Which skirt for which body type? The ultimate guide to enhancing your figure

    Accueil > FASHION > Inspirations

    Mini, midi, pleated or pencil… The skirt is a timeless piece that enhances every figure. But you still need to know which one to choose! Length, volume, size: each cut has its secrets for flattering different body shapes.

    Choosing the perfect skirt isn’t just a question of style, it’s also a matter of proportions. Depending on your body type, there are certain cuts that balance out shapes and enhance your figure in a harmonious way. Here’s a guide to finding the perfect fit for you.

    A shape: structuring the lower body

    If your hips are wider than your shoulders, choose cuts that balance out your silhouette by drawing the eye upwards. Choose skirts:

    • Trapeze: perfect for emphasising the waist without shaping the hips.
    • Flared or skater: they create pretty, fluid curves.
    • High-waisted: for longer legs and a slimmer silhouette.

    Avoid: overly tight or straight styles that accentuate the width of the hips.

    V shape: add volume at the bottom

    If your shoulders are wider than your hips, the aim is to feminise the silhouette by adding volume to the lower part of the body. Go for skirts:

    • Pleated: add movement and balance the silhouette.
    • Tulips or ruffles: create volume and balance the proportions.
    • Long flowing skirts: perfect for softening the hip line.

    Avoid: pencil or overly fitted styles that emphasise the slimness of the hips.

    H-shaped morphology: structuring the waist

    If your shoulders and hips are in line with a slim waist, the aim is to structure the silhouette and add movement. Go for skirts:

    • High-waisted with a belt: they create the illusion of a more pronounced waist.
    • Asymmetrical: add dynamism to the silhouette.
    • Pleated or draped: create volume and feminise the figure.

    Avoid: straight cuts with no detail, which can flatten the silhouette.

    X-shaped morphology: showing off a slim waist

    If your shoulders and hips are in line with a marked waist, you can wear anything! Even if the best for you would be shapes :

    • Pencil: ultra-feminine, they emphasise your curves perfectly.
    • Trapeze: they accentuate your slim waistline while remaining elegant.
    • Wallet: naturally and elegantly hugging the figure.

    Avoid: overly wide or shapeless shapes that hide natural curves.

    O shape: enhance your curves with elegance

    If you have generous curves with a full bust and hips, choose cuts that flatter your curves with fluidity:

    • Straight: they elongate the figure while adding a touch of chic.
    • Fluid: they move with you lightly.
    • Empire waist: perfect for emphasising the bust and slimming the figure.

    Avoid: fabrics that are too rigid and styles that are too tight, which are too form-fitting.
