Every representative of the fair sex and even some men have this type of clothing in their wardrobe. The review below with photos will help you find the model that suits you.
Trapezoid
The A-line skirt is suitable for owners of all body types. Such versatility lies in the A-line silhouette. It brightens up the belly line and hides the often widened hips, focusing attention on slender legs and a wasp waist. Traditionally, an a-line skirt can be mini, midi and maxi:
Gaudet
Second name - fish. This is a unique tandem of a strict “pencil” and a flirty flare. It is believed that in world fashion the style was introduced by Brigitte Bardot. The model consists of two halves: adjacent to the body (pencil) and extended to the floor (flared). The classic length is just below the knee, but more closed options are often found.
It is important to note that godet is rarely found in everyday life, because it belongs to the attributes of retro style. In addition to 60s-style parties, it is also used as oriental outfits and the basis for a spectacular wedding dress.
Pencil
The pencil has no equal in popularity. Thanks to its tapered style and graceful shape, it very favorably emphasizes the seductive curves of the hips. The belt line is high, which allows you to hide your belly and highlight your thin waist. The conical shape of the pencil skirt complements classic business suits, evening wear and everyday looks.
Despite this description of the tapered style, the pencil is suitable for owners of all body types. For women wearing this model, the main thing is not the measurements of the hips, but the rest of the clothes that complete the look. Cropped sweaters, tops, sweatshirts and spacious blouses frame the outfit well.
In modern microblogs of world fashion stars, skirts made of suiting fabric, viscose and cotton are most often found. It is impossible not to write about the leather or lace “brothers” of the pencil. They look very seductive and advantageous on a date. As additional elements, designers use zippers or blocking with textures. Pockets are categorically unacceptable - they violate the overall architecture of the form.
Flare
Traditionally, flared models are divided into:
- Classic flare (sun);
- Bell;
- Half sun.
The flared skirt is quite strict. For its pattern, a regular circle is drawn, in which the center is cut out. Women's options (for adult ladies) can look somewhat ridiculous, so, basically, the sun is used only for children's images.
To give the style even more roundness, the fabric is gathered at the waistband in several layers with an elastic band. At the same time, the texture of the material can be any - both pleated and even. Models of children's skirts made from denim look especially interesting.
Thanks to the wide cut, it is very easy to sew spacious pockets into a flared skirt that will not interfere with walking. Moreover, if you think through their shape correctly, they will be invisible to prying eyes.
Bell
Skirt bell, bell or bell-shaped skirt- the most famous youth model. It differs from other styles in its simple, but successful, expanding silhouette. The waist is constrained by a tight belt or elastic band, while the main length falls freely. Previously, it was worn exclusively over special frames (for example, in the 17th century). But now, often she doesn’t even need thick fabric for the base.
The bell pattern has one more feature: it is simple. The diagram shows that this is a classic isosceles triangle with characteristic roundness. It can be medium and short length. It suits those with slender legs best, but even taking into account the high waist, this model is not designed to emphasize other advantages.
For curvy women this model will not work - on full legs it will highlight the most unfavorable parts of the body. Visually, this will make the overall image heavier and make it look heavier. The only thing allowed is wearing a skirt made of light, flowing fabrics. These are chiffon, crepe chiffon, silk. Soft natural folds will create vertical lines that lengthen the legs.
half sun
Another type of flared models. It can be worn not only on a child, but also worn by yourself - the style is more strict and “adult” than a regular flare. It can be short or medium length. In addition, the maxi option that everyone is familiar with is the most common ankle-length half-flare.
To make a semi-flared skirt look more impressive, it is decorated with a combination of cuts or other bright details. These can be transparent inserts, stripes and others. A variation of this short model is a skater skirt. Its length rarely reaches the middle of the thigh, but it is considered very comfortable for active pastime (hence the name).
