Women's Skirts

From kicky and casual to sleek and sophisticated, a few good skirts are wardrobe must-haves. But how do you decide which looks to stock up on? Pay attention to cut, length, fabric, and color or pattern. Skirts made of cotton and denim are durable and easy to clean for frequent wear. Those made from more delicate materials, such as silk or linen, might require dry cleaning, making them more suited for work than play or every day. If your body is somewhat rectangular in shape, look for flared skirts that add a bit of volume and create curves. Pear-shape women with fuller lower halves will likely find A-line skirts most flattering. Women with hourglass figures -- hips and shoulders about the same width with a well-defined waist -- can wear nearly any skirt cut.
