SCHICK STYLE: HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT SKIRT FOR YOUR SHAPE

Whether petite or pear-shaped, find the right skirt to complement your figure with this style guide!

FOR THE APPLE-SHAPED FIGURE:

If you have a voluptuous torso and thinner lower half, a high-waisted skirt is considered apt for your body type. This will add volume to your lower region, giving you a more even look throughout! Also, avoid skirts with a clutter of prints, since they tend to look bulky. Instead, go for bottoms with subtle prints and pair with neutral-coloured tops to achieve a proportionate look.

??FOR THE PEAR-SHAPED FIGURE:

If you have broader hips and thinner shoulders, then the A-line skirt is your best bet. Similar to women with an apple-shaped body, opt for high-waisted skirts, as it draws attention to the waist, rather than the hips. Try and stay away from stretchy fabrics like lycra, as they cling to the hips, making them appear larger than they are.

??FOR THE PETITE LADY:

Make your frame look fuller and more feminine by going for a tulip or ankle-length skirt. This also adds the illusion of height (if that???s what you were going for)! Avoid half-calf skirts though, because they tend to make you look shorter than you are. Asymmetrical hemlines, side-slits and overlapping designs are all you should look out for when shopping for skirts!

FOR THE HOURGLASS FIGURE:

Don???t be afraid to show off your curves a little. You have the perfect body shape to wear form-fitting clothes, so the bodycon skirt is just right for you! Go easy on the prints though, as it tends to draw attention to the bum area.
