Midi length in straight skirts, this is the most trend that fashion houses in France and Italy are extending for this collection. They like to pack women's legs with a straight cover.

Both horizontal and vertical graphics look natural on such skirts... but women with short legs A vertical arrangement of drawings is more suitable. And tall people can afford horizontal.

STRAIGHT SKIRTS

Style No. 3 SLINES IN FRONT

Straight skirts with a length below the knee are fashionable this season with a vent in the FRONT - exactly in the center (and not offset to the side, as was the case before). These straight skirts are sewn cut with front vent- made of dense fabrics that hold their even pencil shape well.

In the photo below we can also note how good the colors red (on the skirt) and pink (on the blouse) look next to each other.

Summer version of a straight skirt with a vent can be made from fabric with a bright floral print. As in the photo below. By the way, in the same picture we see an interesting addition to the straight cut of the skirt - a diagonal drape from hip to center point at waist.

And if you choose a skirt with a colorful floral pattern, then the rest of your clothes should be inexpressive in color (monochrome), for example, faded gray and white - good for a daytime outfit.

STRAIGHT SKIRTS

Style No. 4 SET-IN POCKETS.

Below we see what is often done on straight-style skirts inside side pockets. It's convenient, sometimes you want to hide your hands. And besides, it adds a special chic to the silhouette of the skirt. Makes her a little less strict. The skirt takes on a free spirit...even your walk changes because of it. And a skirt with pockets is already possible combine with more hooligan things and shoes.

Skirts with pockets are often made of leather. This rowdy pocket cut just begs for rough material. And you can combine such skirts with sweatshirts of provocative prints, with sporty sweatshirts. And on your feet you can wear sneakers, slip-ons, loafers, sneakers.

STRAIGHT CUT

Style No. 5 LEATHER SKIRTS

Now it's time for my favorite material. Leather looks simply luxurious on skirts. This material enhances a skirt of any cut. And straight skirts made of leather look like the centerpiece of your look. It adds style weight to everything you wear. When you wear a straight leather skirt, you no longer need fashionable reinforcement - just a clean shirt, shoes and a discreet bag.

These straight leather skirts look good paired with high boots, a jumper made of fine wool.

It is on the leather material that the cut of a straight skirt looks most beautiful with triangular yoke on the front of the skirt. The neat symmetry of the raised seams is the main decoration of this straight and laconic cut. How and with what else is possible you can read about combining leather skirts in my article leather skirts

STRAIGHT CUT

Style No. 6 WRAPPED SKIRTS

The trend of the season is a wrap on a straight skirt. The spare part is cut out slightly obliquely to give you the opportunity to sparkle your beautiful knees when walking. In the photo below we see that the spare parts of the skirt sewn into the top drawstring, and the skirt itself unfastens with a zipper on the side. Pay attention to the neat stiletto heels and how they match the style with the colorful blouse.

Evening version of a straight wrap skirt may look like the photo below. Here a wide waist part is sewn to the skirt. And on the side the skirt has tucks, which allow the skirt to gracefully expand from the hip, creating a feminine silhouette. The cut doors in this cut are brought as close to each other as possible, creating the effect of a column.

In an evening look, a skirt made of dense fabric will be supported by a top made of equally dense fabric.

But more often, straight maxi skirts are made from less dense material. For everyday wear, you need a softer material. For example, knitwear.

STRAIGHT SKIRTS

Style No. 7 THICK KNITWEAR

Thick knit suitable material for tight-fitting straight skirts. The density and thickness of the material allows the skirt sit like a glove, no wrinkles, creases or creases. Such skirts emphasize the beautiful curve of the hip.

But there is a rule– do not wear such a tight-fitting skirt with tops that are also tight-fitting. It's no longer fashionable. Your top for such a skirt should be wide (slightly). This could be a shirt or blouse tucked into a skirt. Or cropped tops and jumpers that are now fashionable.

In the photo below we just see a short jumper with a tight-fitting straight skirt below the knee.

I really love the combination of deep black with shimmering pale gold. Exquisite color pair. The inscription on the T-shirt - throw your hair back.

Here is an example of how good and organic it looks with a skirt Short shirt. You can take a regular T-shirt and simply tuck it into the skirt, leaving a slight overlap. Or, if you don’t mind, you can cut your T-shirt so that it becomes a suitable pair for such a tight stretch skirt.

