A-line: Fitted at
the hips and gradually widens toward the hem. This is flattering on most body
types as it camouflages any extra weight you may carry in the hips without
adding too much volume.
Circle/Full Skirt:
A knee-length or longer skirt that is gathered at the waist. Fuller than an
A-line skirt, it can be equally as flattering when cut to the knee and cinched
at the waist. Be careful not to choose a skirt with too much volume.
Pencil: A
slim-fitting skirt with a straight and narrow cut. This is ideal for those that
want to create an hourglass shape or accentuate existing curves. Wear with a
blouse tucked in for a polished look. However, don’t wear if you want to
camouflage hips.
Tulip: Similar shape as a pencil skirt but with more
volume in the hips. It usually looks best with a more fitted top. If you carry
most of your weight in the hips, be careful not to choose a skirt with too much
extra fabric.
Mini: The name
says it all—short and sassy. It is best to avoid micro-mini skirts (keep them
mid-thigh) and denim minis and to choose a fabric with some weight and
structure. Also, wear a more conservative top with a mini to keep the look
classy.
