A NEW YORKER has been left red-faced by the city's unpredictable climatic conditions.

Her DKNY skirt was swept up in a gust of wind leaving her cringing with embarrassment.

Her awkward response to the unfortunate fashion faux pas was a jaunty: "Aye aye captain."

This expression was no accident, however.

Chloe's (@chloeevandermark) wardrobe item took on another look altogether when windy weather took hold.

“Walking against the wind in a long skirt is so embarrassing," she said in her post.

Striding into the wind along the streets of the Big Apple became a challenge for this fashion fan.

The blowy weather transformed her skirt into something drastically different, and it was not a look she wanted.

“It looks like I’m wearing pantaloons," she said in despair.

In times past, these bell-bottom-like trousers were worn by sailors on sailing ships, hence her exclamation of "aye aye captain."

Her post was liked over 216,000 times and attracted sniggering and sympathy in equal measure.

One person related to her experience: “Walking in a long skirt with bangs against the wind trying to look semi-presentable is an odyssey-esque quest.”

But this person thought it was an epic effort: “People with bangs and long skirts walking into the wind deserve more recognition.”

One fan was very clear about her feelings: “The wind rages me so bad sometimes I actually can’t handle it.”

But this viewer had a romantic take on it.

“I like it. It makes me feel like I’m a Renaissance painting where you can see the person’s body through the pretty fabric," they said.

Equally for this viewer: “I love walking in a long skirt in the wind. It makes me feel like I’m taking a Jane Eyre walk on the moors.”

And sailor's trousers were not so bad, said this person: “Okay, but pantaloons are such a vibe.”