From stretch dense knitwear fashionable straight-cut maxi skirts are sewn. Made from thick knitted fabric, such skirts hold their shape better, flow beautifully along the leg, and most importantly, in a headwind do not stick to the legs. They shimmer luxuriously when walking in soft, wide waves. They do not gather into wrinkled folds. In short, they behave as they should the skirts of real ladies. These skirts are suitable for For evening group outfits(as in the photo below with a white skirt and fringed top).

But a white skirt is not always practical. And therefore for everyday life It’s very useful to buy a black straight skirt made of thick knitwear. Especially if you already have a black leather jacket.

Often on straight maxi skirts the slit is made not at the back, but at the front side, just down the leg. Such straight skirts with a slit can be worn with shoes, sandals, ankle boots and high boots (but you CANNOT wear them with short boots, it looks bad). For the daytime group, choose this style in soothing colors - black, muted blue, dark green, burgundy marsal.

STRAIGHT SKIRTS

Style No. 8 TRANSPARENT MODELS.

In transparent straight skirts, designers most often make slits on the sides of the skirt(as in the example with the blue skirt in the left photo). Or they create an intricate cut that combines both side and central hem slits. Such straight transparent skirts are simply created to show off the beauty of gladiator sandals.
Who suits such skirts - such column skirts very elongated figure, hide full hips, create an exciting effect of legs gracefully flashing in the slits of the skirt.

Straight transparent skirts Can be worn not only in summer with tops. They can make a worthy couple long sweater and hat in the autumn season (photo below with a red gauze skirt).

But in the photo below we see a straight skirt with a strong fit to the hips– cut the pencil – and pay attention to the interesting design solution. Make the lining of the skirt more than twice as short as the top sheer part. By the way, the photo below shows an interesting color combination - look how well cold green and cold yellow work together.

STRAIGHT SKIRTS

Style No. 9 PLEATING.

Straight skirts can be cut out from thinner and airier fabrics. For example, from pleated summer materials. The pattern for such a skirt will be the same - like a regular straight skirt. The pleating is simply done before cutting - right on the fabric from which you will sew such a skirt. I’m talking about sewing, because for some reason you can rarely find a straight pleated skirt on sale (usually with an A-line silhouette). But it is the straight ones that look elegant and feminine.

Straight pleated skirts suit everyone and can be combined with many wardrobe items. Just look in the mirror and say, I like the way these things live together.

Pleats on straight-cut skirts made of shiny fabrics look very airy. The silver skirt in the photo below with its elegant cut adds to the look spirit of nymphs from magical forests. And to break the spell and ground such a skirt in our realities, sneakers are simply necessary))).

Maxi skirts with fine pleating are made not only with a wide cut, but also with a calm, straight, tapered silhouette. Such skirts are good to wear in the summer with simple shirts, tops, denim jackets, and jackets.

STRAIGHT SKIRTS

Style No. 10 DENIM CUT

Well, here are my favorite jeans. Straight denim skirts are another big style story. They are beautiful. This a mixture of roughness and tenderness. Blue jeans are fresh. Dark blue indigo denim is a hidden strength. You can buy a neat straight skirt with a meticulous cut and wear it with shirts and clean blouses. Or you can buy a holey straight-cut copy and tuck stretched jumpers and sweatshirts into them.

A denim straight skirt can be a real work of design. In the photo below we see an example of a skirt made from differently colored denim fabrics. This is an interesting move. I’m even thinking about buying two skirts (blue and light blue) and mixing them into one, the same, two-color one.

Denim skirts can be elongated - up to the level of the heels or midi length.

STRAIGHT SKIRTS

Style No. 11 SHINE

And of course, shiny fabrics. They are everywhere. And on straight-cut skirts too. And here the rule, as you understand, is also strict - they can only be worn in pairs with calm, monochromatic things. If your straight skirt is shiny, then everything else shouldn't be shiny. In the photo below, this rule is observed - that’s why we see style and good taste here.

What to wear with straight skirts

Straight skirts with a sweater.

Straight-cut skirts with a midi length can continue to be worn with the onset of cold weather. A sweater tucked into the waistband of a skirt does not add heaviness to the look at all. On the contrary, the dense fabric of the skirt welcomes the rough knitting of the sweater.

In the photo below we see that a loose, voluminous chunky knit sweater looks equally good on a skirt made of thick fabric and paired with a holey openwork skirt - here you really, really need a leather jacket with rough sneakers.

