Different skirts for different shapes

May 17, 2016

Skirts are one of the sexiest, charming and comfortable garments a woman can wear (given you don’t wear them on a windy day). There are dozens of different skirt shapes, so it is key to find the one that best suits your body. 

Here is a look at the top 3 most popular skirt styles and which style would suit your body shape best.

  1. A-Line Skirts

A-Line skirts have a certain, 50’s charm that is irresistible. They are fitted at the waist and flare out towards the hem.

Being broader at the hem and narrow at the top gives the skirt it’s name because it looks like the letter A.

It is usually knee length and great for women with wider thighs, who would like to accentuate their narrow waist.

  1. Pencil Skirts

Pencil skirts are extremely popular and that’s probably because they look great on almost anyone. 

Just as the name states, a pencil skirt is tight fitting; essentially making your body look slim like a pencil. They go from your waist usually down to just below the knee.

They are great for shaping your body and making your body look lean and slim. Pair them with a crop top this summer and you are right on trend!

  1. Mini Skirts

Everyone loves the mini. Since the 80’s, a mini skirt has always been a sexy, flirty garment that can elevate any outfit. But be careful – make sure your mini skirt is not too mini. There is nothing less flattering than a short-short mini. 

Mini skirts’ hem is above the knee. They are especially flattering to shorter women, because it makes your legs look longer. A mini is best worn in a neutral colour. 

Also, it would be best to refrain from wearing a mini when you’re over the age of 50…
