   There comes a moment in every woman's life when it's more prudent 1 - not to mention far more elegant - to conceal 2, rather than to reveal.


  每个女人一辈子总会有那么个时候会觉得“包住”会比“露出来”更稳重,更别提有多优雅了。
  So I know I won't be the only woman on the wrong side of 40 to welcome the latest sea change in the fashion world.
  所以我知道我并不是在年逾40岁的女人中唯一一个对时尚界这种最新变化持欢迎态度的人。
  Gone are the low-cut tops and the acres of flesh of recent years. Now what we have instead are ankle-skimming dresses (preferably with long or three-quarter-length sleeves), midi skirts, Downton Abbey-esque high-neck blouses and a general air of demureness 3.
  那些年低胸上衣和露肉的时代已经远去。现在我们有的是齐脚踝长裙(最好带有长袖或是七分袖)、 中长裙和唐顿庄园式的高领女士衬衫,端庄优雅,大气十足。
  穿衣露肉已经out啦!含蓄穿搭更显性感!
  It's a look that has even been paraded on the red carpet by the likes of Oscar nominee 4 Alicia Vikander, and fellow actresses Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley, in conservatively-cut gowns which, at most, show a glimpse of shoulder.
  这种着装在红毯上早已司空见惯,像获奥斯卡提名的艾莉西亚·薇坎德和女星凯瑞·穆里根、凯拉·奈特莉,她们都穿着剪裁较为保守的礼服长裙,最多只露了小臂。
  The ultimate 'new modesty 5' mascot 6, though, has to be the Duchess of Cambridge, insists celebrity 7 stylist Alex Longmore, who has dressed the likes of Jodie Kidd, Jerry Hall and Claudia Schiffer.
  然而,终极“新型端庄优雅”风非剑桥夫人(凯特王妃)莫属。为朱迪·基德、杰瑞·豪尔和克劳迪娅·希弗等明星设计服装的著名设计师亚历克斯·朗莫如是称。
  'You only have to look at Kate Middleton in her long black lace Alice Temperley gown to realise that she oozes 8 sex appeal in the most subtle of ways,' says Longmore. 'Celebrities 9 used to dress revealingly to get noticed - now it's about dressing 10 without the flesh factor.'
  朗莫说:“你只要看看凯特·米德尔顿穿着她那条爱丽丝·坦波丽礼服长裙就能明白,她用很含蓄的方式展现出自己性感的一面。”“那些经常着装暴露的明星要注意了,现在不露肉的着装风尚正流行。”
  Independent fashion and retail 11 analyst 12 Sandra Halliday, editor of trendwalk.net, has noticed a similar style shift in the High Street, too.
  trendwalk.net网站编辑、独立时尚和零售品牌分析师桑德拉·哈利迪也已经注意到大众这类潮流风尚的转变。
  As a result, 'modest wear', as it's been dubbed 13, is one of the fastest-growing fashion sectors 14.
  结果,“端庄着装”风被称为是流行速度最快的潮流之一了。
