In a modern women's wardrobe skirts again occupy an honorable place. If earlier they were forgotten and “pushed aside”, now fashion returns to this element of clothing, which is increasingly appearing in the collections of leading designers. Among others, one of the most popular models is a skirt flared to the bottom. Let's try to figure out what styles of such a skirt exist and with what to combine it.
Model description
Last summer, at the peak of popularity, there was a long skirt in the floor cut "sun". Now she was replaced by a skirt flared to the bottom. What is the name of such a model for professional tailors? Already many years ago, it received the name year. This is a kind of combination of two different models of skirts - pencil and flare. Tightly seated on the waist and hips, it expands to the bottom with set-in wedges. Their number can vary from 4 to 14. It is noteworthy that the wedges themselves can be made both from the same material as the base, and from a completely different fabric, different in hue and structure. The latter option gives a special charm to the silhouette.
A flared skirt came into fashion in the 1960s. This style was fond of movie stars, among which Brigitte Bardot was especially noted. Since then, a year's skirt has become almost a classic of the genre.
Its traditional length is slightly below the knee, although there are silhouettes half a floor long or up to the level of the ankle (seven eighths). Ultrashort year-old skirt models do not exist. To create evening looks, it is long flared models that are used. Here there can be both an overestimated and an understated waist line, an asymmetric cut, inserts, decor at the top or bottom.
Materials
What fabrics are the skirt models described in? The most diverse material is used: thin cotton, viscose, silk, denim, etc. They dress a skirt in any season - it all depends on the density of the fabric. If in winter jacquard, tight knitwear will be appropriate, then for summer, a fabric called a spatula is considered ideal. As a rule, products from this material are sewn with some kind of print.
A separate series is a knitted long skirt flared to the bottom. She looks very impressive due to her delicacy and delicate drawings. And they knit it both from thick threads for winter, and from thin yarn, more suitable for hot pores.
The lineup
Modern designers offer our attention a great variety of clothing items for every taste and color. So, a skirt flared to the bottom is presented in a short length, medium and long. Short - meaning to the knee, most often considered an office option. It usually does not have catchy decors and finishes, and the shade is taken plain, concise or calm. Average length - these are products slightly below the knee. Ladies like to wear these skirts for a walk in the park, meeting with friends in a cafe, and even a romantic date. A long skinny skirt, with a flare starting at the bottom, is well suited for festive events. It is performed in a variety of colors.
Among the unusual and original silhouettes, asymmetric godet skirts with an uneven hem can be noted. Also looks very interesting spiral year, which was popular in the 70s of the past century and is now again at its peak, only in a little processing.
How to choose the right one?
The skirt of the style of the year is ideally suited to those young ladies who seek to balance the figure. The not too tight upper skirt and flared bottom allow ladies with wide hips to feel free.
Girls with a physique "triangle" should pay attention to such a style. A straight flared skirt to the bottom does not add extra volume, but, on the contrary, hides problem areas. In addition, the expanded bottom of the product visually a little thinner and makes the figure easier. In this case, we are talking about long models.
Short girls can safely put on a midi-long skirt that opens their legs a little. This silhouette looks appropriate both in everyday wear and at work in the office.
Owners of a figure of the "rectangle" type and slender young ladies with an hourglass physique will look great in any style, regardless of the texture of the fabric and prints.
What is it combined with?
A skirt flared to the bottom, without problems, is suitable for a solemn occasion, and for a working meeting. Do not forget that for a business ensemble you need to choose clothes of calm (beige, brown), or dark colors. The length of both midi and maxi is perfect for work. You can combine it with a strict blouse, a shirt of silk and chiffon. Slim golf and a fitted jacket to the hip level will fit here. A good combination will come out of a smooth one-year skirt and a voluminous sweater or pullover.
Another thing is an evening outfit. Strict lines are no longer needed here. The company will make a long skirt with a narrow top without sleeves and straps with the addition of catchy accessories. As a complement, you can use a wrap of fur, or a short bolero. In the autumn period can not do without a flared coat.
In an original way, with the help of a flared bottom skirt, leather jackets and boots, you can create a defiant rock image.
If the young lady wants to emphasize her femininity, then it is worth picking up sophisticated high-heeled shoes and elegant jewelry.

DIY skirt
Many needlewomen wonder how to sew a skirt flared to the bottom. This is not surprising, because such a model is suitable for everyone, without exception. A shortened to the knee skirt looks good on short ladies. It will look even more impressive if you put on your underskirt with a lace skirt with a lace strip around the edge.
It is enough to rely on the drawing of a straight two-seam skirt to get a skirt flared to the bottom. The pattern is built of two panels - front and back, which are cut from the bottom to the center point of the tuck. So along the cut line a flare is formed on the bottom. The bottom very smoothly connects the bottom of each of the panels. The excess on the hips is removed along the lateral line due to the extension.
When modeling a skirt, it is necessary to take into account the pattern on matter, whether it is a strip, a cage, abstraction, flowers, or a plain version. Based on this, a layout is made on the fabric, when the middle of each panel is applied to the fold of the material and the pattern is beautifully combined.
