Chic with floral

The Pencil and straight skirts look good on almost all body types and are in fact ideal for women who are slightly heavy in the middle, provided it is layered properly. Wear them with slightly loose shirts or tops, tucked in or otherwise.

 Pair with a blazer for a formal official look, a knitted top for informal wear and dress it up with a sequined top and pumps for party wear....... or don a denim jacket for a casual look or look chic with a floral one............

The mermaid or fishtail is fitted till the knees and flares below. It can be knee length or full length. It pairs best with slightly fitted tops and T’s.

The mini is of course for the ultra slim and can be worn over tights or leggings too. They look fab with stilettoes or boots. Teenagers can even carry them off with sneakers.

The pleated skirt can be a bit tricky to wear as they tend to sit around the waist and then flare till below the knees. It can be worn with a fitted shirt or a high neck tight top in a solid colour which should ideally be tucked in. If you are still unsure of the look, throw on a short jacket or blazer which matches either your skirt or your top and you will immediately get a slimming effect……………

The pleated skirt can also be worn with any shirt which is figure hugging and not loose and the colour of the top can be a contrast, to make the pleats stand out……….. It can also be paired with a crop top.

The gypsy skirt is best for casual wear, be it plain or printed. When wearing this style, complete the look with only one printed item, be it the skirt or top. It can be a simple gypsy which falls as a midi from the waist down or a knee length one with horizontal panelling. The midi looks fabulous on any body type, especially with a layered affect. Or try accessorizing with a knotted stole or a belt worn over your blazer to stand out............
