Getting cozy with ADAM.

The popularity of floor-length skirts on the Fall runways suggests that the hemline index theory just might hold true, but Adam Lippes isn't buying it. "Supposedly everything traces back to the economy these days, or Michelle Obama, but I think it's just a reaction to all the hard looks we've been seeing for the past two or three years," the ADAM designer told us. "It's a shift to an easier way of dressing." Lippes paired his billowy maxi dresses with chunky sweaters and slouchy boots, as did Richard Chai. Similarly, shoe-grazing slim knit skirts turned up at Michael Kors and Sonia Rykiel. And off the runway, meanwhile, photographers snapped girls toeing the line between winter and spring in long, bright numbers worn with cropped leather jackets.

Check out the slideshow, and let us know what lengths you'll be going to.
