Skirts come in all different lengths, sizes, and styles, making it easier to pick one that will highlight the parts of your body you’d like it to. Think about what the ideal skirt would look like on you to help you decide which style will be best.  For example, if you don’t like your knees, you’re going to want to choose a skirt that hits below the knee. If you love your legs, you might pick out a miniskirt. These are skirts that will take the attention away from your stomach and pull it to your waist. High-waisted A-line skirts are a great option—A-line skirts are fitted at the waist and slowly widen as they reach the hem. Pick out an empire-style skirt, which has a fitted waist and a skirt that flows out, for a comfortable, laid-back option. If the bottom portion of your body is wider than the top portion, an A-line skirt's tighter waist will help draw attention to the smallest part of your waist while letting the skirt flare out at your hips. Pick out dark-colored A-line skirts that hit your knee for a great look. For example, choose a navy blue A-line skirt with a tie waist. If you have lots of curves, a pencil skirt will flaunt them in a flattering way as pencil skirts are very narrow and fitted. Choose a skirt that brings attention to your waist, such as a skirt with a belt or tie-waist, while also making sure the skirt isn't too tight.  Try wearing an A-line pencil skirt that's tighter in the waist and flows out in the skirt. Black pencil skirts are a great option that will go with almost any top. Pencil skirts are known for being tighter than others, so try walking around in your skirt before selecting it. This includes pencil skirts that aren’t too tight on your body, as well as A-line skirts with a loose skirt. Avoid choosing a skirt with tons of fabric, and stick to ones that show off the natural curves of your body instead of just covering them up. Pick out a pencil skirt that comes just below your knees to show off some leg, or opt for an A-line skirt in a fun pattern to add a bit of flare. If no part of your body is wider than the other, try to highlight any curves you may have with form-fitting skirt options. These include bodycon skirts that hug your body, as well as mini skirts.  Pick out skirts with ruffles, bows, or zippers to add dimension. There are lots of different fabrics that will cling to your body, creating the appearance of curves. Try a form-fitting pencil skirt for a sleek look. If your shoulders are wider than your hips, creating the appearance of a triangle, you want to make your lower half look wider to balance it out. A flared skirt is great at creating width as it flares out at the very bottom—pick out one that goes to at least the knees, though a maxi flared skirt looks great too! Pick out a flared skirt with ruffles or patterns to add even more depth. If you have long legs, you can wear almost any type of skirt, though maxi skirts look particularly great since they flow all the way to the floor. Pick out a maxi skirt that hits right at your ankle if you’re wearing flats, or one that comes to the floor if you’re going to wear heels.  If your legs are quite thin, you can also wear a miniskirt with a straight cut. Pick out maxi skirts with pleats or embellishments to draw more attention to your legs. If you’re on the shorter side, pick out skirts with shorter hemlines. This will help elongate your legs, making you look taller. Above-the-knee skirts are a great option, as are fitted skirts.  Try out a miniskirt if your legs are thin. Choose an above-the-knee skirt that has a high waist for a great look. Wearing high heels with your skirts will also help your legs look longer.
Decide what you want your skirt to accentuate or hide. Try on high-waisted options if your body is shaped like an apple. Pick out an A-line skirt if your body is pear shaped. Select a pencil skirt to show off an hourglass body. Choose skirts with a defined waist if you’re plus size. Opt for skirts that hug your body if you’re ruler shaped. Wear a flared skirt if your body is shaped like an inverted triangle. Show off long legs with a flowy maxi skirt. Choose a shorter skirt to seem taller if you're petite.
