IT'S OFFICIAL: SKIN NO LONGER IN

Fashion gurus have declared it's time to cover up:
The nearly naked looks once favored by pop stars like Christina Aguilera and television shows like "Sex and the City" are giving way to more demure styles that feature far less skin, fashion executives say.
From the runways of Europe to the malls of America, shirts and skirts are getting longer and the waistband on jeans, which had been going south in a hurry, has begun to rise, these people said.

"People are tired of seeing so much skin," said Greg Scott, chief executive of Bebe, a 195-unit chain that is known for selling slinky tank tops and short skirts....

"That whole midriff-baring thing is completely over," Scott said.

Let's hope everyone gets the memo on that.
