How to choose a skirt according to the type of figure

The skirt is an effective and rather insidious tool. If you choose it correctly, it will emphasize the dignity. But if you make a mistake, it will highlight all the flaws in the physique. Therefore, BAON decided to tell you how to choose a skirt according to the type of figure in order to look irresistible and feminine.

Seven popular skirt styles

To understand what type of figure which skirts are suitable, you need to understand the current styles:

1. Pencil. Few people know that the model appeared after a woman began to fly an airplane. To prevent the skirt from getting tangled in the screws during the flight, it was tied at the bottom with an elastic band. This is how the pencil turned out, which effectively emphasizes the curve of the hip and slender legs. Owners of too narrow or massive hips should be careful with him. Looks impressive with crop tops, tucked inside T-shirts and shirts.

2. A-silhouette. Universal style that suits almost all girls. More comfortable than a pencil, but no less elegant and feminine. Successfully masks the imperfections of the hips. These skirts are suitable for girls with any type of figure.

3. 

4. With smell. A cunning model that masks the abdominal area, transferring all attention to the legs. Hence the combination with tops, tight-fitting jumpers. The main thing is not to overdo it with folds, otherwise you will not be able to hide the flaws.

5. To the floor With the right choice of clothes, it will become an organic part of everyday and even office outfit. It always looks good. However, it hides growth, so short girls are advised to wear it with caution. Tops and tank tops will help complete the look.

6. Straight skirt. A good tool to visually become taller and thinner. A model with a slit will fit into a business, solemn and everyday style. It harmonizes with classic semi-loose cut blouses.

7. Pleated. It has been worn for a hundred years, and the model does not become obsolete. The flowy style visually stretches the hips and is suitable for every physique, except for the oversized. It is combined with tops, T-shirts, blouses made of light fabrics.

8. Godet. Retro is at the height of fashion again, as evidenced by the photos of numerous street style adherents. Choose a fitted top and a cropped jacket for this model . She will hide the lush hips, emphasize the grace of the legs. The exception is the owners of wide ankles.

9. Sheer skirts. Transparent materials do not leave fashion collections. Models from chiffon, tulle, lace remain at the peak of popularity. Only now they are offered to be worn with a tight and opaque top. Stylists also offer to combine delicate skirts with elegant shirts and jackets.

10. With flounces and frills. Another way to create a feminine silhouette is to use all kinds of flounces . 

How to choose a skirt according to your figure

There are five basic silhouettes that you need to build on when compiling harmonious bows.

Pear

The problem

The bottom is wider than the top, and extra pounds are deposited on the hips, legs and stomach. Such proportions look quite feminine if the stomach is flat and the waist is highlighted.

Answer

To understand which skirts are suitable for a figure, find out the main “pain points”. You are required to balance the top and bottom. Neutralize the hips, build volume in the shoulders, and stretch the silhouette itself to divert attention from the legs.

Tips for eliminating hip volume:

• do not use clothes with a low belt, ruffles, frills, a lot of layers and a peplum;

• give preference to dark colors;

• patch pockets at the bottom are not allowed;

• wide, shiny belts are excluded;

• vertical inserts of dark color and decorative seams will help;

• the ideal solution is year-round skirts with a length just below the knees to achieve the hourglass effect.

You can increase the volumes from above using:

• light colors;

• flashlight sleeves;

• straps that are placed far apart;

• multilayer draperies;

• deep neckline;

• turn-down collars.

It is not suitable to combine a tight top and a lush bottom, as well as wear sundresses with a lowered waist.

Apple

The problem

The hips and chest are almost the same in size, excess weight is concentrated in the waist area. The main plus is the perfect chest.

Answer

How to choose a skirt according to the figure in this case? Very simple. Your task is to stretch the silhouette, divert attention from the belt and focus it on the ankles. For this purpose, products of a narrow style are well suited, especially with a high waist. Skirts flared down look great too.

The ideal solution would be

• wrap skirt. The main thing is that it does not interfere with your movement and does not fit your legs too tightly;

• the “pencil” shape will help to achieve grace, but with massive hips it can provoke the opposite effect;

• you can experiment with a high waist and an asymmetric cut.

“Apple” shapes need to be easily outlined, not outlined in detail. Focus on the deep neckline, as well as the legs. Short and medium skirts will reveal slender ankles.

It is better to avoid expressive accents, large ornaments, shine. The priority is straight cut. Under the ban are thin fabrics, flared dresses, all kinds of ruffles, hoodies, wide belts. Be sure to use the main trump card and choose a V-shaped neckline.

inverted triangle

The problem

Massive shoulders, narrow hips, and a slightly defined waist. In this case, extra centimeters are formed in the area of ​​​​the shoulders and chest. However, the legs of girls with this type of figure are slender, and the buttocks are taut. Therefore, mini-format skirts will come in handy.

Answer

Shoulders and chest should be hidden “in the shadows”, emphasize the waist, and highlight the legs as much as possible.

Stylists advise to adjust the hips with:

• trapezium;

• layered skirts with a bright belt and pleats;

• assemblies, folds, corrugation, peplums, sun-flares, ruffles, bows;

• prints “peas”, “stripe”, “cell”;

• color contrast: top – dark, bottom – light;

• skirts under a figure with a smell and a direct cut.

Broad shoulders are masked by dresses with straps located closer to the neck, as well as one-shoulder or shirt-type models. For special occasions, you can choose bustier options with a dark top to give the shoulders the missing grace.

Boat and square cutouts, puffy sleeves, high waist, wide and narrow straps are prohibited. If the contrast between the top and bottom is severe, avoid the traditional sheath and V-neckline.
