Straight skirt

Such a popular style today as the "straight skirt" appeared at the beginning of the 19th century. The popularity of straight skirts changed dramatically several times - such a wardrobe item either turned into a dream of all fashionistas, or was categorically condemned, but as a result it began to be considered classic.

The first skirts of this type were sewn long and slightly narrowed at the bottom, but walking in such clothes was not very comfortable, so the modern straight skirt is a simple model, but the simplicity of the cut does not interfere with its high popularity with a wide variety of women.

The cut of such skirts provides for the presence of two seams on the sides or three seams (the third is located in the back in the middle), as well as 4-6 darts. Usually the back seam is made in skirts with a slit. A snake or a button most often serves as a fastener in such skirts, but straight skirts with an elastic band are no less common.

A straight skirt is called a versatile model that emphasizes the advantages of a female figure, making it both feminine and a bit strict at the same time. For girls whose silhouette looks like a rectangle, it is best to take a closer look at models with a low waistline. For those with a pear shape, classic straight models that don't fit too tight on the hips are well suited. In this case, dark skirts are preferable.

Thin girls and beauties with an inverted triangle figure should choose a skirt of this style that can add a little volume to the hips.Models with patch pockets or other large decorative elements will perfectly cope with this task.