Tulip
Tulip styles are the most feminine of all the listed types of skirts; even tight minis cannot compete. Its cut is designed in such a way as to favorably outline the soft roundness of the hips, without weighing down the lower body (which is necessary for girls with a Pear figure). At the waist it can gather into large folds or, conversely, be completely smooth, but as the hem decreases, it narrows.
Types of pleats on a skirt:
- Bow;
- Counter;
- One-sided.
The main feature of this type of clothing is the peculiar smell on the front. Thanks to this shape, wide folds or other drapery elements are formed on the front of the model. Unlike flared options, the tulip is sewn exclusively from dense fabrics: cotton, viscose, linen. Much less often from denim or jeans (they are too stiff and do not smell well).
Due to the folds, a different number of pockets is allowed. They are hidden under the drapery without changing the overall appearance. To balance the look with a tulip, it is important not to wear belts or use other clothes with folds in the look.
Cargo
This is a type of military skirt. It is straight, strict, comfortable and covers the legs to mid-thigh. It’s unlikely to work well with classic looks, but with everyday looks, this is the best option. Distinctive feature Cargo skirts have a large number of pockets, stripes, belts, belt loops and other elements reminiscent of military style.
Types of cargo:
- Mini. Short non-standard models. They are considered exclusively street property and are reminiscent of the military style only through decorative elements.
- Midi. Traditional cargo length. Allows you to adequately emphasize the roundness, without any hint of vulgarity or vulgarity.
The coloring of this model is standard: khaki, military print. Although now there are also checkered or striped options. Jackets and blazers, as well as cropped cardigans, will complement the look interestingly.

FANTASY
TULIP SKIRT Suitable for those with narrow or standard hips.

Hello!
Despite the different weather conditions in the regions, we suggest not to forget to dress up in feminine things - skirts, for example. Therefore, we decided to remind you what kind of skirts there are. And today we will talk about the styles of these products.
Some of them are simply necessary to have in your wardrobe (as they are ideal for any figure and occasion), and some of them are optional. In any case, do not forget that you are a beautiful feminine lady (even in winter)!
So, what styles of skirts are there?
STRETCH SKIRT- this is a short (above the knee) skirt made of elastic fabric, which hugs the hips.
Who is it suitable for? Such models are suitable for girls with beautiful, slender legs. They must be worn very carefully. It is important to remember that if you are very short, it is better to give up minis so as not to “cut” your figure across. A stretch skirt is an ideal choice for girls of the “HOURGLASS” type.
PENCIL SKIRT- This is a classic skirt, approximately knee-length, which fits the hips and always tapers downwards.
Who is it suitable for? These skirts suit absolutely everyone. The main thing is to choose the right length and carefully monitor correct landing: the skirt should not puff up, wrinkle, fit too tightly or, conversely, hang like a bag. A pencil skirt without decorative elements is a Basic wardrobe item; it is universal and never goes out of fashion.
SKIRT WITH A SLIT- This is a tapered (sometimes straight) skirt approximately knee-length.
Who is it suitable for? Since the shape of a skirt with a slit resembles a pencil skirt, it is also quite versatile in terms of shapes. However, the cut, of course, requires high demands on the shape of the legs. A skirt with a slit can add a bold touch to romantic, business and casual looks. In combination with this element, it is better not to use a neckline, but to choose a closed, conservative top.
SKIRT WITH DRAPE- This is a tapered skirt, knee-length or slightly higher, made of flowing fabric that forms folds.
Who is it suitable for? This skirt is perfect for TRIANGLE body shapes that need to emphasize the waist and add volume to the hips. However, a skirt with drapery is a rather complex element that requires careful selection of the top and accessories.
FOLLAN SKIRT- This is a narrow or slightly wider skirt, the lower edge of which is decorated with a flounce. The length of such a skirt can be different.
Who is it suitable for? A flounce skirt is a fairly universal model that can both add volume to the hips and hide unnecessary “irregularities”. It is very important to choose the right skirt length and not make the wrong choice of shoes. A flounce skirt above the knee goes well with heels. This model looks advantageous in the Romantic style direction.
