A mini skirt may be appropriate for a party, but not for the office. A gypsy flowing skirt may be fun to move around in, but it may be too informal for the professional world. A high-waist pencil skirt is professional but may not be comfortable if you have an active job that requires movement and changing positions.
Dresses are also popular as they can be worn on their own or made into a skirt by adding a jersey or shirt. Fifties style dresses are nipped in at the waist and hug the body to flatter the curves. There are little black dresses for formal functions and summer dresses for fun.
There are different shapes and styles of women’s skirts for all body shapes and while a long skirt may make a short person appear tiny, a fitted mini skirt may make their legs look longer, depending on the shape of the legs. Dresses may hide bulges or accentuate sexy curves and style is important.
Dresses and skirts can be dressed up with appropriate footwear and heels will make the ensemble more formal, while sandals will give the wearer a relaxed look and create comfort. Accessories can also play a role in making an outfit more formal. Pearl earrings and a pearl necklace will create a sophisticated look, while beads and a casual watch will look more relaxed. Big buttons, broaches and other accessories may attract attention to certain parts of the body.
Skirts need not be seasonal and worn only in summer. Stockings and tights keep legs warm in winter and a skirt can even cover up long thermal underwear – as long as nobody sees it! Skirts are available in heavier fabrics such as wool for winter and light cotton skirts are perfect for a summer’s day. Lace and sleek leather is in fashion at the moment. Lace can even be added to the lining or hemlines of dresses to add the feminine touch to an outfit. Colours vary according to the season, but bright cherry red mixed and nude colours are fashionable. Patterns can also lead the eye to certain parts of the body.
Skirts describe a personality well. A woman with a light, colorful long skirt will look carefree and comfortable, while a woman in a tiny mini skirt may turn male heads in her direction. An animal print long dress will indicate a fashion slave who is following the latest trends.
Ditch the trousers for a day and wear a skirt to feel feminine and light hearted. Celebrate the female form by choosing the correct style for you. jackauthors
