Having even one such skirt in the wardrobe, you can skillfully combining it with other things from the wardrobe to achieve several winning bows for each day of the week.
What best looks like a skirt to the knee, which style to give preference to, we will consider below.
Pencil skirt to work, but not only
For the office, a medium-length pencil skirt has always been considered the most ideal option, hiding the imperfections of the figure and able to emphasize the virtues - after all, such can be worn by a woman with a variety of proportions. The decisive emphasis is playing the right top and a set of accessories.
A strict knee-length pencil skirt looks best with white shirts and tight-fitting tops tucked in. From above, the image can be supplemented with adjacent shortened jackets or cardigans. Jacket, blouse or cardigan can be peplum. With their help, the silhouette will look graceful, which is especially true for ladies with magnificent shapes. This image is appropriate not only in office everyday life, but also at any official event, presentation or business dinner. Classic pumps or a pair of pointed high-heeled shoes will complement this look.
Pencil skirts to the knee are allowed to be worn with turtlenecks that can be tucked in or worn out. Fur accessories and long gloves will add a retro touch to this look. From shoes in this case fit high boots with heels, completing an elegant retro look.
How to wear a flared skirt to the knee
Many fashionistas like knee-length skirts of magnificent flared models, but such models are not for every type of figure. For example, they are contraindicated for short and thin girls, since they visually violate the proportions.
Tall, narrow-horned girls can successfully wear pleated skirts or flared skirts, making such a figure more feminine.
A flared skirt to the knee, like no other wardrobe item, except, perhaps, the same dress, can become the highlight of a feminine image in a romantic style. If you are going on a romantic or friendly date, you can accompany such a skirt with a top or blouse in a pastel shade.
Such midi skirts can be successfully combined in one image with t-shirts, long sleeves, sweaters, elongated cardigans in the style of the 40s and bomber jackets. A bag with a bright print or a noticeable clutch bag will successfully complete a fashionable and stylish street set with shoes that can be very diverse: from stiletto sandals and ankle strap shoes to retro-style heeled ankle boots . Tall girls can create a piquant and fashionable look with a fluffy skirt combined with a sweater or cashmere t-shirt, wearing a pair of brutal grunge shoes to enhance the impression of a small backpack bag, decorated with spikes and metal rivets.
Skirt year - actual retro
The style of the year immediately sends the image to the retro - a thing with an additional shuttlecock along the edge is very characteristic in itself. However, a skirt so fashionable today with the right selection of partners can make up a fresh and fashionable image.
Such wardrobe items visually hide the fullness of the hips. Also, a wide frill around the edge of a rather narrow skirt can visually stretch the figure, making it slimmer.
A medium-sized year is an ideal evening option. A knee-length skirt made of rich fabric such as taffeta or velvet is already a decoration in itself, but you can complement it with a top with sequins and concise stiletto shoes. A simple gray or black office-style skirt can be complemented with an English collar shirt. Also, a one-year-long skirt with a knee length can be arranged with a shortened jacket, add a wide belt with a massive buckle to the kit.
Bell skirt
The happy owner of an hourglass figure and slender legs should pay attention to the style of the bell skirt, which can emphasize all the advantages of a feminine figure and hide possible minor flaws.
The length of the skirt to the knee in combination with the cut "bell" again refers to the retro - such a skirt is an ideal representative of the new look style. For this style, hard and dense fabrics are suitable, which without additional folds hold the shape of an inverted bell well. It is fashionable to complement such a skirt with a simple white or contrasting blouse with a short sleeve or a three-quarter sleeve, a plain turtleneck, for summer, choose laconic chiffon tops without a sleeve, tucked under the skirt. Shoes choose only with heels. If the mini bell can be combined with ballet shoes, then exclusively heels require skirts to the knee.
Fluffy tutu skirts
The so-called tutu skirt is a multi-layered skirt made of thin tulle or tulle, really very similar to tutus of ballerinas. This style of a skirt to the knee migrated to the wardrobes of fashionistas after the cult series "Sex and the City", when the main character appeared in the frame in such a skirt of pale green color.
Today, such skirts are popular in pastel colors - mint, pale pink and powdery, light blue. These delicate shades emphasize the fragility and airiness of the image.
Complement this skirt with a simple light top and high heel shoes. You can add a black leather jacket to the pack to create an interesting contrast.
Sheer mid-length skirts
The freshest collections of fashion designers show a trend for skirts made of transparent materials to the knee. Photos from fashion shows prove that the combination of frank fabric and chaste length does not look vulgar, but certainly not suitable for everyone. Wearing such a skirt is only for owners of slender legs.
Under a skirt made of transparent material, a short cover, closed underwear, body or shorts of flesh color or a bright shade contrasting with the main outfit must be put on.
In the new season of 2016, all stereotypes about the old-fashioned and boring form of skirts to the knee are completely broken by a new look at this wardrobe item. Feel free to experiment and look for your style!
