NO11- THE SKIRT.

There is hardly anything (apart from possibly a good lipstick) that will make you feel as feminine as a skirt. They come in all shapes, textures and colours, and look amazing on any figure. It is up to you just how fitted you want to go, choose something that you are comfortable in and that is flattering on you. When it comes to material you can either choose a classic fabric skirt, or be a bit more daring and choose an alternative look. Leather, if used right, is a great way to make your outfit a bit edgier. Be careful to choose one that doesn't scream sex though, to make sure that you can get a lot of wear out of it. Once you have figured out what material you want to go for and what fit you are most comfortable in, it is time to decide what length you want.


The mini- The more common choice for young adults, but not necessarily the most versatile. If worn right this length can be worn for most occasions, but even though it is now socially acceptable in most places there are still times when it is considered inappropriate. With that being said, some simple play with proportion and juxtaposition can take the sex out of your outfit. A more playful version will give it a quirky look and add character.
This fringy mini is from Zara, £29.99.


The midi- This tends to be considered a more mature length, but it is slowly making a comeback. Looks best when fitted and showing off your curves. Wear it with a revealing top to convey a feel of sophisticated sexy. This length is great for wearing around the clock; with a shirt at the office, then with a slinky cami at night.
This paint-splattered midi is from Proenza Schouler, £815.


The maxi- Once again, it is a total myth that you have to be tall to pull off a maxi-length. With the right style anyone can look gorgeous in one. If you are conscious about your hips and behind a floaty version might be just perfect for you, or if you are conscious about your stomach or bust a fitted maxi might help draw the attention away from your problem areas. The only way to know what suits you best is to start trying them on!
This bias-cut maxi is from Mint Velvet, £79.

 
The skort- If you're not completely comfortable in a skirt it's time to consider a skort. This short/skirt hybrid will give you the sexy look of a mini, as well as not forcing you to pinch your knees together at all times.
This jacquard skort is from New Look, £17.99.