Straight skirts with coats.

Nowadays, coats of various styles are in fashion, from established classics to the latest trends. Below we see that straight-cut skirts go well with both conservative coat models and bold designs from fashion houses.

Straight skirts with tops.

There is only one rule here: tops should be semi-fitting... that is, a complete fit (like stretch) to the body is not necessary. Semi-fitted cut + if the top is made of dense fabric that cannot be tucked unnoticed under skirts, then it must be SHORTENED(as in the photo below).

And if the top is made of soft fabric, then it can be long, but we will still tuck it into the skirt.

Straight skirts with shirts and blouses.

We also tuck in shirts and blouses... or tie them in a knot. Except for those cases when we deliberately leave the shirt untucked, in order to create a multi-layered look - a sandwich from a skirt, shirt, jumper and other layers of clothing.

Good luck with your style decisions.

Olga Klishevskaya, especially for the site

A skirt seems to be an everyday outfit, familiar to every woman. But not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance. How and with what to wear skirts of different cuts and lengths correctly - all the answers are in our article.

How to Wear a Long Maxi Skirt

The main thing in this image is to maintain the harmony and integrity of the top and bottom. Tight-fitting blouses and tops go well with a maxi skirt. But if the skirt has a fitted and tight-fitting silhouette, then it is advisable to wear a shortened top, for example, a blazer. Maxi skirts look great with shortened outerwear: bolero, fitted leather jacket. A combination with voluminous knitted cardigans is possible. Play with colors, this will give your look uniqueness and originality.

Since a maxi skirt visually increases the height of its owner, you can choose shoes with both high heels (ankle boots, shoes, stiletto heels or high platform boots) and flat soles, such as sandals. UGG boots, boots cut in a masculine style, or massive shoes with square heels will never harmonize with a long skirt.

How to Wear a Midi Skirt

A midi skirt is no less versatile than a maxi skirt. Tight blouses with open shoulders, alcoholic T-shirts and sailor suits are suitable here. If you have a chiseled figure and are above average height, it is acceptable to combine a midi skirt with cropped T-shirts.

The selection of clothes directly depends on the image that you plan to create. For example, for a gentle romantic style, thin knitted and knitted jackets in pastel colors are perfect, but for an urban, tougher style, you can combine a skirt with wide-open denim jackets.

Due to its length, such a skirt can visually shorten one’s height, therefore, if the wearer of the outfit is below average height, then a flat sole is contraindicated for this look. But open high-heeled sandals will be very useful.

Both pumps and sandals look good with a skirt, but again, it all depends on the whole image, the more delicate and feminine it is, the more romantic and softer the clothes should be and vice versa.

How to Wear a Short Mini Skirt

A mini skirt is perhaps one of the most complex pieces of a woman's wardrobe. To avoid looking vulgar, it is forbidden to wear transparent T-shirts and blouses, as well as sweaters with a deep neckline, with a mini skirt. In addition, it is better to avoid cropped T-shirts.

But long blouses, voluminous knitted sweaters, blazers and cardigans will fit harmoniously into the image. If the skirt is made of light material and has a “sun” style, a knitted or cotton tank top with a lace bolero on top will be perfect.

If the skirt is tight, it is advisable to choose a loose-fitting top that will not clearly emphasize the figure. This will create a harmonious image without any hint of vulgarity. Colors play a significant role here. If you do not want to attract unwanted attention from the opposite sex, try to stick to calm, non-flashy tones.

How to wear a wide skirt

A wide skirt is contraindicated for women with voluminous hips, and is intended for girls with narrow ones, as it will perfectly add the missing volume. When wearing a wide skirt, you should take proper care of your chest and waist, they need to be emphasized. Otherwise, the silhouette will be lost and a shapeless and unkempt image will appear.

Tight-fitting T-shirts and blouses are ideal for a wide skirt; preferably, they have an open neckline. Of course, if we are not talking about a mini skirt. When it comes to summer, the most basic halter tops will create a simple yet cute look. In cool weather, the outfit can be complemented with a light leather or denim jacket. With the right combination of material and color scheme, jackets are worn with a wide skirt.

You can wear any kind of shoes, but as with other skirts, massive men's boots or rough-designed shoes won't look good here. Pumps and delicate high-heeled shoes are much more appropriate.

