Of all the items in a woman’s wardrobe, a skirt is the most feminine and versatile piece you can turn to any occasion or event. Women’s skirts can be simple, cute, sophisticated, ethnic, subtle, sexy, or show-stopping. The skirt is so versatile that you have one for every occasion – weddings, farewells, festivities, college reunions, vacations, and even casual skirts.
The availability of so many patterns and styles can sometimes leave you wondering with the tough question – How to select and style skirts?
A skirt is a tube-shaped garment that hands down the waist and can reach up to your knee, ankle, or floor-length. Contemporary skirts come in a variety of cuts and lengths like midi skirts, long skirts, and ankle-length skirts.
In this blog, we will look at some tips to style your skirts. Let’s begin:
How to style your classic skirts?
Skirts have come a long way to become a must-have item in every women’s wardrobe in the form of – midis, maxis, minis, tulips, pencil, wraps, jersey knit, tulle, silks, etc.
Different skirts need to be styled differently. Let’s see how.
Maxi Skirts
Bold patterns and hues define maxi skirts. They are not only for the boho-chic lovers but for professional fashionistas as well. The skirt has a cinched waistline and extends up to the ankle. It looks fantastic on petite silhouettes and those who have a pear-shaped body. When wearing printed maxi skirts go for plain or peplum tops. Fitted tee also works well. Try wearing the skirt with a wedge heel for extra length.
Midi Skirts
The midi skirt extends up to the mid-shin or calf and is a little trickier to style. Women with shorter legs should avoid wearing midis unless you have a petite figure. High-waisted midi skirts create the perfect illusion of height and elongate the lower body.
Pencil Skirts
The pencil skirt is the go-to clothing essential for a businesswoman. The classic shape of a pencil skirt – fitted at the waist and tapered along the leg up to the knee, looks super classy and elegant. You can style the pencil skirts with bright colors and pair them with a shiny top and neutral pair of nude shoes.
A-Line skirts
The A-line skirt has a universal appeal as it is fitted at the waist and then bells down to extend up to the knee or ankle length. It is fitted from the thighs and hips and only showcases the waist. You can style your patterned A-line skirts with patterned tops. Tuck the top inside the skirt so the petite waistline is visible.
Flare skirts
The flare skirt is for the women who love twirling in skirts. It is all things feminine, fun, and similar in shape to the A-line skirts, except it has a larger flare. The voluminous skirt is ideal for petite-shaped women. Women with a heavy lower body should avoid wearing flared skirts.
Mini Skirts
If you like wearing short skirts, mini skirt is perfect for you. If the short hemline scares you, you can style it with low-heeled booties and a moto jacket. The mini skirt is certainly a style statement and hence is perfect for your vacations.
You can style your long skirts with black tops. Crop tops look amazing with maxi skirts. Amp up the look with statement earrings and necklaces!
