Skirts are the most versatile piece of clothing from beach vacations to office wear there are various types of skirts and different ways to style them. Here I have compiled a list of different types of skirts and how you can style them.
Straight Skirt-
This type of skirt as the name suggests hugs the waistline and goes straight. It is perfect for work and other formal business meetings. The straight skirt is often confused with the pencil skirt but they’re two different styles.
A-Line Skirt-
The A-line skirt is tighter near the hips and thighs, broader at the bottom thus forming an ‘A’ shape. This is also perfect for work and school.
Tube Skirt-
Tube skirts are pretty similar to pencil skirts but they’re shorter than them and the fabrics used are different. They are perfect for casual days when you feel dressy.
Pencil Skirt-
The most coveted type of skirt, either you will love this or hate this and there is no in-between. Because this skirt either flatters one’s body type or emphasizes the problem areas and makes them look worse. This type of skirt can be dressed up or down according to the occasion and preference.
Paneled Skirt-
This type of skirt has vertical panels which is fitted at the waist and flares out toward the hem. This is perfect for work, casual dates and evening outs.
Peplum Skirt-
Peplum skirts has two layers one which is an elongated hem which flares out. The layer underneath is a short pencil skirt. This is a great skirt for work, parties and other casual events.
Wrap Skirt-
Wrap skirts like the name suggests is a loose skirt that wraps around the waist and is secured with a button or a tie.This type of skirt is perfect for casual wear and evening outs.
Bubble Skirt-
The bubble skirt has 2 layers, an outer flowy layer and a tighter inner layer. The outer layer is billowed outwards and then the bottom hem is tucked back under and stitched to the inner layer giving the skirt its bubble effect. Popular in the 1980s, they are making a comeback now and are perfect as a casual wear.
Tulle Skirt-
A tulle skirt is a skirt that has a fluffed out and shapely appearance. This is done by adding layers of tulle fabric, a very finely netted material which is also very lightweight though it can be substituted with silk, cotton and nylon.
Mermaid Skirt-
The mermaid skirt is a tight fitting skirt that flares out below the knees giving the appearance of a mermaid silhouette. This type of skirt is perfect for parties and red carpet events.