How to Wear a Pencil Skirt

A pencil skirt, as a rule, more often refers to it, so the top is selected taking this feature into account. Here, in principle, there are no special restrictions, the main thing is that everything is in harmony in color and material. Blouses, tops, T-shirts, jackets of both loose and tight fit. In this case, it is quite acceptable that the top will be with open arms and even shoulders.

T-shirts and blouses with bright prints are almost never inappropriate with a pencil skirt. It’s another matter when the material itself, for example, a shirt, is made in a small pattern or pattern.

However, as for shoes, shoes or boots with high heels or platforms will look harmonious. Pumps or sandals are not quite a suitable option here. There are some exceptions, but it all depends on the specific models and height. If the owner of the set is below average height, then it is better not to take such a tandem into account, as visually it will make her even shorter.

How to wear a year skirt

The godet skirt is one of the universal ones. For supporters of business style, the skirt can be combined with chiffon or silk blouses and fitted jackets and jackets. If the texture of the skirt is smooth, then you can safely wear it with a knitted sweater or half-overshirt.

An evening look is created by a year skirt with a tight-fitting strapless top made of elastic fabric. A fur cape on the shoulders will add completeness. In the cool season, a loose-fitting raincoat is suitable as outerwear.

Most often, a godet skirt is used to create a rock style, so it is ideally combined with a leather jacket and rough massive boots.

But even with ordinary sophisticated feminine boots, she looks no less attractive.

How to Wear a Leather Skirt

A leather skirt is a rather specific part of the wardrobe, which only the bravest representative of the fairer sex would dare to wear. Since leather itself is a rough material, the top should be appropriate. These can be voluminous knitted sweaters or blouses, but not from chiffon or silk, but from thick cotton.

T-shirts are also not contraindicated. However, it is advisable that something else be worn over the T-shirt so that the bottom does not appear visually “heavy”.

The leather jacket that people love to wear with such a skirt also adds weight.

Almost all shoes are suitable for a leather skirt, with the exception of sports shoes. It will complete the look, so if you don’t want to seem rude and have a flashy look, wear heels. But for extravagant people, massive boots or high leather boots are perfect. Both will look very stylish.

How to Wear Denim Skirts

A denim skirt is an everyday attribute. It is worn for simple exits from the house, not dedicated to any special events. Therefore, the image created by a denim skirt should be simple and unobtrusive. Regular knitted T-shirts and tops are suitable for this. Light cardigans and thin sweaters will also be appropriate.

If the skirt is made in a dark color, then you can wear a thin fitted leather jacket over a light alcoholic T-shirt.

But business blouses with a stand-up collar will not fit here. These are too different styles to combine. Remember, the simpler the look based on a denim skirt, the more attractive you will look.

There are also no special requirements for shoes, because you can even pair sneakers or sneakers with such a skirt. The boots are in perfect harmony with a denim skirt and a plaid shirt, and the image can be classified as an unusual, but very cute urban style.

How to Wear a Straight Skirt

The shorter the skirt, the lower the heel and the more modest the top - the main rule in choosing clothes. If the skirt is straight and does not fit the hips, then it is advisable to choose a top with a fitted silhouette. It can be anything from blouses to tops.

Depending on the material of the skirt, the material of the top is selected. For example, if a business cut skirt is made from suiting fabric, then the ideal top for it is a blouse with a stand-up collar. If this is a cotton version of a weekend skirt, it can be combined with knitted T-shirts and lace boleros.

Shoes, again, in style and overall image. For short skirts, these are pumps and sandals, and for long ones, high platform or stiletto heels are suitable.

How to Wear a Knitted Skirt

It is customary to combine a knitted skirt with something lighter, for example, shiny knitwear. Depending on the style of the skirt itself, these can be fitted T-shirts and T-shirts or shapeless sweaters and jackets.

A good holistic image is created by knitting sweaters from the same material and color.

How to Wear a Flare Skirt

Flared skirts, otherwise known as “sun” skirts, are a very light and simple clothing option that can be worn on almost any occasion. Wearing a fitted lace top in a pastel shade and standing on heels will create a delicate romantic look. But in tandem with a sweater and sneakers you get a casual urban style. A combination of a black skirt and a light blouse will give you a more business-like look.

What gives a girl more femininity, charm and charm? The answer is simple - a radiant smile and the right skirt model. In addition, spring has inspired many designers to reconsider the classic cut, complementing it with non-standard solutions.

