Finding the right sort of clothes for your body shape is essential as you’d want to accentuate your body and feel good instead of making yourself feel conscious and insecure about it. As we like to say “Your body is your weapon so work it!” Find out how you can pick the right types of skirt and what not to wear for your body shape below.

Petite

Petite ladies put your hands up! Just like Ariana Grande, make yourself look taller by showing more legs. No matter if it’s high waisted or pleated, go for a mini skirt so that you can elongate your frame. Try not to go for skirts that are made of heavy materials and of midi length as you might look like you’re drowning fabric. 

Tall

If you’re lanky and tall like Kendall Jenner, lucky you ’cause you can pull off almost any type of skirt! Try a midi length skirt as it’s the hardest length to pull off and flaunt those long legs with a side slit. Do not wear mini skirt with a crop top as you’ll end up looking like an adult trying to squeeze into your kid sized clothes.

Straight

Ladies with a more boyish frame, add curves to your body with A-line skirts. Alexa Chung does it right with the denim skirt on the left but she looks frumpy on the right. Avoid loose fitting or shapeless skirts as it doesn’t do anything to flatter your body.

Pear shaped

For those who are bottom heavy like Demi Lovato, high waisted skater skirts are your best friend as it draws attention away from your bottom and to your waist. Try not to squeeze into a tight mini skirt as it emphasises on the bottom and we feel like we can’t breathe just by looking at Demi in that outfit on the right.
