A-line skirt
Since its inception, this style has immediately gained widespread recognition and popularity among millions of women from all over the world. For many decades, the A-line skirt does not lose its relevance and does not go out of fashion.
A-line skirt is a fitted model, flared at the bottom. It can be of different lengths - from mini to maxi, but generally the length is widespread - to the knee or slightly below. The A-line model is a classic option for everyday use or the office. The skirt can be with an elastic band, on a belt, have a small yoke, be decorated with folds, buttons, frills, etc.
The popularity of this model is primarily due to its convenience and elegant appearance. The skirt does not hinder movement when walking, looks harmonious with clothes of different styles and is suitable for women of any age and body type.
A-line skirts can be decorated with a variety of prints or made of plain material.
Who is it suitable for?
Skirts of this style neatly emphasize the waist and smoothly expand towards the hips. Such models look great not only on figures with classical parameters. A-line skirt suits women with an inverted triangle body type. It visually balances broad shoulders with narrow hips, thereby making the figure more harmonious. A model of short or medium length will visually lengthen the legs, make them more slender.
If the hips are very wide, then this model should be chosen with care, since the figure will seem even wider and heavier than it really is. Long and semi-long skirts should be preferred.
Holders of an apple-type figure are advised to choose a model with a length below the knee in order to stretch the silhouette, then the figure will seem more slender. For tall, overweight women, the length "to the floor" is suitable.
A thin girl can try on a trapeze skirt of any length. Such a model will help to emphasize the fragility of the figure and open long, slender legs to the views of others.
For girls with an asthenic body type, skirts with large prints or horizontal stripes are recommended. This pattern adds volume to the figure and makes it more feminine and rounded.
Curvy women should not choose bright, flashy colors. You should also refrain from skirts with decorative elements in the form of pockets, embroidery, contrasting seams in color, buttons, appliqués on the hips. Such decorations further emphasize problem areas.
A long A-line skirt can be wide or narrow. In the first case, it will fall to the floor in beautiful, large waves. The second option is a classic A-shaped skirt.
