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

Most popular styles

The following styles of skirts are most in demand.

Pencil

This skirt has been popular for many years and is most often used to create a business look. It features a straight fit and a slight narrowing at the bottom.

Knee-length pencil skirts are most common, but there are both elongated models and shorter skirts. Many models have a small slit, and the decor of such skirts is usually discreet or absent.

Tulip

A skirt of this style is loved by fashionistas for its ability to add volume to the hips, as well as to emphasize the waist. Such a skirt sits at the waist, and then smoothly curves around the hips and expands like an inverted tulip flower.

Models of this style with a slightly high waist are very popular, since they allow you to visually stretch the figure.

Pleats and pockets are often used in finishing tulip skirts.

Trapezoid

Women appreciate this skirt for its convenience and the ability to improve the proportions of the figure, as it emphasizes the waist and visually lengthens the legs. Wide pleats or ruffles are often used to trim this type of skirt.

Year

The top of this skirt hugs the hips, and the widening at the bottom with set-in gussets gives it a graceful and feminine look.The sewn-in gussets can be made from the same material as the top of the skirt, or from fabric of a different shade or texture.

The most common year skirts are slightly below the knee, as well as floor-length models. This style is often chosen for fancy skirts.

Pleated skirts

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

The sun

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

To create it, they take a circle of fabric and cut an opening for the waist inside, therefore, in some skirts of this style, side seams are absent. Skirts-sun made of airy materials are especially relevant, and their length is both knee-length and floor-length.

Bell

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

Since there are practically no draperies and folds on the bell skirt, they are often decorated with prints and interesting patterns.

Flounced models

Girls like these skirts for their airiness and lightness. They allow you to make the lower part of the body more voluminous, therefore, they are in demand both by women with wide shoulders and by girls whose figure looks like 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 straight, but there are models with asymmetric flounces.

Length

Micro

Skirts of this length fully open the girl's legs, leaving almost no room for men's fantasies. This length should be chosen very carefully so that the outfit does not look too provocative. These skirts are also called ultra mini skirts.

Mini

In such a skirt, the girl's legs are open, but not completely. Mini length is especially popular with beauties with long legs.

Short to the knee

This length is considered universal for girls and women of any physique and any age. These 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 part of the knee.

Midi

This length is called dangerous, because with the wrong choice of a skirt, the model will fill its owner.

Mid-calf skirts should be avoided for girls with very full calves, and with moderate fullness (provided that the shoes have a heel) and with slender legs, a midi skirt is an excellent choice.

Floor length maxi skirts

These skirts are suitable for almost all girls. In their choice, you need to be attentive only to very miniature beauties.

Finding the perfect skirt length

  1. When choosing the length of skirts, you should first of all take into account the characteristics 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 what kind of shoes the skirt will go with, since shoes (like tights) affect the perception of body proportions.
  3. The next important point is a realistic assessment of the appearance of your legs. The girl needs to decide whether she is ready to open them and show others. If the legs have any imperfections (for example, full hips or a large distance between the thighs), the skirt is selected so long as to hide them.
  4. To determine the length of the mini-skirt, it is recommended to become straight and freely lower your hands to the sides - the bottom of the skirt should go along the line that ends with the fingers.

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

  • Multiply your height by 0.18 to find the length of your ultra mini skirt.
  • Multiply your height by a number between 0.22 and 0.3 (0.26 on average) to determine the optimal length for your miniskirt.
  • Multiply height by 0.35 to calculate the length of the knee-length skirt.Young girls still need to subtract 3 cm, and older women are advised to add 3 cm to the figure obtained after multiplication.
  • Determine the appropriate length for your midi skirt by multiplying your height by a number between 0.4 and 0.55 (0.5 on average).
  • Multiply height by 0.62 to find the length of the floor-length skirt. The result is corrected taking into account the heels.

By season

Spring

In spring, women like light skirts that fit freely on the figure, for example, tulip skirts or bell skirts. No less popular in spring are tight pencil skirts worn with tights and pumps.

For the spring season, mid-length skirts are especially in demand, as well as ankle-length models. The color scheme of spring skirts is usually delicate and presented in pastel tones.

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

Summer

In hot weather, girls pay attention to loose-fitting skirts. Skirts of the "bell" and "tulip" styles are especially in demand in summer, as they do not wrap around the legs, but allow them to "breathe".

Bright shades are often used in the color scheme of summer skirts, but white is the leader.

As for the length, in summer, both airy floor-length models and mid-length skirts, as well as all options for short skirts, are equally popular.

Autumn

Cool weather makes women of fashion look for tight and long skirts, but on warm autumn days it is quite possible to wear a mid-length or above the knee skirt, paired with tights and matching shoes.

Fabrics for autumn skirts are mostly dense materials. Knitted and crocheted models are especially popular.

Winter

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

The length of winter skirts varies, but most often in winter, models are worn up to the knee and below. They are combined with a warm top, boots or boots.

Prints

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

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

Ethno motives are popular.

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

Fabrics

For sewing light skirts, organza, chiffon, veil, lace, thin cotton, satin, denim, silk, linen and similar materials are used. Such fabrics are especially well suited for tulip skirts, straight floor-length skirts, bell skirts, summer sun and half-sun skirts, short puffy skirts, tutu or barrel skirts.

The dense materials used to create skirts are dense knitwear, woolen fabric, suede, leather, tweed, velvet, heavy cotton, jacquard and similar fabrics. These fabrics, able to maintain their shape, are especially in demand for pencil and trapeze skirts.

Knitted skirts are also popular these days, which can differ in the thickness of the threads used for knitting, and in the way of knitting, and patterns. They are presented both with light openwork products and dense winter models.

What to wear with: spectacular looks

A business image is most often created using straight knee-length skirts in discreet colors. They are combined with classic blouses and formal shirts, as well as complemented with a jacket or jacket. Shoes for this look are usually high-heeled shoes.

For a casual look, the skirt is paired with a variety of tops. For example, a T-shirt or a plain top will work well with a chiffon maxi skirt. A skirt with flounces looks better with a plain blouse. For a warm everyday model, you can choose a turtleneck that is lighter than a skirt, a cardigan or jacket, as well as a vest or jacket.

A denim skirt looks great with a shirt or T-shirt.

To create a romantic look, a delicate blouse is selected for the skirt, 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. Lace-up sneakers are often chosen as shoes.
