| Well you have to go through the site as some are ok but yeah that one on the first page isn't nice at all. But there are some sexy ones if that is your cup of tea. I would think for this time of year just wear a fur coat and keep warm. |

| Having seen one, wouldn't you describe the look as a Coca-Cola bottle (on the right woman of course)? |

In a city of millions, I didn't see a single woman wearing something like that in Moscow! |

I like the look of some of them... however I have seen very few of these in Russia--maybe they were not the latest thing to have yet. As far as I know mini-skirts and tight velvet skirts are always the must-have item 
How about a fur-trimmed one? You'll look like one of those classy Coca-Cola poster ladies out of the 60s!  Maybe red skirt with white fur trim for the holiday mood... ok, scratch that!  |

well since the hobble skirt is not as popular as I heard and mini-skirts are, How can a tourist keep from being harassed in russia. I like mini skirts but I don't want to be mistaken for a woman of the night. |

| Most of the women wearing mini-skirts looked like they belonged on the runway of a fashion-show, not prowling the streets in Vegas. And I saw a lot more women wearing jeans than mini-skirts. The one thing you must wear though, are high-heels (but maybe not in winter!) |

| As was recommended to me by members of this forum prior to my trip, dress for comfort, not to be fashionable. Don't get me wrong, you don't have to look like a slob, but if you plan on doing lots of walking and sight-seeing, wear a pair of jeans and comfy shoes (I wore my skechers, which seemed to fit in well). I brought my heels so as to have the jeans with heels look, but after I arrived I realized it just wan't practical. Unless you plan on going clubbing a lot and to fancy places, one or two nice outfits should be fine (Russians don't think anything of wearing the same outfit a few times, especially if it's in vogue). |
