Fashion's True Leading Economic Indicator

Much has been made of skirt lengths as an economic indicator. This theory has been debunked many times. At the moment, both short flared skater skirts and knee-length sheath skirts, not to mention long hippie skirts, are in style. Fashion’s real economic indicator is nail polish.
Yep, nail polish. Indeed, it can be considered a leading economic indicator, with skirt lengths a lagging indicator. The darker the polish, the worse the economy. Why haven’t men figured this out? They don’t pay attention to nail polish unless they don’t like what their girlfriends are wearing.
