Uneven hem and asymmetric hem skirts


These skirts come in different shapes and are wonderful for a variety of figures. The hem moves and swishes rhythmically at different levels with a woman's gait, thus distracting from any body flaws at the hip, thigh or leg.

The bias- checkered skirt with different hem lengths on both sides is great for tall or medium curvy figures, as it skims the hips. It will also flatter thin legs. The blue Christopher Kane frilly skirt is great for tall and slim as well as petite figures. Both of them are good for day wear and casual outings. The red skirt by Y3 is ideal for pear shaped figures of all heights, and can be worn for casual or formal occasions. They are shown below.

The mustard Oscar de la Renta long skirt is great for thin, slim or curvy figures with a good height because it hugs the hip and then spreads out in dramatic volume, a perfect number for a theatrical entrance at a party. Below right.

The shape of the Chloe handkerchief hem skirt is beautiful for tall, full-figured women, because the hem distracts from a heavy figure, and is shown here on the left below.

A variety of shoes work with the asymmetrical hem, and these can all be seen in the pictures here. For fall, these skirts would look hip with knee-length boots as well.

Pencil Skirts Trend with knee-length skirts

Pencil Skirts

These knee-length skirts are fitted to the body from the waist to slightly above the knee, usually in stretchy fabrics or with a slit at the back. They are for you only if you are skinny or slim, because they curve in at the hip, emphasizing the hips and the derriere. The black leather Roberto Cavalli skirt is a classic pencil skirt that could be worn to formal occasions for sensual elegance. Great for a svelte figure.

You can wear the high-waisted white Danielle Scutt if you want to show off the curve of your hips, and shorten your torso. To gently play the hips down a little, you would need a shape like that of the golden hipster pencil skirt from Blumarine which is perfect for a smaller frame with a short torso.

The woolen black pencil skirt teamed with the jacket is perfect for office wear, especially for thin women. Though the pencil is commonly worn plain, you can also wear embroidered versions like the charming 6267 pencil skirt flared at the knee. This would look especially good on you if you are trying to distract attention from a long torso or small bust, because the entire attention will be focused on your lower body. Pencil skirts usually look nicer with close-toed heeled shoes including patent leather point shoes. As can be seen from the pictures, a little strap detail at the ankle is flattering as well. These skirts usually do not look nice with boots.

Armani suit the best

Armani suits are always among the best. Armani understands how to use lines to create illusions and to make the body appear elegant, classy and professional.
woman suit


This suit is not what you'd commonly think of as an Armani, however. This is a light pink two-piece skirt. The material is a delicate crepe. There are frills and trills to this baby. It's so feminine and pretty. This is a suit for a woman who wants to feel - and look - like a woman in a corporate world that, unfortunately, is still dominated by men. credit:lifeinitaly


Blumarine with rock n' roll feeling

woman suit Blumarine brings us this yellow suit. It's got a very rock n' roll feel. It's a suit that's not very corporate looking. The skirt is mini; the jacket is buttoned all the way down like denim. There are pockets on each breast of this gabardine jacket. The stitch detailing is fantastic. It's unlined and has belt loops to give it an all-over casual, denim feel. Wear this on the town with friends or to a night club if you're meeting and greeting in the entertainment industry. This is not your lawyer's suit; but, one you could totally rock while looking oh-so-hot!

Many times when you think of a pin-striped suit, you think of shady dealings and unsavory characters.

Cavalli tuxedo-inspired pant suit - look good!!!

A suit is professional. It's classy. It's elegant. A suit screams power, competence and ambition. In recent years, the corporate world has moved a bit away from the traditional business suit. Things have gotten a little bit more casual in many places. However, you still can't beat a suit for an interview or a major meeting with a client.

Cavalli tuxedo-inspired pant suit. The black pants suit and jacket has shimmery, Crepe-de-Chine satin accents that give the tuxedo effect. You can wear this piece dressed up for a gala night-time event of dressed down a bit for the daytime when you have to meet with important clients or ask your boss for that new raise!

The pants are boot-cut and can accommodate a variety of types of footwear. They also give a slimming effect to thicker ankles or calves. The pants are low waisted and comfortable. The blazer goes in on the waist and out at the hips to give that hour-glass effect to any woman's figure. Tweed is great for fall and winter wear. It's warm and comfortable. It's also very professional-looking.

Triangula Fabric Skirt-Not to wear skirts with flats

Sometimes triangular fabric pieces are added to make the flares dance as you walk like in this dark grey skirt with neat black detailing. This distracts from heavy hips. Great choice for a full-figured woman, and good for wearing at office.

The A-line could also be paneled, slimming the hips in the process as in the cream and black printed skirt here. This is great for a pear-shaped figure. An a-line could also be made in a heavier, stiffer fabric with pleats, like the plain cream skirt by Ellie Tahari, shown on the right, which is ideal for a thin or petite figure.

Depending on the choice of fabric, these skirts can be casual or formal enough for office wear. Close-toed shoes with pointy heels, strappy heeled sandals, ankle boots and wedge heels all work marvelously with these skirts. It is best not to wear these skirts with flats. credit:lifeinitaly.com