What types of women's skirts are there?

Is it possible to imagine a woman's wardrobe without an elegant skirt? Every fashionista can choose the right model for her. For this, the main thing is to just want to look attractive:

1. Bell skirt. This is one of the oldest styles of this type of clothing. Such a skirt, reminiscent of a bell flower bud, appeared back in the 17th century. It is suitable for both going out and everyday wear. The skirt is made of leather, linen, wool or cotton.
2. Tulip skirt. Softly flowing around the hips, adding tenderness to the feminine image, this style has a high or low waist. Perfect for the period of blooming spring and hot summer. Such an interesting model of skirts is sewn from soft fabrics.
3. A-line skirt. It can be worn in winter and spring-summer. It all depends on the fabric. It can be long or short cut. For a casual style, an a-line skirt is ideal.
4. Tatyanka skirt. How to add a touch of elegance and romanticism to your image? You just need to replenish your wardrobe with such a beautiful model of skirts. Due to the fact that the clothes are made from lightweight materials (chiffon, knitwear), they fit perfectly to the figure.
5. Flared skirt. This style can look quite original if you add as many wedges as possible to it during sewing. It is great for slender girls who can boast of perfect hips. After all, a flared skirt is narrow at the waist, and from the middle of the thigh it turns into trapezoidal wedges.
6. Skirt sun. Its cut allows you to hide problem areas, highlighting your graceful legs. It is available both on a wide belt with a fastener on the side or back, and with an elastic band. Modern models of such skirts are decorated with various folklore-themed ornaments, embroidery, and bright colors.
7. Check skirt. Initially popular as a school uniform, such clothing is relevant as an everyday item. It is varied in its style: it can be flared, straight, pleated, curvy, long, short. Due to the fact that the birthplace of the plaid skirt is Scotland, the majority consists of a red color scheme.
8. Semi-sun skirt. It is a variation of the “flare” model. When unfolded, it represents half of a whole circle. A distinctive feature of such a skirt is at least one wrap or seam. The most interesting thing is that its length is so varied that there are options with a train.
9. pleated skirt. While walking, it sways magnificently, giving the female image more charm and beauty. Folds in clothing start from the waistband. Modern designers offer skirt models with both horizontal and vertical stripes. In addition, the fold can be located either in the middle of the fabric or on the sides.
10. . This model can visually narrow the waist, emphasize the hips, and make the female figure more graceful. By giving preference to this skirt model in a long or short version, you can add proportionality to your own silhouette. True, it will not suit overweight women for the reason that it will further emphasize the wide waistline.

A wide variety of types of skirts in cut and style allow women to emphasize their individuality and express their mood, and also gives the opportunity to choose the ideal model that will hide flaws and emphasize the advantages of the figure. Today it’s difficult not to get confused in the variety of styles and styles, so let’s look at the most popular ones.

Length types

Each type of skirt fits into one of the categories below.

Supermini (micro)

One of the shortest options. The length of the product can be compared to a wide belt. This product is shorter than the mini length. This option barely covers the buttock area. Supermini length skirts are suitable for brave girls with ideal shapes. They are best chosen for special occasions and beach holidays.

Mini

The length does not reach the knees by about a palm or slightly higher. This length is suitable for owners of proportional figures, both tall and short.

Up to the knees

Skirts that reach the length of the knees or slightly cover them are considered by many to be boring and conservative. Such models are suitable for both young girls and women over 40, the main thing is to choose the right style. Such skirts are an integral part of a strictly business suit for a modern business lady, and are also quite comfortable for everyday wear.

Midi

Midi-length skirts cover the knees, falling lower, but not reaching the ankles. This option is suitable for tall women. Small girls should be especially careful when choosing an outfit, since a midi skirt can visually shorten their figure.

Maxi

Maxi length skirts are suitable for women of any build and height. Thanks to their floor- or ankle-length length, they hide the imperfections of the figure, showing it off in the best possible light. This is a very fashionable variation for any season.

Styles

Balloon

A product of this style looks like a wide skirt, gathered with braid or ribbon in the upper area and along the hem. Pierre Cardin created this iconic piece in the 1960s primarily for cocktail events. But the skirt was soon forgotten, and only in 2010 did it appear on the catwalks again.

Balloon skirts made of cotton gabardine, satin, taffeta and other mixed fabrics look best.

