Fashion Do's of Plus Size Skirts


DO skirts for summer... Show off your curves in plus sized skirts this season! Forget about wearing jeans and heavy clothing all summer. Whether you’re going to a party or a cookout, a cute full figure sized skirt can help you steal the show. We recommend One Stop Plus for this item.


DO choose the right length skirt, depending on your body shape. Just like any other apparel item, the cut of your shirt can make or break your look. If you’re broader in the shoulder area, choose an a-line skirt to help you look more proportionate. If you have an hour glass shape, you may want to choose a pencil skirt with a slight flair at the bottom. It will help emphasize your curves, while providing a slightly slimming effect. We recommend Woman Within for this item.


DO wear causual skirts... Think about the occasion when you choose your clothing, including your skirt. If you’re hanging out with pals or planning to picnic at the park, you can do so comfortably in a peasant skirt or gypsy knit skirt. You can also try flowing floral printed skirts for a comfortable summer style. Wear these styles with flip flops or sandals and pair them with a white tank for a crisp summer look! We recommend Lane Bryant for this item.


DO try unique, colorful, exciting styles... Experiment with colors instead of sticking with all black on the bottom. Red can be quite sexy and elegant for evening events. Consider skirts with an asymmetrical hem if you want to spice things up in a trendy way. We recommend Coldwater Creek for this item.


DO own a tweed "power" skirt... Forgo the “man suit” during your next business meeting and opt for a more feminine look. A tweed knee length skirt means business, while still allowing you to express your beauty and femininity. Remember, you can be powerful…in a skirt! We recommend Jessica London for this item.


Fashion Don'ts of Plus Size Skirts


DON'T overdo the mini skirt.. Don't even consider wearing a mini skirt, unless you’re under the age of 35. While you may think that fashion rule is prejudice against age, it’s the bold truth. Mini skirts look most flattering on women who are petite in height, however they are almost never appropriate for anything other than a fun night dancing out at a club.


DON’T forget about tea length... Many woman automatically choose a skirt that is either long or short. However, the tea length option is very flattering on most body types. Those who have heavier thigh areas, but like their calfs can have the best of both worlds with this cut of skirt.


DON'T forget that skirts should skim your body, not hug it. In addition, they should not swallow your body in a way that disallows anyone to notice your shape. The perfect skirt highlights your waist and falls freely, allowing for the most flattering look!
