Skirts

Skirts – versatile and stylish women's clothing

A skirt is a piece of clothing worn by women and girls and is designed to cover the lower part of the body. Skirts for women are available in a variety of materials such as cotton jersey, denim, silk, and even leather, and can come in a variety of styles, lengths, and colors.

Types of skirts

There are many types of skirts today, and surely everyone can find the most flattering one for their figure. The most popular types of skirts that will definitely suit many:

Bell-shaped skirt

A bell-shaped skirt is perfect for a pear-shaped figure. These women's skirts usually reach to the knees and form a bell shape. The skirt can be made of different types of fabric - it will look great both as a silk skirt and as a woolen skirt. The bell skirt gently flares from the waist and doesn't cling to the hips, making it a flattering skirt for women with wider hips. Thanks to the shape of this skirt, it does not require additional slits on the sides or back for easy walking. The waist of the skirt can be high, low or even elastic.

Pencil skirt

Pencil skirts have become a favorite choice for women in the professional and business world. This is a straight cut skirt, available in a variety of lengths, and creates a rectangular shape when laid flat. Some versions of this type of skirt may also taper inwards at the knee. If the skirt is not made of a stretchy fabric, it will usually require a slit in the back or sides. Without a slit, they can be very difficult to move in, especially with high heels. A pencil skirt, which is often combined with a blazer, will look best in a professional setting. These skirts can be worn by women of all body types and ages, except for pear-shaped women who might struggle to find a pencil skirt that fits their figure well.

Pleated skirt

Pleated skirts are worn in different lengths and with different sizes of pleats. The pleated effect of this skirt varies depending on the size of the pleats. Choosing this type of skirt can turn a casual look into a more stylish look. A great way to create a stylish silhouette when wearing this skirt is by pairing it with a shirt. On the other hand, if you are going to a party, all you have to do is add high heels and a jacket to this look. Because it can be a difficult and time-consuming process to restore pleats to a skirt, pleated skirts are often made from synthetic fabrics that won't fade when washed.

Skirt length

The length of the skirt can also be very different, but it is most often divided into three large categories:

Mini skirt

A mini skirt is a short skirt with a hemline that falls well above the knee. This skirt creates an easy, sexy look. Mini skirts can be combined with different tops, depending on the situation and personal style. A tighter, tighter top would work for a party with friends, while a more conservative top—long-sleeved, with a looser cut—to balance out the shortness of the skirt would be best for everyday wear. This skirt is best worn by younger women with an apple-shaped body.

Midi skirt

Mid-calf skirts are also known as tea-length skirts. Their conservative length makes them perfect for more formal events. Midi skirts can be paired with a variety of tops, including looser tops, fitted tops, and even crop tops, a recent trend best suited for younger women. These styles are best worn with high heels and will look great as a summer skirt. A midi skirt will suit all body types, but it will look best on taller ladies, as the in-between can visually shorten the legs.

Long skirts

A long skirt is a skirt that usually reaches the ankles. They are available in a variety of styles and fabrics, the most common being the long knit skirt. Depending on the fabric, long skirts for women can be tight and fitted, or they can be loose and voluminous. These skirts are usually worn on more casual occasions, although with the right combination they can also be worn to more formal evening events. They have a very versatile style and are usually perfect for taller women. Skirts will suit all body types - apple-shaped ladies can wear more fitted skirts, while pear-shaped ladies should try on free-falling options.

When it comes to skirt types, there are more than one or two, so be sure to include several types of skirts in your wardrobe. Depending on your body type, choose a skirt that flatters your hips, waist and legs. The highest quality Latvian knitwear and skirts can be purchased online in the Viola Stils online store.
