You
may be one of the women out there who believe that there are some
summer skirts
you simply cannot wear—well think again. Sometimes the thought
of too much bare skin makes you want to hide under baggy clothes. We
do not think so.
Here are 5 looks in summer skirts you can wear confidently all summer
long—surprise yourself!
1) Flirty summer skirts:
Shorts and t-shirts may be the way you are used to beating the heat,
but try some of the new flirty summer skirts out there! Do not be worried
about wearing summer skirts: the best summer skirts are cute and surprisingly
attractive. These summer skirts are forgiving, despite the “flaws”
we all have—which is not something that happens in fashion very
often, so take advantage of the opportunity!
The best summer skirts are flared, knee-length silhouette summer skirts.
Using any fabric with a soft hand like washed linen, rayon or cotton.
Gentle tiers, or a fuller silhouette gently coming out from the hips
are great summer skirts for most women.
Solids and prints are both great in summer skirts. When considering
your summer skirts, remember asymmetrical hems are a great camouflage
for bottom-heavy figures—pleats and flounces will give you curves
below the waist if you do not have them.
2) Floral summer skirts:
Try floral summer skirts this season as an accent. One way to do this
is to pin a large flower onto your summer skirts when you wear them
as an accent piece. You can even wear a matching flower in your hair!
Florals are popular—let us face it. Everything from shoes to handbags
will be covered with flowers this season, not only your summer skirts—so
add a bud that way.
If a floral printed summer skirt intrigues you, but you just ca not
decide, remember to keep prints in proportion to your shape. Here is
the rule of thumb for this summer skirts tip: Women with larger frames
look best in wider spaced, bigger blooms, and smaller, petite women
can carry off allover, tiny floral prints on their summer skirts.
3) Tank tops with your summer skirts:
Many women keep their arms covered all season, thinking tank tops are
too skimpy, but the latest trend of layering tank tops gets rid of that.
Just pick two complementary colors and wear them both. These along with
your summer skirts will be a hit. With some tanks you can even go braless
because they have built-in bras; many manufacturers make camis with
built-in bras as well.
4) Lingerie-inspired apparel with your summer skirts:
Summer style often brings out the underwear look with slip-style dresses,
bra-inspired tops and pajama-type drawstring bottoms. But you can try
this look in moderation.
Pretty lace trims on tops and drawstring bottoms on your summer skirts
are often very complimentary.
Merely reference lingerie—this is better than looking like you
are walking around in your slip. Think lace trims, sultry satin pieces.
And if you do want to go daring with the tops you wear with summer skirts—sculptured
corset tops are the sexiest look.
5) Bright prints with your summer skirts:
Nothing says, “it is summertime!” better than bright colors—so
look for bright summer skirts.
However, many bright colors can be hard to wear close to the face unless
they really set off your coloring. Find out if a color works by holding
it up to your face. Trial and error is your best method. But bright
summer skirts can easily be worn with black, white or some other neutral
colored top.
In my opinion, the most stunning look to absorb some of the impact
of strong color is to pair it with white—try a white fitted T-shirt
with a hot pink hibiscus pink skirt, for example.
