Types of Skirts

After reading the comments from some readers in Barneys Girl's Bubble Skirt post, I realised that some people were confused about skirt types. Since dresses and skirts are oh-so-fashionable this season, we, the fashion-literate should know the skirt types:

The Tulip -Recognise the upside-down tulip shape. This is a hard to wear shape. Only wear if you're somewhat tall or skinny.

The Bubble -Puffy with a hem about the same width as the waistband. Cute but only if you're as thin as a mannequin.

The Mini -No explnation needed since we all must have one in our closet somewhere. Can be cute and fun, but if worn 'wrong' (such as matched with a trashy top,) then you'll look slutty.

The Pencil -High waist, hugs hips and goes below the knees. Only wear this if you're tall! Oh, and for the chic look, match the Pencil with this season's huge 'it' belts.

The A-line -The name says it all. My favourite type of skirt and a staple in my closet because it's just so flattering and girly.

A final tip: All skirt types (maybe except for pencil skirts) should be worn above the knees this season. Put on a pair of pumps or flats and you're all to go!
