A-line skirt is one of the classic varieties of this clothing. For the first time this style was presented to the public in the Christian Dior collection in 1947. For more than sixty years, this skirt has not gone out of fashion.
This model is characterized by a tight-fitting waist and a silhouette expanding downward. It blends perfectly with any style of blouses, jackets, sweaters and tops. Depending on the choice of top, the outfit can be either extremely democratic or strictly official. The English queen, for example, in her wardrobe assigned a special place of honor for a trapeze skirt and often appears at the most solemn events in the clothes of this particular style.
Thanks to the free cut, the trapeze skirt fits any type of female figure. With its help, it is good to balance not quite ideal proportions. For example, with narrow hips and broad shoulders, she will add a little missing volume to the bottom of the figure. With wide hips, such a skirt is also able to play into the hands of its mistress: flared down, it neutralizes sharp lines, making transitions smoother and creating the illusion of slender legs. In the latter case, it is important to choose such proportions of the skirt that the discrepancy in width at its waist and at its bottom is not very significant. However, it must be remembered that, since such a style of skirts is in itself associated with an additional volume, heels should be an integral part of the wardrobe, so as not to give the impression of heaviness.
With high growth, you need to choose such a length that the skirt-a-line covers the knee. And vice versa - if you are short, you will look more harmonious in a model that does not reach the knees a little.
Fashionable summer skirts always suggest such a style. Unlike models designed for the colder season, such skirts can be made of fabrics of various colors, with prints of any nature. Today, trapeze is sewn (for example, Akris) even with folds, waves and decorative draperies. Such models are characterized by a mixture of business style and light coquetry. But Fendi offers pleated skirts only on the sides.
Fashionable long a-line skirts are not as versatile as short or medium lengths. They need to be selected according to the figure, taking into account some knowledge of geometry. Such models can be found in the Marc Jacobs collection: the most understated waist lines, the classic combination of black and white - a great option for casual style.
But Victoria Beckham has relied on a mini. In her performance, the a-line skirt is simple and does not contain unnecessary details, but it is very bright and self-contained. Very short skirts are also in the Isabel Marant collection, where leather of bright colors dominates, literally studded with rivets. This is certainly a cool option.
The Moschino brand, by contrast, gravitates toward vintage style. His options for retro skirts are characterized by the dominance of strips and patterns-tricks of belts and pockets.
Admirers of black classics should pay attention to the skirts of Ralph Lauren. These models are incredibly sophisticated and elegant; they are ideal for an evening party.
In general, this model is universal. With its help, you can create different images for all occasions: for office, walks, special occasions.
