A line skirts - really?
I read an article recently that said the A line Skirt, which is both in fashion now and featured in some shows for Autumn and Winter, is perfect for every woman. The author must have shares in A line production then because, whilst A line can be very flattering for some women, it does not do justice to all, or not without careful thought on the rest of the outfit.
What is your take on this classic? It definitely reminisces from the popular 70s and is now reinvigorated in many different fabrics, from popular denim to heavily patterned Gucci print. Some must’s for this season if you are looking at buying an A line
It should fall mid-calf, particularly if you are short in height.
Wear with chunky heels (not flats or you’ll zoom back a couple of decades – remember Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday?)
If you are pear shaped, keep it neat and cinched at the waist with shoulders that are as wide as your hips.
If you are tall and slim, this is a skirt you can really take the stage with, swirly flowing fabrics too.
Here are some lovely examples if you are looking to buy new, but there are plenty second hand – ebay as my fav, or your local high street charity shops.
