Choosing What Skirt To Wear For Your Body Type

With so many different kinds of skirts, it’s really no wonder that some of us have a hard time choosing a skirt to wear for an occasion. You can argue that most skirts actually have a specific event it can be worn in. However, these days it’s even a bit of a trend to wear old kinds of stuff so it really leaves us stumped as what to wear.

You should be worrying more about how these skirts would look on you. Just because they look good, it doesn’t mean that they might look good on YOU. All you really need to do is learn what kind of body you have so you can see which skirt would look good.

A-line Skirt

This one is knee-length most of the time however they still will come in all different sizes. Its waistline stays straight while the hemline, moving down, broadens. This one is for women (or men, not judging) with a pear-shaped body. Pear-shaped bodies are those like the Kardashians who have a bigger lower half than the upper does. It’s a very famous body-type now and what the memers would call “thicc”.

Pencil Skirt

These type of skirts hug your booty and do well in accentuating that. It can be worn to basically any kind of event even though you see this mostly in formal occasions. While this skirt is okay being worn by a pear body, it is also perfect for the people with the rectangle body type. Show your body off with this skirt!

Flare Skirts

A flare skirt is like an A-line except shorter and, as the name suggests, flares out a little more. It circles out as it moves down and covers your butt. This is the perfect skirt for the apple-shaped body. An apple body is when you’re wider by your mid-section but you probably have really long, beautiful legs. So wear a tiny skirt that shows those legs off.

Pleated Skirt

The best kind of pleated skirt to be wearing, in my opinion, is the flared one that poofs out at the hips. At least for those who have the inverted triangle body type. This kind of body is more on the athletic side of things so your shoulders might be a lot wider than your hips. All you really need to do is wear a skirt that will even out the proportions, giving you that hourglass illusion that us ladies always want.

Skater Skirt

This kind of skirt was trending a few years ago for quite a while. Girls pair it off with skater shoes as well and to be honest, it’s my personal favorite. The skater skirt is tiny, very chic and incredibly cute. It isn’t heavy duty so you can wear this to any kind of event, mostly dates and parties. The hourglass body is perfect for this one but then again, any skirts fit the hourglass body, since it’s the perfectly proportioned type of body.
