I don’t know about you guys, but sometimes I often have trouble finding the right skirt for my figure. It’s basically a hit or miss with me because at times some skirts are too long for my short legs or too short for my curves. I would describe my figure to be short and curvy so I tend to feel more comfortable in A-Line and pencil skirts.
If you are in a similar scenario like I was when it comes to wearing the perfect skirt, check out these useful tips. Depending on your body type you will be on your way to finding your desired skirt.
If your curvy…

Look for more pencil skirts that gives a great A-line that gently will fit over the hips without hugging your body too tight.
Avoid skirts that are extremely tight and have a lot of pleating and draping at the waist area.
To achieve your best look, tuck in your shirt and use a belt (optional) to highlight and showcase your waist.
If you have a tummy…
Search for more lightly tampered pencil skirts and A-line styles with at the knee hemlines.
Avoid skirts with pleats at the hip, wrap styles, thick waistbands and front pockets.
To achieve your best look, go for more simple skirts with a side zipper or flat front. Also look for skirts without a waistband, but more stretch for comfort. To top it off with bright color shoes to draw the attention down.
If you have a boyish figure…

If your short…

Look for more pencil skirts and minis for your figure.
Avoid skirts that fall midcalf lengths and skirts that are too full or girlish-like.
To achieve your best look, go for skirts that focuses your hemline above or just below the knee. If you have great legs, minis will give you length. Another thing to keep in mind is the flatter the shoe style, the higher the hemline needs to be.
If you have a large bottom half…

Go for a more moderate A-line or a soft draped style.
Avoid anything with front pockets with details and pleating styles all around.
To achieve your best look, select mostly dark and muted colors. Also search for styles without a waistband.
