The wardrobe of a modern woman includes different clothes, but the skirt occupies a special position in it. Due to the variety of styles, lengths, colors, fabrics and finishes, every fashionista can choose the most successful models of skirts for any occasion.

Most popular styles

The most sought after styles of skirts.

Pencil

This skirt has been popular for many years and is most often used to create a business image. Its features are straight cut and slight narrowing at the bottom.

Pencil-length knee-length skirts are the most common, but there are both elongated models and shorter skirts. Many models have a small slit, and the decor of these skirts, as a rule, is not striking or absent.

Tulip

The skirt of this style is loved by fashionistas for the ability to add volume to the hips, and also to emphasize the waist. This skirt sits at the waist, and then smoothly bends around the hips and expands like an inverted tulip flower.

Models of this style with a little high waist are very popular, as they allow visually stretching the figure.

In the decoration of the tulip skirt, folds and pockets are often used.

Trapezium

Women value this skirt for comfort and the ability to improve the proportions of the figure, as it emphasizes the waist and visually lengthens the legs. Wide skirts or frills are often used to trim this type of skirt.

Year

The top of this skirt fits the hips, and the expansion in the lower part due to the set-in wedges gives it a graceful and feminine look. Sewn-in wedges can be either from the same material as the top of the skirt or from a fabric of a different shade or other texture.

The most common skirt-year slightly below the knees, as well as models in the floor. This style is often chosen to create elegant skirts.

Pleated skirts

The main feature of such models are small vertical folds. In the wardrobe of the fashionistas, the pleated skirt is represented by both short models and maxi skirts and products with medium length. The color range of pleated models can be pastel, and with a fairly bright colors.

The sun

Such a skirt is in demand due to its simple cut and attractive appearance.

To create it, they take a circle of fabric and cut a hole for the waist inside; therefore, in some skirts of this style there are no side seams. Sun skirts from airy materials are especially relevant, and their length can be both up to the knees and to the floor.

Bell

This simple style is loved by fashionistas for the opportunity to create a spectacular and elegant bow. A skirt of this type expands to its bottom, resembling a bell. Such a skirt usually wraps around the waist tightly, which emphasizes this part of the figure.

Since drapes and folds on the bell skirt are almost nonexistent, they are often decorated with prints and interesting patterns.

Flounce models

Such skirts like girls with their airiness and lightness. They allow you to make the lower part of the body more voluminous, and therefore are in demand by women with broad shoulders, and girls, whose figure resembles a rectangle.

Flounces on a skirt can be in the form of one row or multiple layers along the entire length of the product. Often they are direct, but there are models with asymmetrical flounces.

Length

Micro

The skirts of this length completely open the legs of the girl, leaving little room for men's fantasies. Choose this length should be very careful that the outfit does not look too provocative. These skirts are also called ultra-mini.

Mini

In such a skirt the legs of the girl are open, but not completely. The length of the mini is especially popular with beauties with long legs.

Knee length

This length is considered universal for girls and women of any stature and of any age. Such skirts are called the most feminine and are often chosen for a business dress code.

Ideally, the bottom of such a skirt should be at the level of the narrowest place in the knees.

Midi

Such a length is called dangerous, because if the skirt is chosen incorrectly, the model will fill its possessor.

Skirts to the middle of the legs should be avoided by girls with very full calves, and with moderate fullness (provided that the shoes have a heel) and with slender legs, a midi-skirt will be an excellent choice.

Long maxi skirts to the floor

These skirts are almost all girls. In their choice you need to be attentive only to very tiny beauties.

We select the perfect length of the skirt

  1. In choosing the length of the skirts, you should first of all take into account the peculiarities of your figure, in particular, the ratio of weight and height, as well as the distribution of weight in the body.
  2. It is equally important to decide which shoe will match the skirt, since shoes (like tights) affect the perception of body proportions.
  3. The next important point - a realistic assessment of the type of their legs. The girl needs to decide whether she is ready to open them and show to others. If the legs have any flaws (for example, full hips or a large distance between the hips), the skirt is chosen so long as to hide them.
  4. To determine the length of a mini-skirt, it is recommended to become straight and free to lower your arms to the sides - the bottom of the skirt should run along the line that ends your fingers.

