How to choose the right skirt for your figure | 6sense.bg

A skirt is not just an item of clothing

A skirt is not just an item of clothing. It's a tool – it emphasizes, shapes, and expresses. Therefore, the choice should be guided not only by taste but also by body type. See how to make the best choice:

Rectangle body shape (fewer curves, shoulders ≈ hips)

Suitable: high-waisted skirts, A-line, pleated styles. They add shape and volume to the lower body.

Avoid: straight cuts and skirts without a defined waist.

Hourglass body shape (defined waist, balanced shoulders and hips)

Suitable: pencil skirts, wrap skirts, or styles that follow the body. Emphasize your waist – that's your advantage.

Avoid: shapeless or oversized styles.

Pear body shape (hips wider than shoulders)

Suitable: A-line, flared, or pleated skirts. They balance proportions and don't overwhelm the lower body.

Tip: combine with a lighter top to visually even out the silhouette.

Apple body shape (more volume in the upper body)

Suitable: straight or lightly pleated skirts with a high waist. They draw attention to the legs.

Avoid: overly tight or balloon skirts, which add volume to the lower body.

Petite stature

Suitable: short skirts or maxi styles with a high waist. Add vertical elements and nude shoes to lengthen the look.

Curvy hips

Suitable: styles made of light fabric that "hug" but don't constrict. Pleated or free-flowing skirts.

Avoid: stiff denim, overly tight, or low-waisted styles.

Final tip

The skirt should emphasize you, not make you struggle with it. Choose a fabric you feel good in and a cut that highlights the best of your figure.
