I see a good amount of long skirts around here and own a few myself, plus some lighter material maxi dresses for the summer.
My long skirts are useful for the "bridge" seasons -- spring and fall -- where the mornings and evenings tend to be cooler with warmer daytimes. I can easily layer them with a tank/blouse and jean jacket, and they work with sandals or boots. I wear my maxi dresses from late spring to early fall, and they're perfect for weekends where I can just toss them on with some sandals and head out the door.
men will always appreciate short skirts where we see beautiful curves and skin. it's the jealous women and/or religious zealots who feel otherwise. often times, i'd wish they could visit talibanistan and see how quickly they change their minds.
Having recently been in a Starbucks in a college town, it seems more girls are wearing these long skirts. Is there an movement of modesty behind it? I'm inclined to say no, it does seem that bare midriffs often go with the package.
Are they in now? Why? Could this be the end of the shorts and sandals look?
I couldn't care less about what's fashionable when I'm at home. I liked tie-dyed long skirts in the 70's and I still like and wear them today. My personality hasn't changed much since then - well, I guess I've mellowed a little - so why should my wardrobe?
I always wear long gowns when performing on stage, but since they won't do for TV appearances, I like the classic look - smart blazer and nice blouse, with, of course, a long skirt.
The maxi length skirts have been in style for a while, and I don't think it is due to modesty but it does help those of us who like to be modest.
I have found the people who have a dislike for longer skirts and dresses (or skirts and dresses in general), tend to be the same ones who dislike seeing the differences between the sexes. Some people are from places where you can't really tell the difference between men and women.

- so why should my wardrobe?
