Best Ways to Choose The Right Mini Skirt for Your Body
Triangle Silhouette? Get The Skater Skirt
If you have voluptuous bust or broad shoulders, a great way balance those features out is to go for a skirt with some volume. What does Brown advise? Get the flare by investing in a skater skirt. “The skater skirt is a great way to get an hourglass silhouette.” Go ahead and play around wih a high waist or one that sits on the hips. Working with patterns and textures such as embellishments or multi-fabric layering helps create additional volume. This ASOS Stripe Skater Skirt has a button-pleat front and horizontal stripe pattern that will help add a little curve to your waist.
Pear Shapes Pair Perfectly With A-Line Minis
For pear shapes, go for a loose skirt with a waistline that hits just at the hip. “An a-line skirt is going to be the most flattering, since it will fall from the hip,” says Brown. The stylist loves working with darker colors for the a-line style, like this BCBGMAXAZIRA Lucy A-Line skirt, to help smooth out the bottom and thighs.
Smooth Out A Tummy With A High-Waist Mini
If you have a bit of tummy, a high-waist skirt with a simple, flat front is a great way to smooth it out. Brown advises avoiding skirts with pleating, pockets, or extra detail in the mid-region, as those elements can add bulge. “Make sure not to go too short, as you need to balance width by adding a little length,” adds Brown. If you're extra curvy, a high waist on an A-line shape that ends above the knee will look fantastic against your waist and thighs. Hitting just before the knees with a flat front, this
