Easy Tips For Choosing The Right Skirt Suit For Your Body Shape

Skirts, especially women’s skirts, are one of the most difficult categories of clothing to shop for because sizes aren’t always the same across retailers. Finding a skirt that fits your body type is difficult. Some people prefer mini skirts to show off their legs or high-waisted bottoms to flatter their figure, while others opt for midi skirts for a more understated look that matches women’s office formals.

The good news is that there is a skirt outfit that works for every body type and fashion preference. While these aren’t the golden rules or ten commandments for wearing skirts, our practical suggestions should at least serve as a starting point for your skirt search.

Apple Shaped Body

If you have an apple shape, you probably carry your weight in your midsection and upper abdomen, while your body slims down from the hips. Wearing a dress is easy, as you can choose an A-line skirt that fits right at your midsection, or a design that narrows just below your bust.

Choose high-waisted styles that hug the narrowest part of your torso, rather than hugging the widest part. You’ll look stunning in a loose, sexy, flared skirt suit. Skirt length should be just above the knee, as a skirt that’s too short will make your upper body look too full. If you want to show off your beautiful legs, don’t wear it too long!

Hourglass Figure

Usually, clothes are meant to flatter your figure. If your figure doesn’t support tight clothing, it can sometimes be difficult to wear them

But if you have an hourglass figure, show it off! Women’s pencil skirt suits will accentuate your lovely figure and keep every angle balanced. You can even go for timeless neutrals like black or taupe or rich dark shades.

Rectangular

If you have a rectangular body, you have a lot of options. You can choose a skinny pencil skirt suit to highlight your slender figure, or go for a long midi or A-line skirt with enough volume to add curves.

Any style of skirt suit will flatter you, but a long skirt will suit your slender figure best. Wear a simple chiffon dress, a flowy boho bottom, or something slightly edgier. You don’t have to worry about a long skirt covering up your figure.

Pear Shape

If you have a pear shape, your lower body will be wider than your upper body. Avoid anything tight and opt for straight or tulip cuts. A-line skirt suits will draw attention to the narrowest part of your waist and detract from your lower body by flaring out at the hips.

Dark skirts will also help slim your waist and take the focus off your fatter side.

Inverted Triangle

If you have an inverted triangle body shape, your shoulders are wider than your hips. The best skirt styles for this body shape are those that flare out from the hips and/or make the hips look wider. The best skirt types include straight skirts, full-length skirts, A-line skirts, tutus, bias-cut skirts, and tulip skirts. Skirts that are layered, sculpted, or dropped waists also look good.

To add dimension and appeal to the hip area, details like panels, box pleats, or vertical lines at the top work well, as do full skirts. Skirt lengths can range from very short and flared to very long and flowing.

Avoid wearing skirts that are too tight as they will visually lower your hips.

Athletic Body

If you are in good shape, you can wear any type of skirt, but anything above the knee will accentuate your slim calves. If you decide to go longer, choose a flattering midi dress and pair it with a simple pair of strappy heels. The main thing to remember is to avoid wearing platform shoes or wedge heels with your skirt.

Knowing your body type and what kind of clothes suit you can save you from a lot of shopping horrors! Most importantly, it can save you from the hassle of choosing clothing that doesn’t fit you well. At the very least, it will make you realize that just because a piece of clothing doesn’t quite fit doesn’t mean you don’t have a good figure.
