A trapeze skirt began to gain its popularity in the early 50s of the last century, becoming a novelty of collections. Having won the love of women and fashion designers very quickly, by the end of the decade, A-shaped skirts had “registered” on the catwalks, becoming an integral part of the wardrobe of all fashionistas of that time.

In summer, light thin textures are popular, most often natural ones - chintz, linen, silk; in winter - comfortable and warm, for example, knitwear, wool, denim, etc.
Who is it for?
A-line skirt, or A-line, is one of the most popular models among all skirts. The reason for this success can be called her style - it goes to almost all women, regardless of the type of figure and occupation. In different interpretations, such a skirt can be worn by both slim women and owners of magnificent forms.

Does it fit complete?

In the “inverted triangle” figure, when wearing the A-model, the disproportionality of the figure disappears, the upper part is aligned with the lower one, thus in the mirror we see only regular body shapes.
