Girly-style dressing is a big deal for spring - but if getting dressed up for wintery sports is your thing, the season's cutest trend is going to be right up your rink.

Ice skater-inspired dresses were all over the spring/summer catwalks, with flirty fit'n'flare silhouettes popping up in an array of collections. (1)

Fresh, feminine and undeniably girly, if your legs are your finest asset (2) this is the most adorable way to show off coltish pins as spring kicks in.

But while early Hollywood trendsetters have been rocking the look since autumn, and the shorter skater silhouettes made the biggest Ice Capades-style impact during party season, the infinitely more wearable knee-length fit'n'flare version is inching its way in as the firm new season fave.

With a fitted waist and full circle skirt, this shape conceals chunky thighs brilliantly whilst creating curves for boyish frames (3) - just ditch the ice boots in favour of ladylike T-bars or dinky ballet flats, and finish with a cute clutch for ice-cool perfection.

Footnotes

1 Carven and Valentino showed off the sweetest fit’n’flare minidresses of the season – the shorter and pouffier the skirt, the better.

2 Hollywood’s most perfectly pinned are loving this look – Alexa Chung, Kristen Bell, and
Tinsley Mortimer are all skater girls this spring.

3 Look for jersey and silk for the best in flirty-skirty style.
