What skirt best flatters your body type?
Last year it was short shorts—but this summer skirts are the hottest leg-baring garment to rock. A variety of styles and designs are in vogue this season---and we’re highlighting the best one for YOUR body type.
Pear-shaped
Give a mullet skirt a try. These make your waist look tiny and flatter your hips. Choose one in a sheer layered pastel, pair with a tank top and anchor the look with a substantial chunky leather high-heeled sandal.
Tall & Thin
Opt for a tiered skirt in a bold stripe pattern. This will create a more feminine, curvy shape by adding volume. Top with a simple fitted tee. Keep it casual with embellished flats.
Curvy
Go for a neon bodycon skirt that accentuates your curves and smoothes out your thighs. Add a loose-fitting, scoop neck top and neutral colored wedges.
Plus-sized
Invest in a pencil skirt in a bold color. This style is great because it skims over your thighs and hips, yet makes a big statement. On top, chose a TK shirt in a a contrasting color, and finish with a patterned peep toe.
Apple-shaped
Peplum skirts because the shorter skirt layer conceals a tummy and the way it flares out creates a waist. Pair with a black top and black strappy sandals.
Petite
You want a mini skirt with volume and a thick waistband. This will create a defined waist and you can carry off the volume because of your small size. Choose a printed one and pair it with a fitted, brightly colored top to strike the right balance. Finish with neutral sandals with gold details.
