The Fit: Full Skirts

By on February 20, 2012
The graceful, ladylike trend is back for this spring season. Full skirts are the silhouette that continues to appear in this Mad Men-esque trend. Get in the swing of things by investing in a voluminous skirt, suitable for any body type.

Tall: Just because you have extra height, you don’t have to shy away from a print. A puffed striped skirt flatters long legs. (Ruled the Roost Skirt, $43 at ModCloth.com)

Petite: Pleats will make your body appear longer and leaner. Generally, a long skirt doesn’t flatter petite women, so stick with a mid-length pleated version. (Mustard Pleated Midi Skirt, $9 at DorothyPerkins.com)

Athletic: Stick with a solid color and belt the waist to add a feminine touch while drawing attention away from broad set shoulders. (Beneva Bliss Belted Skirt, $37 at ShopRuche.com)

Hourglass: The key to an hourglass figure is to accentuate the waist. Don’t be afraid to show off what you’ve got with a high waisted bubble skirt. (High Waisted Bubble Skirt, $45 at StyleByMarina.com)

Curvy: A tiered A-line skirt is the way to go for a curvaceous woman. A belt helps to compliment the tiers and accentuate the waist. (Love in Literature Skirt, $43 at ModCloth.com)
