Which summer skirt to choose according to your body shape?

Finding the right skirt helps to highlight your figure while feeling perfectly comfortable. Fortunately, there are now styles suited to all body shapes.

When you have a belly

By shaping the figure, high-waisted styles remain the most flattering.

Favor:

• Wrap cuts
• A-line skirts
• Loose-fitting, non-tight styles
• Soft fabrics that follow movements

A high-waisted, flowing summer skirt is often the best option to combine elegance and comfort.

When you are small

Petite women can favor:

• Slightly slit midi skirts
• High-waisted styles
• Vertical stripes
• Fitted cuts without excess volume

The goal is to visually lengthen the legs and bring more momentum to the silhouette.

When you are tall  

Slender figures can afford more volume.  

The long summer skirt is particularly suitable since it naturally highlights the body's verticality while bringing a lot of femininity.  

Pleated or ruffled designs are also excellent choices to create movement.  

For an A or X-shaped figure  

For A-shaped body types, flowing skirts that balance the hips are ideal.  

For X-shaped figures, almost all cuts are suitable. Belted designs are particularly effective at highlighting the waist and the feminine silhouette.

What is the ideal length of a long skirt?

This question comes up often: what is the right length for a summer long skirt?  

The answer mainly depends on your height and style.

Worn with flat or wedge sandals, the long skirt becomes a perfect ally for sunny days.
