Long skirts

Just a few decades ago, appearing in public in a short skirt, you were doomed to become the center of universal attention - it was so extravagant and bold. Today, the situation has fundamentally changed, and the miniskirt has become a familiar phenomenon, which is hard to surprise anyone. And the long skirts that existed on the periphery of fashion for many years, now, on the contrary, are at the peak of popularity.

Long skirts are so different! They have an incredibly rich history, so there are dozens of styles of maxi skirts: from laconic, loose silhouettes to lush, "sophisticated models." Look, for example, how a strict pencil skirt and a flirty year-old skirt are unlike each other.

The undoubted advantage of long skirts is that they suit women of all ages and complexions. A long skirt is the best alternative to trousers. It perfectly hides the problem areas of the lower half of the body and allows you to move freely, while remaining feminine and elegant.

Let's look at some of the most interesting and stylish varieties of maxi skirts:

• A-line. A skirt with a small flare from the belt is a simple but effective model; loose fit, light, thin fabrics - what you need for summer.
• The sun and the sun. Wide, fluffy skirts with lots of pleats.In expanded form, they represent a circle or a semicircle, respectively.
• Pencil. A very narrow, tight-fitting figure skirt, not every girl decides to wear it. However, if you are not afraid to emphasize the hips - go for it, because such a model looks simply amazing.
• Year. The famous skirt with a mermaid silhouette, which is created by a wide frill on the hem. The upper part of the skirt slips over the hips. This style is suitable only for fairly tall girls.

Since floor skirts are very popular today, a huge variety of various models is presented in shops and fashion catalogs. Among such a wealth of choice, you are sure to find a suitable option. In the summer, the coloring of the skirt comes to the fore, so models of incredibly beautiful, bright, saturated colors appear in the clothing collections. Don't like solid colors?

But not just the color of the skirt matters. Pay attention to unusual cut models. It can be wrap skirts, skirts made of many wedges, pleated skirts or layered skirts.

Depending on the material used to sew the product, long skirts can retain heat or, conversely, give coolness. Therefore, for each weather season, you should choose a suitable maxi skirt.

In winter, the most important thing is not to let yourself freeze. In most regions of our country, the climate is very mild, so for several months we have to warm ourselves, often sacrificing beauty. Woolen trousers, sweatpants, warm jeans for a while replace your favorite dresses and skirts. But you really want to feel like a girl even in the winter season!

Here, long skirts made of dense, “winter” fabrics - wool, drap, cashmere, tweed, as well as synthetic materials with the addition of natural wool fibers, for example, angora, can come to the rescue.

Spring is a transitional period when warm things that are boring for a long winter gradually give way to lighter and more elegant outfits. With the onset of warmth, girls are in a hurry to get out of the wardrobes short skirts and dresses, which not only the fashionistas themselves, but also representatives of the male half of humanity managed to miss.

However, not always the weather in spring allows you to flaunt open legs. Therefore, maxi skirts should not be discounted. Spring patterns are sewn from less dense fabrics, such as knitwear or denim. In addition, the color scheme of spring clothes is more vibrant and diverse.

In summer, long skirts look no less impressive than bold mini. Perhaps the point is to use beautiful, airy fabrics, or maybe the unusual, rich colors of the outfits. One way or another, but the maxi skirt is one of the main trends of the last few summer seasons.

Summer models sew from thin, mainly natural fabrics - cotton, linen, chiffon, viscose, lace, etc. Materials of natural origin absorb moisture well and cool the body in the heat.

When autumn comes, you have to give up light things, because the season of rains and piercing winds comes. Long skirts of warm, joyful colors will help to prolong the feeling of summer. In the fall, in no case should you deny yourself bright colors: feel free to get maxi saturated shades in your wardrobe: orange, yellow, green, blue. Pay attention to slightly muffled, but deep tones: wine, ocher, mustard, etc.

Color is a very effective tool for fashion and style. The color of the outfit greatly affects the perception of your image, so it is important to learn how to take all possible advantages out of it. The choice of color of clothes depends not only on current trends, but also on the format of the event that you plan to attend and on the type of your appearance. Consider the most popular and interesting color schemes for maxi skirts.