If we turn to mathematical calculations, then to determine the optimal length of the skirt you need:

  • Multiply the height by 0.18 to calculate the length of the ultra-miniskirt.
  • Multiply the height by a number from 0.22 to 0.3 (an average of 0.26) to determine the optimal length of the mini-skirt.
  • Multiply height by 0.35 to calculate the length of the skirt to the knees. Young girls still need to subtract 3 cm, and older women are advised to add 3 cm to the resulting figure after multiplying.
  • Determine a suitable midi-skirt length by multiplying the height by a number from 0.4 to 0.55 (on average by 0.5).
  • Multiply the height by 0.62 to find out the length of the skirt to the floor. The result is adjusted for heels.

By season

Spring

In spring, women like light skirts that sit loosely on a figure, for example, tulip skirts or bell skirts. No less popular in the spring and tight pencil skirts, which are worn with pantyhose and pumps.

For the spring season, skirts of medium length and models up to the ankles are especially in demand. The color range of spring skirts is usually delicate and is presented in pastel tones.

In addition, floral prints are often used for these skirts.

Summer

In the hot season, girls pay attention to the skirts of a free cut. Skirts of the “bell” and “tulip” styles are especially in demand in the summer, as they do not wrap their legs, but allow them to “breathe”.

In the colors of summer skirts are often used bright colors, but the leader is white.

As for the length, in summer both airy models in the floor, and skirts of medium length, as well as all variants of short skirts are equally popular.

Autumn

Cool weather makes fashionistas pay attention to thick and long skirts, but on warm autumn days it is quite possible to wear a skirt of medium length or above the knees, combining it with pantyhose and suitable shoes.

Fabrics for fall skirts are represented mainly by dense materials. Knitted and knitted models are especially popular.

Winter

Skirts that are in demand this season are most often sewn from thick fabrics, such as fur, wool or tweed.

The length of winter skirts varies, but most often in winter they wear models up to their knees and below. They are combined with a warm top, boots or boots.

Prints

Since the trend is now stripes, polka dots and a cell, a large number of skirts are represented by these prints. They differ in both the size of their basic elements and color combinations. Especially often women of fashion choose skirts in red and black cells and black and white stripes.

Not inferior in popularity and delicate floral print. Depending on the figure, the girl can choose both a skirt with a small flower and a model with bright large flowers.

Ethno motives are popular.

Abstract drawings, animal prints (for zebra, leopard) and oriental motifs are also in demand.

Fabrics

For sewing light skirts, organza, chiffon, veil, lace, fine cotton, satin, denim, silk, linen fabric and similar materials are used. Such fabrics are particularly well suited for tulip skirts, straight skirts to the floor, bell skirts, summer sun-skirts and a half sun, short puffy skirts, skirts of the “tutu” or “barrel” styles.

Dense materials used to create skirts are represented by thick knitwear, woolen fabric, suede, leather, tweed, velvet, thick cotton, jacquard and similar fabrics. Such fabrics, capable of supporting the shape, are especially in demand for pencil and trapezium skirts.

Knitted skirts are popular nowadays, which can differ in the thickness of the threads used for knitting and in the knitting method and patterns. They are presented as light openwork products, and dense winter models.

What to wear: spectacular images

Business image is most often created with the help of straight skirts knee-length low-key colors. They are combined with classic blouses and strict shirts, as well as complement a jacket or jacket. Shoes for such an image are most often high-heeled shoes.

Creating a casual look, the skirt is combined with a variety of top options. For example, a T-shirt or a monophonic top will suit well the maxi skirt of chiffon. Skirt with frill looks better with a plain blouse. For a warm casual model, you can choose a turtleneck for a tone lighter than the skirt, cardigan or jacket, as well as a vest or jacket.

Denim skirt looks great with a shirt or t-shirt.

To create a romantic look for a skirt, a delicate blouse is selected, for example, with lace trim. The skirt itself is often chosen with a high waist and complemented by an elegant belt.

Lovers of the now popular sports style combine a skirt with T-shirts, turtlenecks and T-shirts, and in cool weather - with a jumper or cardigan. As shoes often choose shoes with laces.
