Choosing The Right Skirt For Your Body Shape

This season there is a color and style for every body shape. It's one of the best seasons for choice that we've seen in a long time. There is a skirt style for every body shape. So what cuts for what body shapes - read on.

An athletic shape choose straight waisted skirts. Skirts that gather just below the waist will add fullness to your hips. A gently flared skirt will feminise your shape.
A petite shape choose skirts that are just below the knee or shorter in a simple style.
A full figure shape If you have full hips choose a smooth shape such as an A line skirt. Say away from gathers as they will make your hips look bigger. If you like the tiered look then find a skirt that fits well at the hip line, with layers that gradually flare out for fullness.
A heavy leg shapechoose a pyramid shape in a softer fabric such as silk. Choose a style that gradually builds out from the waist.

Basic Tips

A lined skirt will hold its shape better and last longer. It is also less likely to crease.
It's important to know what length skirt works for your body style and height.
Experiment - try on several styles and lengths to determine what length and style works best for you.
Experiment with color. We all know what colors we love or hate, but this season try some of the new colors available. You can still rely on your favorite color for one garment but spice it up a bit with new color choices for your shirt or pants.

This season skirts have something to offer everyone, from the shortest mini skirt to flowing layered floor length skirts. The fabrics range from light and flowy to fitted and stiffer. There isn't a color you can't find this season, and patterns range from soft prints, to chintz flowers, to bold ethnic prints. This is your season to look good and have a little fun making your fashion statement!
