Fit for everyone
A universal model is a skirt that suits absolutely everyone. She is able to hide the flaws of the figure: she will add seductive bends to overly slender girls, and for those who have "superfluous", this will be successfully hidden.
Who is recommended to have a fashionable "super-skirt" in their wardrobe:
- The figure of the type of "pear" - has a slender top and lush bottom, voluminous hips and buttocks in the presence of a thin waist. A mid-length or half-maxi skirt is perfect, hiding the volume on the hips and focusing on a thin waist.
- A “rectangle” -type figure is distinguished by the absence of visible bends of the body - hips, waist and shoulder widths of the same size. Such a model of skirts in the wardrobe simply must be. She will emphasize the waist and add the missing volume to the hips. Recommended length is mini and midi; long models are undesirable.
- The “inverted triangle” type is a characteristic feature of this type - broad shoulders and narrow hips. A half-sun skirt with knee-length will balance the width of the shoulders and hips.
- An apple-like figure — a short, full body with a visible tummy and long slender legs — these are the main characteristics of the structure of this type of figure. At the same time, women have full breasts, against which the hips seem narrow.To hide the protruding belly and focus on slim legs, a skirt to the knee (palm length above the knees or slightly covering them) is suitable.
- An hourglass figure - the proportions of this type are considered ideal, and a half-sun skirt will only emphasize graceful curves. The length of the skirt is suitable for any, but it is better to refuse an extra-mini, since it is unprofitable to emphasize lush hips.
The democratic model allows girls and women of any height, build and age to wear a skirt. The functionality is very wide, with the right combination, it can complement a strict business image, and a casual-style bow.
