Find out your body type here and follow these easy tips to help you pick out a flattering skirt.

Top Heavy

Look for:

What you need to do is draw the attention downward, away from your top half. The best way is to wear skirts with prints or go ahead try bright colours; or you can also team up your skirt with eye-catching shoes. Full skirts also work well on you and you even get to feel comfy in them.

Avoid:

Stay away from tapered styles which will just emphasize your bust. Avoid belts as these will only highlight your heavy top.

Full Hips

Look for:

If you are heavy on the bottom half, all you need to do is draw attention to your top half instead. Stick to dark toned skirts that are fitted or flared. A-line skirts are your best bet. Light and floaty fabrics will soften your figure without adding on pounds.

Avoid:

Don’t go for skirts that are full at the waist. Short styles will just call for attention to your problem areas.

Boyish Figure

Look for:

A flip skirt will give you a more shapely appearance. Pair it with a patterned or contrasting coloured top. A floaty, bias cut that grazes the knee will also look good on you. Go for patterns and colours.  Pleats and gypsy skirts will also add extra volume to your figure.

Avoid:

Stay away from black as it will not do anything to for your body. Also, never go for those long, shapeless styles that don’t hug your curves.

Don’t forget to complete your look with the right top with accessories like belts, scarfs & jewellery for a stand-out & unique style.
