Mini Straight — Make sure your skirt is at least an inch longer than your cardi. Mini A-Line — Try tall boots, opaque tights, and even socks to send a more subtle message than bare skin and stilettos. Mini Full — Short skirts are all about showing some leg, but as with so many things, less is more. Knee Straight — Knee-length skirts are the most universally flattering and are also extremely office-friendly. Knee A-Line — When choosing your shoes, try a swingy style with ballet flats, or choose lace-up ankle boots for a dose of cool. Knee Full — Spotlight (or fake) a tiny midsection by tucking a shirt into a voluminous skirt. Midi Straight — When the bottom of your midi-length skirt grazes your calves, it's crucial that you highlight your waist to create shape. Midi A-Line — Tuck in your blouse or opt for a top that hits around the midriff. Heels are generally best with a midi length, though not a must. Midi Full — Pair oxfords with a feminine midi for a subversively sexy look. Long Straight — Choose a long, straight skirt with pleats and wear platforms that will elongate your silhouette. Long A-Line — Whatever your height, pay attention to proportion: Balance a flared bottom with a slim-cut top and vice versa. Long Full — Maxi lengths are best on taller figures, but a full skirt shape will flatter even petite types. Prev Next