WRAPPED SKIRT- this is a skirt, the front edge of which is designed with a wrap, in the manner of a robe.
Who is it suitable for? This model usually widens slightly at the bottom, forming an A-shaped silhouette, which allows it to look good on any figure type. Depending on the material and color, such a skirt can look great in a variety of ensembles.
TUTU SKIRT- This full skirt from thin, transparent fabric which holds its shape well. It got its name by analogy with a ballet tutu, which it resembles in appearance.
Who is it suitable for? A tutu skirt is an ideal solution for girls who need to significantly add volume to their hips while highlighting their waist. Girls with a PEAR-shaped figure should treat such skirts with great caution: such a fluffy skirt will not hide full hips (if they are really full), but will only make them heavier. In addition, a tutu skirt is not suitable for very short girls, as it will visually “ground” the figure.
PLEATED SKIRT- This is a skirt made of fabric that forms parallel folds (usually narrow). A characteristic feature of pleated fabrics is the size of the folds. They must be wider than the hem.
Who is it suitable for? The pleated skirt (another name for this model) is quite voluminous and widens at the bottom. Approximately knee length models - great choice for girls with a TRIANGLE figure: the skirt adds volume to the hips and emphasizes the waist.
TULIP SKIRT- a very characteristic model, reminiscent in shape of an inverted tulip flower (with a closed bud).
Who is it suitable for? A tulip skirt is an excellent choice for TRIANGLE and RECTANGLE body types, as it creates volume in the hips. At the same time, this style belongs to tapered skirts, which makes the silhouette quite strict and allows you to play up the skirt in a classic style direction.
A-LINE SKIRT- This is an A-line skirt: narrow at the waist and widening at the bottom.
Who is it suitable for? This is one of the most versatile models. Neutral design A-line skirt - Basic item, which will last for many years. It is suitable for any type of figure, since it can add volume to the lower part, hide excess volume in the hips, and “create a waist.” Useful advice: If you feel like your lower body looks a little heavy in this skirt, try a higher heel.
LONG SKIRT- This is a skirt that is ankle-length or lower.
Who is it suitable for? Long skirts suitable for everyone. The only “but” is low growth. In this case, it is better to choose shoes that suit high heels or wedge. Maxi length skirts look great in Romantic and Ethnic styles, in loose looks.
PLEATED SKIRT- This is a skirt that resembles a pleated skirt, but with wider pleats. And the hem in this case is usually equal in width to the fold.
Who is it suitable for? Skirt with pleats (especially short) - good option for a TRIANGLE type figure. It can be an excellent alternative to a stretch skirt. This model can be made in the style of a “school” skirt, which allows you to create bright youth images.
SUN SKIRT- this is a skirt that, when unfolded, looks like a circle. If the hem of the skirt is made in the form of a semicircle, the skirt is called a “semi-sun”.

A skirt is a type of clothing that covers the lower part of the body. Its prototype in the past was a loincloth. In addition, this is the name of the bottom of the dress, starting from the waist.
Skirts are a basic element of the wardrobe of almost all women. They are presented in such a wide variety of models and styles that every representative of the fair sex can find a suitable skirt that will fit perfectly on the figure and allow you to create the desired image.
A skirt is a traditionally feminine wardrobe item (not counting the eccentric Scots). She underwent a huge number of the most unimaginable changes. Either it became overgrown with flounces and ruffles, then it pulled the woman’s figure into a tight vice-corset, preventing normal movement, then it sank to the floor, then it flew up to the base of the legs, turning from maxi to micro.
In our age of emancipated, self-sufficient, self-confident women, skirts periodically fade into the background behind the convenience and practicality of trousers. But, no matter what, there are always supporters of feminine clothing. It is this element of clothing that is responsible for the femininity and elegance of any girl, because no trousers are capable of this. And the variety of styles and models allows you to store skirts for different cases life.
