Skirts and Shorts for Women

Trapeze, straight, smocked: skirt styles

The cut is first chosen based on the hips. The trapeze skirt, also known as A-line, flares from the waist and drapes over the hips without clinging: the light denim midi skirt from COMMA is an example, made of cotton canvas. The straight skirt, like the one from Kariban Premium, falls straight down and stops at the knee, the classic office length; a back slit allows for movement. The smocked skirt, like the Only Annika, has a gathered waistband made of elastic threads sewn in tight rows, which adjusts without buttons or zips and accommodates shifts in shape. The KAFFE Naya and Kalissi skirts focus on fluidity and movement.

Short, midi or long: choosing your length

The length changes the look even more than the cut. The short skirt, like the b.young Joella in mini version, shows off the legs and suits those who like to display their knees. The midi, which stops between the knee and the ankle, is the most versatile: the same Joella is available in this length, and it works well for both a workday and a night out. The long or maxi skirt brushes the ankle: the one from Cupshe, flowing and lightweight, is perfect for summer by the water. A simple guide for petite sizes: a skirt that stops just below the knee or at the slimmest part of the calf lengthens the silhouette, while a hem placed mid-calf shortens it.

High-waisted shorts, in twill or Bermuda

The high-waisted shorts rise to the level of the navel, accentuate the waist and visually elongate the legs: the Ragwear Heeven, the Guess Kirsten and the KAFFE Curve Nana, designed for generous sizes, feature this cut. The twill shorts from Colorful Standard, woven diagonally from organic cotton, denser than a plain fabric, hold their shape and age well. The Bermuda, which falls just above the knee, offers more coverage: the Payper Combat, with patch pockets styled like a cargo, presents a utility version. Shorts and skirts can be washed at thirty degrees, turned inside out, and flowing materials should be hung to dry to avoid ironing.

Frequently asked questions

What is a skort?

It's a pair of shorts whose front, and sometimes the back, is covered with a panel of fabric that gives it the look of a skirt. It allows full freedom for sitting, cycling or walking in strong winds, without sacrificing the silhouette of a skirt.

Which skirt for size 46 or larger?

Trapeze and wrap cuts, in flowing materials, follow the shape without clinging. Plus-size lines like KAFFE Curve are constructed on patterns tailored to be wider at the hips and waist.

Is an elastic waistband comfortable all day?

A wide elastic waistband doesn't dig into the waist and adapts to the day's fluctuations, whether sitting or standing. It avoids buttons and zips, making getting dressed easier, but it can loosen if the skirt is washed too hot.

Should I prefer a low cut on the hips?

The low cut, sitting on the hips, suits long busts and slender silhouettes. It does leave the lower back exposed when bending, while the high waist holds the stomach in and lengthens the leg.

How to stop a skirt riding up while walking?

A skirt rides up when it is too tight at the hips or made from a material that clings to the skin. Choosing a size up, a slippery lining, or a trapeze cut, which is more voluminous at the bottom, solves the issue.
