Since the Middle Ages, every self-respecting fashionista has a multi-tiered skirt in her wardrobe. True, these days the style and length of some models have changed significantly, but, nevertheless, such skirts always remain in trend.
A bit of history
They appeared in the everyday life of Spanish women in the 16th century, and then very quickly spread throughout Europe, and then around the world. Moreover, at first they were worn not only by women, but also by men. But, apparently, the latter could not stand the competition with the weaker sex in the struggle for such an exquisite element of clothing.
The first multi-layered skirts were stuffed with horsehair, but because of the heaviness in them it was difficult to move. Then, to give splendor, they began to use a larger number of layers, which sometimes reached up to 10. The topmost layer was made of lace or silk, decorated with embroidery.
In the future, for a more comfortable wearing, instead of a large number of layers, a whalebone, which kept its shape and had a small weight, was used.
What is sewn from?
Nowadays, a huge variety of models made of various materials has appeared. Skirts made of tulle are very popular. The texture of the fabric is able to give the image lightness and airiness, and pastel colors will give the model tenderness and grace.
Flying skirts made of cotton and linen are very pleasant to the touch, they are comfortable in the hot season, they do not constrain movements. A variety of ruffles and ruffles can serve as decoration of such skirts.
Knitted skirts are also in demand, and for good reason. Angora and wool patterns can be decorated with voluminous patterns; it is difficult to freeze in them in the cold season. And in the spring and summer crocheted openwork products add to the image of coquetry and playfulness.
How long are they?
Multilayer skirts vary in style and length.
Maxi
They are suitable for all women, regardless of the type of figure and complexion, add femininity and elegance. It is important not to make a mistake with the style and color.
Owners of full hips should avoid wide layers and uniformity. It is better to choose bright shades with different widths of tiers. This will hide the imperfections of the figure, and focus on the contrast of colors.
Midi
A knee-length skirt is perhaps the most versatile length. Previously, such a length was considered quite boring, but modern fashionistas have proved the opposite.
A multi-layered skirt with a high waist will ideally hide all the flaws of an “inverted triangle” type figure and highlight the proportions of the silhouette, making the thin waistline visually even slimmer. A fluffy skirt will add the required volume to narrow hips.
Mini
It is difficult to argue with the fact that among all models of skirts the first place in sexuality is occupied by a miniskirt. With the help of the style of the skirt, you can visually lengthen and make the already beautiful legs more slim. And thanks to the layering, when a shorter layer is applied to the lower layer, you can look very extravagant.
But in order not to appear silly in a mini, you need to follow simple rules:
- Rule 1 Mini can only be worn by girls with slim legs. Unfortunately, the owners of O- or X-shaped legs are better off looking at light flying skirts of maximum length, which sometimes look much better than mini skirts.
- Rule 2 If you go to a place where you may have to bend over, you should not wear a mini dress, so as not to please the men around you with a demonstration of your underwear. In this case, it is better to do with short shorts.
- Rule 3 If you decide to wear a miniskirt, then you should not wear too deep a neckline, otherwise the number of open areas of the body in this case will go beyond all acceptable decency.
How to wear multi-tiered skirts to overweight women?
Full girls should avoid the static in the design of skirts, the ideal option would be the alternation of narrow and wide tiers. You can also use a variety of symmetrical patterns on some tiers, this will give playfulness and will not focus on the flaws of the figure.
Particular attention should be paid to the yoke - on wide hips it is important. In no case can you end it at the widest point - this will visually add a few centimeters in the circumference of the hips. It is better to choose a border slightly higher, then the width of the hips will “eat” the contrast of the layers.
What to wear?
Wearing a skirt on the floor is best with a blouse, top or jacket. From jewelry, massive jewelry, wide bracelets are perfect. You can also play with accessories - for example, use a scarf made of light fabric. On his feet - shoes without heels, for example, ballet shoes or classic boats.
A multi-tiered midi will look elegant and feminine with high-heeled shoes. For the top, a top or a thin turtleneck will work well. This will emphasize the waist. It will be possible to supplement the image with a jacket or a fur vest, but the latter is better to wear if the skirt is not very voluminous.
When wearing a multi-layer mini, you should adhere to minimalism in the whole image - from makeup to accessories. For the top, a top of a free cut, or a blouse with ruffles and frills, is perfect. Sandals or sandals will look great on your feet.
Using a multi-tiered skirt in your wardrobe, you can always look stylish, bright, modern and elegant regardless of the weather and the surrounding environment.
