Thigh high splits - one of the New York Fashion Week Fall 2011 trends

The designers decided to show a lot of leg this year with tight high splits on the dresses and skirts. The slit is a detail that always lends major sexy, but is it appropriate for the winter? Prepare for freezing cold this winter, because the high splits have been putting pins on display all over New York Fashion Week's Fall/Winter runways.

This emerging trend can be noticed everywhere, from the Brit Awards to the Grammys. Embracing this leg flashing trend on their catwalks were designers Diane von Furstenberg, Jason Wu, Michael Kors and Cynthia Rowley.