The history of the skirt
The first appearance of a semblance of a skirt occurred in ancient times - it was a loincloth. With the invention of fabric, the process of dressing was simplified. You could simply wrap a piece of material around yourself, pin it, and the garment was ready. Until the 10th century, men's and women's clothing was not much different, and starting from the next century, the strong half of humanity began to gradually lose ground in relation to skirts.
The modern prototype of the skirt was formed in the 15th - 16th centuries in Europe. Dresses for women already had a clear division into a bodice and a skirt. The lower part of the clothing was fluffy and complex cut. Great influence France had a say in the development of fashion of those times. Gradually, the product was transformed, and many types of skirts appeared that we can observe in modern society.
TYPES OF SKIRTS
There are the following types of skirts: according to the location of the cut, according to the length, according to the cut and silhouette, according to the style, according to the material, according to the presence of additional elements, and others.
Types of skirts according to the location of the cut
In some models, the incision is simply a vital necessity. Because it’s impossible to walk around in a tight skirt without it. The depth of the cut is made in accordance with your desire and purpose of the product. For example, in a standard office model it is from 5 to 15 cm, and a concert model can be “cut” almost to the waist.
Based on this feature, the following types are distinguished:
Skirt with a slit on the side. A very interesting cut, often performed in the “pencil” model. In this case spicy detail also necessary for normal movement. You can balance the look with a conservative top.
Skirt with a front slit. This model looks very sensual. The main thing is not to overdo it and maintain decorum. What looks playful on the red carpet in Cannes, in ordinary life looks fake and vulgar.
Skirt with a slit at the back. As fashionistas of yesteryear said, such a cut could mean one thing: “follow me.” And its depth was made in accordance with standards and convenience when walking.
Each woman chooses which cut is preferable for herself. It all depends on the model of the skirt and legs. But it is worth remembering about the depth of the cut: more does not always mean better.
Types of skirts by length
Modern women are incredibly lucky. The requirement to wear clothes of a certain length has long lost its relevance, and no one is condemned anymore for a piece of leg peeking out from under the hem. A properly chosen skirt can make your legs visually longer. Just remember that the bottom edge seems to cut them horizontally. If this line is at the widest point, then the legs look fuller; at the narrowest point, the legs appear longer and slimmer.
According to the length of the skirt, they are divided into the following types:
Maxi. Products that are floor-length or ankle-length. Suitable for girls with different figures - they allow you to hide imperfections, visually making your figure slimmer. Quite a fashionable type of skirt style for the summer season in recent years.
Midi. A variant of clothing whose length falls below the knees, but does not reach the ankles. Such items are suitable tall women. For girls with short stature, he recommends choosing models with caution. medium length, as they can visually shorten.
Up to the knees. This length is also called classic or French. It's a decent, if slightly conservative, option for a suit that can be worn under any circumstances. Suitable for women of different ages and with different types figures, looks elegant and noble.
Mini. Incredibly feminine and current trend the last few decades, which emphasizes feminine attractiveness and sexuality. The length of such products is usually a palm above the knee. Models look good on slender girls with beautiful legs.
Micro. The shortest model, in some cases not covering the buttocks. Clothes of this length look provocative and revealing. And therefore, only the bravest and most desperate girls with beautiful figures without any flaws can afford it. Usually chosen for summer holiday, sports, some special occasions.
Types of skirts by cut and silhouette
According to this feature, there are three types: straight, wedge and conical (flared).
Straight - the width of such models on the hips and lower part is almost the same. This is a standard style, previously often used for sewing various uniforms.
Wedges - widened towards the bottom.
Conical ones taper downward, are a classic and practically never go out of style. Typically, the longer the length, the more it can be tapered. To provide freer movement when walking, a longitudinal incision is made in the posterior central seam.
TYPES OF SKIRTS BY STYLE