A long black skirt is a rather specific thing. She can cause the most controversial associations: from mourning vestments to formal evening attire. One thing is absolutely certain: the abundance of black makes the image overly gloomy. Therefore, a black skirt should be combined with clothes of a different color. It can be light or bright shades. The classic combination of “white top, black” bottom is suitable for formal occasions or for a ceremonial publication.

The long white skirt, which favorably emphasizes the figure, looks simply amazing. Even if you have to wash it after each exit - the beauty is definitely worth it. White models usually belong to summer collections of clothes. They go well with open tops, allowing you to demonstrate tanned shoulders and arms.

The skirt in the red floor is a very bold, but also a very good solution. In this outfit, you will surely find yourself in the spotlight, so you can choose it for the most important events in your life. Depending on the color and material of the product, a red long skirt can look completely different.

For example, a narrow skirt made of silk or velvet in rich red is the choice for the most solemn moments. A wide muted skirt made of matte, dense fabric can become an element of an office outfit. Flying skirts made of thin fabrics of bright colors are an informal outfit for warm summer days.

Blue color is the most restrained and calm of all of the above. Although it does not apply to neutral colors, blue has a calming and soothing effect. Blue color is preferred by confident people who are able to think sensibly and make informed decisions.

However, the ability to influence one’s state of mind is far from the only advantage of blue clothing. In addition, blue is one of the most relevant colors of the new fashion season. It has many beautiful shades - from sky blue to blue-black. A blue long skirt will definitely become one of the favorite basic things in your wardrobe.

Green has returned to fashion after several years of oblivion. This time, the bright shades of green gave way to muted, deep tones. Green maxi skirts of saturated colors were at the peak of popularity in the last fashion season, but now they are not going to give up their positions.

To stand out from the crowd, pay attention to things of rare shades, unusual cut or texture. Take a look at models with contrasting or transparent inserts, skirts with drapery or asymmetrical hem. You can combine green color not only with white and black, but also with other bright shades, for example, with purple, red, pink, blue or yellow.

Long skirts have remained popular for several years in a row, and in the coming season fashion couturiers have not offered us anything fundamentally new. The pleating, free silhouettes, bright shades, floral ornaments remain relevant.

The composition of things with which the maxi skirt will be combined has slightly changed. Now these are clothes of completely different styles - from classics to sports. Long romantic skirts are worn with short tops, sweatshirts, sneakers, jackets, sweatshirts and other clothes that, it would seem, do not fit here at all. However, combinations, oddly enough, are quite harmonious and, of course, original.

• When choosing a long skirt, try on it along with the shoes with which you plan to wear. Maxi skirts look good with both high-heeled shoes and completely flat soles. However, the length of the skirt for each of these options should be different.
• Chubby girls should give preference to models with a minimum number of folds. Lush skirts will only make the lower body heavier, and free, flying silhouettes, on the contrary, create a feeling of lightness and weightlessness.
• When choosing the top of a set with a long skirt, you need to follow one important rule: the larger the skirt, the narrower the top should be, and vice versa. With voluminous skirts, a tight-fitting top looks good, and with narrow ones - more loose.

Long skirts suit ladies of different complexions, but for miniature women there is a risk that the maxi length will make them even lower. Therefore, girls-inches should remember several basic rules for choosing long skirts:

• Do not buy models with a horizontal pattern;
• the distance from the edge of the skirt to the floor should be a centimeter and a half;
• the skirt should be exactly right for you;
• a skirt on a yoke or on a high waist visually will make you a few centimeters taller;
• Wear long skirts with high-heeled shoes or platform shoes.

Long skirts are a wardrobe item that can be combined with a huge number of things. Do not limit your imagination to simple T-shirts and tops: models on the catwalks have long demonstrated the most incredible, but harmonious combinations of things.

Denim shirt? Sports jacket with a hood? Warm vest? Why not! A maxi skirt can be a great pair for each of these things. The harmony of the image is made up of little things, so be sure to support the combination with suitable accessories in style.