Pleated

The birthplace of this style of skirt is Scotland. Initially, they were made for men, but soon the fairer sex liked the traditional men's accessory.

The type of folds can be different: one-sided, counter, bow, narrow, wide, straight, group, fan, asymmetrical and stitched a couple of centimeters. It is preferable to purchase products from fabrics that easily maintain their shape, for example, cotton, wool, linen and the like.

Godet (Fish)

This model fits the hips and expands towards the hem without a smooth transition, reminiscent of a fishtail. Its shape is ensured by sewn-in wedges. The term “gode” itself means an artificially widened hem.

This option is a classic type of skirt and never goes out of style. The godet skirt goes down below the knees and is able to balance the figure of curvy ladies. This option looks most advantageous in an evening ensemble.

When choosing a skirt, you should give preference to models containing thin cotton, viscose, silk, jacquard, denim, and so on.

Indian

The skirt is the most eye-catching and most popular item of clothing for Indian women. This is an amazingly beautiful and bright maxi-length product, richly embroidered with gold threads, stones, beads or other decorative elements. The Indian skirt is worn with a traditional top. A saree made of silk is the most elegant.

Country (Rural, peasant)

It is a classic type of long skirt. Ethnic, country and hippie style clothes are perfect for a rural skirt. Such skirts are an ideal option for summer: they give much-desired coolness without exposing too much.

Pencil

A very narrow, tight-fitting style of straight skirts, which received its name for its external resemblance to the stationery item of the same name. Its length can reach the knees or fall a little lower. Christian Dior first introduced it in his collection at the end of the 1940s, and almost immediately this model gained fans in the office environment.

Due to the possible restriction of freedom of movement by a skirt, manufacturers often provide slits in this style in the back or on the sides. For the pencil skirt, it is possible to use both suiting fabrics and velvet, tweed, wool, and gabardine.

Cargo

This model, based on the military style, is classified as a straight type of skirt with a belt. The simple cut is complemented by large pockets and a significant number of belt loops. The skirt took its name from the English cargo - cargo, since it was positioned as a “female version” of trousers used by loaders during work.

When choosing a cargo-style skirt, it is advisable to give preference to models made of denim, cotton, and leather.

Kilt

Knee-length skirt with pleats at the back. This is the traditional clothing of Scottish men. Since the 19th century, it has traditionally been considered a symbol of the country and its cultural value. Typically, a kilt is made of woolen material with a checkered pattern. Most often, these skirts are used at formal events, however, young people have already managed to adapt them to everyday wear.

Blade

A skirt that is formed from a large number of wedges - triangular panels. It creates an easy and smooth transition to the bell shape, harmoniously fitting the hip area. The blade will favorably emphasize any figure and hide imperfections. When choosing an outfit, it is better to give preference to models made of light soft fabrics with a one-sided direction of the ornament.

Bell

The skirt follows the shape of a bell flower or an inverted glass, which is how it got its name. Fitted at the waist, this model widens towards the hem. The bell shape is ensured by the absence of drapery.

In the 17th century, such skirts were long and worn over crinolines. Over time, the length of this skirt was shortened to the level of the knee area and above. When choosing this style of skirt, it is preferable to pay attention to lightweight materials that form a beautiful gather.

Crinoline (Hoop)

Often such models are an underskirt and have a rigid frame covered with fabric. At different periods of time, ropes, willow branches, whalebone, steel, and nylon were used to form the frame. Nowadays crinolines made of a light frame are a common element of wedding dresses, as well as gothic images.

Culotte

From the English culotte skirt, this model can be called both a skirt and pants. Actually, the outfit itself consists of trousers with very wide legs, and visually resembles a skirt. Culottes add lightness, freedom and elegance to the image, favorably concealing figure flaws. Perfect for summer outings.

For this style, it is better to choose materials that are pleasant to the touch, comfortable and practical.

Multi-tiered

To make multi-tiered skirt models, you can use a variety of materials, and the tiers can vary in any quantity. Moreover, the narrower each tier, the greater their number.

This skirt style looks very beautiful thanks to its spectacular expansion towards the hem. Often the hip area of ​​a multi-tiered skirt is decorated with a tight-fitting yoke, which allows such models to be used as details of an evening look.

Multi-tiered skirts made of light fabrics look best, but jeans in this style also look quite harmonious.

