Many of us are very often in pursuit of our perfect shape. And although I believe that any figure is beautiful, like its owner, some people want some more visual improvements. Therefore, today I will be your fairy godmother and tell you how a skirt can help in the matter of visually improving the stature.
What styles of skirts will help hide extra weight, how to lengthen the legs with a skirt and how to wear a skirt with different body types? Let’s figure it out together.
WHICH SKIRT SHOULD I WEAR TO LOOK SLIMMER?
When it comes to versatile skirts, the knee-length pencil skirt is the most attractive silhouette in terms of slimming effect. It certainly features some advantages: it suits any type of figure, it is almost always a high-rise and can have an interesting slit both in the back and in front of the leg. Wearing such skirt of a dark shade with a tucked-in top and high-heeled shoes will make your legs look longer and your torso slimmer. The same goes for a mid-length fitted A-line skirt.
A print on the fabric can also help you look a few pounds less. You can buy a vertical pinstripe skirt or match a plain skirt with a striped jacket. It is important that the stripes are located exactly vertically, otherwise the effect will be exactly the opposite.
WHICH STYLE IS BETTER TO CHOOSE?
Almost all types of skirts are beautiful in their own way, and each of them is designed for different body shapes. For thin girls, pencil skirts and miniskirts are an excellent choice, especially in the A-line silhouette or slightly flared style. Beneficial skirts for plus size girls include flowing and pleated midi and midaxi skirts (especially made of silk or satin). They also add a bit of height and when paired with a fitted top look alluring on curvy women who want to look slimmer.
It is also important that every piece in your wardrobe is the right size for you. With blazers and jackets, always make sure that the seams fit perfectly on the shoulders and the sleeves exactly touch the wrist.
SELECT THE PROPER TOP
A well-chosen top should not be underestimated: it also matters when constructing looks with a skirt that are designed to make you slim. For everyday looks, it is better to wear not too wide tees or plain tops with a pleated or wrap midaxi skirt. If you plan an outfit for a special occasions, spectacular neckline tops are suitable, and for formal meetings better choose classic fitted shirts. Leather jackets and matching jackets also look great with skirts and will help you look slimmer if you opt for clear lines, a V-neck, neat lapels, and a minimum of decorative patches or ruffles.
