A-line skirts
The trapeze skirt began to gain its popularity in the early 50s of the last century, becoming a novelty in the collections. Having very quickly won the love of women and fashion designers, by the end of the decade, A-shaped skirts "registered" on the catwalks, becoming an integral part of the wardrobe of all fashionistas of that time.
A fan of this style was at one time the first lady and the country's main fashionista, Jacqueline Kennedy.
A simple cut of this skirt can favorably emphasize the dignity of the figure and hide the flaws. It is all-season, the only difference between winter and summer models is the fabric. In summer, light thin textures are popular, most often natural ones - chintz, linen, silk; in winter - comfortable and warm, for example, knitwear, wool, denim, etc.
Who is it suitable for?
The A-line skirt, or A-line, is one of the most popular models among all skirts. The reason for this success can be called her style - it suits almost all women, regardless of the type of figure and type of activity. In different interpretations, such a skirt can be worn by both slender women and owners of magnificent forms. The trapezoid model is able to hide non-standard wide hips, lengthen the legs, and make the waist more slender.
For the correct selection of the A-shaped model, you must take into account your complexion, the fabric from which the skirt will be sewn, and also keep in mind the situation when it will be appropriate for you to wear this skirt.
For girls of short stature with a "triangle" body type, a straight-cut trapezoid is perfect for the knee, which does not highlight the hips and focuses on the waist. We must not forget that the length of the skirt should not exceed the half-girth of the hips.
Short skirts will be tall and slender to the face, in which you can boast of your figure - the length and volume of the style are completely useless for them.But for those whose body proportions are violated, a trapeze skirt will become just a salvation - if you play with the height of the landing at the waist, you can very favorably present your body to those around you.
Does it fit complete?
Of course, a trapeze skirt is a favorite among busty and full-bodied beauties - highlighting the waist favorably, it gently hides the hips with its cut and reveals its legs.
For women with a pear-shaped physique, the trapezoid is able to hide unnecessarily wide hips, making the overall look a little slimmer and taller. In the "inverted triangle" figure, when wearing the A-model, the disproportionality of the figure disappears, the upper part is aligned with the lower, thus in the mirror we see only the correct body shapes.
If the girl's main problem is the lack of a waist, then the trapeze skirt will become her main assistant in transforming herself. The slightly flared-down style of a midi skirt with a high waistline literally sculpts a new figure, advantageously demonstrating all your, even if not pronounced, charms.
What to wear with?
In recent seasons, at fashion shows, combinations of a-line skirts with various styles of clothing appear more and more often.
In classic models, the undisputed leader is the A-shaped midi-length skirt in black or another dark color. The combination with a white blouse is undeniable. And in order to slightly diversify the dullness of working days, the designers have introduced interesting elements into the strict dress code, such as, for example, a smell. In different versions, it can be rounded or rectangular, it can be with a dedicated edging or frills. In any case, in such clothes you will always look stylish, without going beyond the work dress code.
In everyday life outside of working hours, a trapeze skirt will also become indispensable. In summer versions, it works great with light tops and loose, bright tees, it will make your personality stand out from the crowd.
Summer prints can be added to plain skirt models - butterflies, flowers, waves. Of the accessories, you can put on bright bracelets and grab a clutch made of fabric to match the shoes. The latter is selected depending on the length of the skirt - the shorter the skirt, the lower the heel. Braided sandals will look great, and bright flip flops in the beach version.
In winter, clothes should not only be pleasing to the eye, but also warm in cold winter. Therefore, the trapezoid fits very well, since its length does not have any restrictions. An excellent option for a warm and cozy bow would be a floor-length trapeze skirt made of dark knitwear, combined with a knitted jumper. Warm tights can be hidden under the length of the skirt without disturbing the fashionable look. For shoes, lace-up boots or flat boots work well. As a highlight, you can add a bezel or bracelet with a pronounced contrasting color to the image.