Tutu

Or otherwise, the ballerina's skirt is a wide model, slightly above the ankles. It gained particular popularity in the 1950s as an element of a ball gown. Typically, tulle, organza, and lace are used to make it.

Pleated

The first version of the pleated skirt was intended for men and was a type of Scottish kilt. The walking of their owners was made easier due to the practical function of the folds. Then this model migrated to the women's wardrobe, undergoing noticeable transformations.

Today, pleated skirts have a simple construction of rectangular pleated fabrics gathered with elastic at the waist. In fact, the pleated model refers to conical types of skirts, cut from materials that are initially given a pleated texture.

Rah-rah (Rah-Rah)

A type of short skirt, characterized by the presence of flounces. Initially positioned as an element of a cheerleader's outfit. This skirt did not hinder movement, allowing you to perform all the necessary dance and acrobatic tricks.

Since the 1980s, it has migrated into the everyday wardrobe of teenage girls, becoming very popular among them. For a ra-ra style skirt, denim, knitted and other similar dense fabrics are perfect.

Flared

This version of the skirt is suitable for tall women with full hips, as it will advantageously hide this flaw. For short girls, a flared skirt, on the contrary, can add extra volume and make the figure look overweight. However, this is a great option for an everyday look.

Today, flared skirts are made from a variety of materials: knitwear, thick cotton, leather, and so on.

With smell

Skirts of this style are made from a wide variety of materials from silk to jeans, and their length varies from mini to maxi. A wrap skirt will be relevant in any situation - from relaxing on the beach to working in the office.

With a slit

This skirt model can have any length. Actually, the cut itself does not impede free movement, but, on the contrary, harmoniously emphasizes the line of the legs and hips. The material and color for this style of skirts are chosen according to desire and mood.

Sarong

It's just a wide piece of fabric. In some parts of Asia and most of the Pacific Islands it is wrapped around the hips, giving it the shape of a skirt. This model is worn with pleasure by both women and men in everyday life.

Often, sarong skirts are made of cotton and dyed using the batik technique. The length of a sarong skirt can reach from ankles to toes.

Sun flares

This skirt model is made from round fabric. A smaller circle is cut out in its center, which will later serve as a belt. The flared sun skirt is popular among women due to its ability to emphasize the advantages of the figure and hide flaws.

For the summer season, you need to choose sun flared models made of silk, cotton, chintz, linen and chiffon; in winter, options made of wool, jacquard, velor and so on are preferred.

Trapeze (A-line)

Skirts of this style fit the hips and flare out at the bottom, thereby resembling the letter A. The length of the skirt of this style can vary from mini to maxi. The trapezoid looks great on knitted, denim, wool, crepe or jacquard fabrics.

Tulip

A skirt of this style is a transformed type of full skirts, the bottom of which was folded in half and hemmed inside. The length of the skirt of the tulip model often does not fall below the knees, and the inherent smell imitates the petals of the flower of the same name.

For a tulip, it is preferable to choose silk, satin or other thin fabrics. Options made from thick knitwear or other dense fabrics will look inappropriate.

Hobble

The hobble skirt, which translated from English means to limp, got its name for its relatively narrow straight hem, which significantly hinders the ease of movement and reduces the amplitude of the wearer’s steps.

This style was developed by the Frenchman Paul Poiret in the 80s of the last century. Today, hobble-style skirts are worn very rarely due to their inconvenience and movement-restricting features. As a rule, they complement evening and wedding dresses, and also appear in Goth communities.

Gypsy

It is a long, loose style that does not restrict movement. It is often used in dance numbers or for a carnival look. The main feature of this version of the skirt is the ability to lift the edges of the outfit up with straight arms.

A gypsy skirt will look great on any figure, and can be easily combined with ethnic and casual styles. It is best to wear bright, wrinkle-resistant, easily draped materials for this skirt option, for example, satin, staple, mixed fabrics, rayon or polyester-based fabrics.

Skirt-shorts

This is a combination of a skirt hiding shorts underneath. This model gives a woman greater freedom of movement. In it she can ride a bike, play sports and always look elegant.

Sports models are sewn using special moisture-wicking, stretchy, elastic fabrics. For warm models, wool, denim, and jacquard fabrics are used.

Skirt-pants

This model can have wide legs that replicate a long skirt, as in the version with culottes.

So, have an original cut, in which a skirt made of a similar material is sewn over the trousers.
