Which Skirt
Works for your Body
Skirts are one
of the most common and most popular outfits used by women around the
world. Skirts have evolved over a period of time and have taken
inputs from the various trends of each generation. With the rising
feminism of the 70s and 80s, hemlines began their way down and did
get back to the mini in the 90's when women began to feel confident
enough in their feminine strength to bring the mini
back
into fashion.
Skirt length
theory for the stock markets says that short
skirt
trends mean bullish markets stemming from high consumer spending and
confidence. Long skirt trends mean that the markets are bearish, due
to low consumer confidence. Though this theory can be contested for
facts, there is of course endless speculation amongst women about the
lengths that are right for them. A few suggestions on this topic may
not amiss at this point:
The length of
your skirt depends first and foremost on comfortable with baring the
amount of leg: the less comfortable you are, the longer the skirt.
Trends define the new popular fashion styles and are all very well,
but it is important to choose your skirt length according to your
body shape and legs.
If you have
thin legs in proportion to the rest of your body, calf length skirts
will give you the appearance of more muscular legs. Choose a skirt
that ends at the thickest part of your legs. The length of Fendi
black flared skirt
is just right for most as is the flared printed. For people with
heavy fatty legs, ankle length is the way to go. The Alexander
McQueen faded beige ankle-length straight skirt or the tiered black Valentino
skirt would
look fabulous. If you are choosing shorter lengths, make sure the
skirt does not end at the thickest part of your leg, which will make
it look heavier and fattier.
For people who
are tall and have the look of those endless legs, skirts a little
below or above the knee, and anything longer at all would suit you.
The most popular for this body shape are the Alberta Feretti short
printed skirt,
the Ungaro Black flowy embroidered number, the Donna Karan beige
straight skirt, the dramatic Gautier
long circle skirt,
or the body-hugging long black Ungaro skirt: all of these lengths of
skirts would look superb on you.
If you have a
shorter stature, with short legs, the best wear is a trim short skirt
well above your knee to make your legs look longer. The loose Valentino
purple skirt,
the La Perla or the Chanel small straight black
skirt
with a slight flare embroidered fitted
short skirt
is perfect for short legs, making you look taller at the same time.
The best
choice for choosing your perfect skirt
length
is to stand in front of the mirror holding a piece of fabric entirely
covering your legs. Raise the fabric slowly and note the lengths at
which your legs are to their best advantage. Try this while wearing
all your shoes with different heels so that you can determine the
correct skirt length with each shoe you possess and you can purchase
based on it. We assure you, if you practice the above process with
time, patience and earnest, you can find a perfect skirt matching and
complementing your body shape.
There are some
do not's and never wears for skirts. Never try a skirt that ends at
the middle of the knee, no matter what your leg shape. On the other
hand, the shadow of the knee where the calf begins to curve out
towards the back is most always a safe bet.
Choosing the
right skirt length, and the perfect fit for your body is a vital part
of finding a designer
skirt
that is just right for you. With the guidelines given here, you can
balance out your figure: make your legs look longer, look taller, and
help you to be a confident, feminine, and sensual you! |
