Spice
Sporty Olympic-inspired fever has taken the runways by storm. Gear for the slopes and scuba class has taken a whole new meaning as elements like neoprene and neon accents were sent down the catwalk. Mix ultra casual with ultra girly and you'll end up with something ultra modern.

Hot for Teacher
Ladylike dressing with an English sensibility has also been a favorite trend for autumn. Here it is, fluted style. Who said tweed had to be dowdy or stuffy? Not when it adds flounce to your bounce.

Layer for Layer
Ditch your leggings and skinny jeans as a main layering piece and rock a fluted hem skirt or dress instead. Put a simple turtleneck underneath and a sweater over top. Leave your boyfriend blazer at the cleaners.

Twice as Nice
