There are such outfits that are associated with a feeling of carefree joy, which happens only in childhood. To such things, many fashionistas without hesitation will attribute the skirt-sun. Probably every girl had such a skirt - remember how beautifully she fluttered if she swirled around her axis?

However, it will be a great mistake to believe that a sun skirt is exclusively a children's outfit. Many girls and women remain loyal to this original skirt, which always looks spectacular and stylish.

In this article, we will tell you about the existing varieties of skirts, sun, as well as how and what to wear this piece of clothing.

Who is it for?

Thanks to the special cut and material, the skirt-sun holds its shape perfectly. She does not fit the figure at all, so with her help you can hide the fullness in the hips.

But it should be remembered that this is a three-dimensional model that visually makes the lower part of the body heavier, so it is very important to balance it with the help of a correctly selected top.

Skirts-sun perfectly fit thin girls who lack volume in their hips. With the help of such a skirt, an “inverted triangle” type figure (wide chest and narrow hips) can be made similar to the beloved “hourglass” (luxurious chest and lush hips).

Features

The main feature of the sun skirt is its unusual cut. Traditionally, it was sewn without side seams. To do this, you need to cut an even circle from a piece of fabric, cut a hole for the waist in the center and sew an elastic band into it.

Today there are modifications to the skirt-sun, sewn from several wedges. But even then, when unfolded, the product will have the shape of a circle.

A sun skirt can “sit” not only on an elastic band, but also on a yoke. Such a skirt on a high rise, for example, with a corset belt, looks especially interesting (this, in addition, is a good way to form a waistline).

Summer models

A skirt-sun can be both winter and summer version of the outfit. Summer models are characterized by lighter fabrics and brighter colors.

Skirts from the summer collections are usually made in rich, joyful colors. The prevailing colors are those associated with the sun, warmth, holiday atmosphere - yellow, orange, scarlet, azure, green and other rich shades.

The prints and patterns on the skirts, too, one way or another, are associated with summer images - it can be floral ornaments, patterns with a nautical theme, fruit and berry drawings, images of tropical birds, etc.

High waisted

High-waisted skirts have been particularly popular lately, and they can be expected to remain relevant for several more fashion seasons.

A skirt with a high waist looks very advantageous, due to the fact that it is able to visually adjust the figure.

Due to the high fit of the skirt, the waist looks narrower than it really is. A flared skirt in combination with an accentuated waist makes the proportions of the figure more harmonious.

With a loop

One of the most interesting modifications to the sun skirts is the asymmetrical skirt, elongated at the back. The long hem creates a loop effect, making the skirt look very unusual.

In order for the train to flow beautifully, for sewing such skirts, soft, loose fabrics, for example, chiffon, are chosen. If the material is completely thin, then the skirt is complemented by a tone-on-tone cover made of opaque fabric.

In front, such a skirt can be quite short, coquettishly exposing legs above the knees. The length of the train can vary from a very short "tail" to the hem, falling to the floor. The latter option is usually chosen for the most solemn occasions, for example, for a wedding.

With pockets

Pockets are an element of clothing that performs not so much a practical as a decorative function. First of all, this applies to patch pockets, which are specially made in such a way as to serve as a bright accent.

Overhead pockets add volume to the hips, so slim skirts with narrow hips are usually chosen by skirts with such a bright detail. If this part of your body causes you some doubts, take a look at models with mortise pockets.

Rubber models

The classic skirt-sun is exactly the model with an elastic band. This option is especially convenient for children, since the rubber band allows the child to quickly remove and put on skirts on their own.

However, adult girls will also like this model, since a free elastic band does not create discomfort in the waist area (so you can not be afraid to recover for a few kilograms).

If you are fond of needlework, then sewing a sun skirt on an elastic band will not be difficult for you, since the pattern of such a product is very simple.

Pleated

Large pleats are the most recognizable feature of sun skirts. Thanks to the folds, the product is voluminous and holds its shape well. At the same time, sun skirts sewn from different types of fabrics look completely different.

Thin materials provide small, soft, flowing folds. From denser tissues, stiff, volumetric waves are obtained. If you put the skirt on the yoke, then the folds will be more rigid, but if you choose an elastic band instead of a high belt, the folds will be smaller and softer.

Fabrics

So, the appearance and quality characteristics of the skirt-sun will largely depend on the type of fabric. In order for the skirt to maintain its original shape, the fabric must be sufficiently dense.Consider several materials that seem to us the most suitable for a skirt-sun.

From tulle

This fabric is well known to those who are associated with the world of ballet, because it is from it that tutus for ballerinas are sewn. Tulle is a translucent mesh material on a polyester basis. It is quite rigid, so it retains its shape well and does not deform.

If you want to sew a tutu skirt in the shape of the sun, then you will need several layers of tulle. The skirt will turn out to be very voluminous and airy - it will look incredibly impressive.

Denim

An interesting casual style is a denim half-skirt. This material is ideal for creating such a skirt, because it is quite dense, but at the same time elastic. Denim skirts can be worn at any time of the year. They blend perfectly with any top, whether it be a warm sweater or a light top.

Leather

Leather things always attract attention, so not every girl dares to put on a leather skirt. True, a romantic skirt-sun does not look so bold as a fitted mini, so even those who are afraid of daring experiments can try on this option. To create a softer, more delicate look, choose models from light skin tones.

Crocheted

Those who know how to handle crochet and yarn can knit a sun skirt with their own hands. Openwork models look very beautiful and unusual. In addition, a self-created skirt will certainly be one of a kind. So that a knitted skirt-sun does not look too heavy, choose thin threads and loose patterns.

Popular colors

The harmony of the image largely depends on the color scheme of the outfit: it is important that all its elements blend well with each other. Every new season, certain specific shades fall into favor, but you need to consider not only fashion trends, but also whether this color is right for you.

Black

A black skirt is an eternal classic that always remains relevant. A black skirt-sun will be appropriate in a variety of situations: in the office, at school, in the theater, in a restaurant or at an informal party.

The advantage of black color is that it looks great paired with any color, so the choice of top and accessories for a black skirt-sun will never be a problem for you.

Whites

White color is perceived by many as the absolute antipode of black. It is associated with purity and tenderness, therefore it is especially popular among very young, romantic young ladies.

A fluffy skirt-sun of white color will make you look like a fragile ballerina or princess from a fairy tale. In terms of color compatibility, white is as good as black, so you can safely experiment in finding the most winning combination.

Reds

The girl on whom the red full skirt is put on simply cannot but attract everyone's attention. If you like to attract admiring glances, be sure to look at the red skirts.

The palette of shades of red is very diverse, so you can choose what you prefer - deep burgundy or delicate coral. The upper part of the ensemble may be a thing in monochrome or, conversely, a colorful, bright top.

Blue

The blue color in most of us causes a feeling of calm and tranquility. It is associated with celestial azure and the deep sea. Nature itself tells us the most beautiful color combinations with the participation of blue.

See how these color pairs look harmoniously: blue with white, blue with green, blue with yellow, blue with turquoise. A blue skirt-sun can be, including a denim.

Green

Green color remains one of the most popular for several fashion seasons. Designers rediscover shades of green for us one after another: emerald, olive, pistachio, apple green, coniferous, turquoise, etc.

A green skirt-sun looks very impressive even in combination with the most concise top, for example, with a white shirt or with a black turtleneck.

Length

In skirts and clothing catalogs, sun skirts of various lengths are available - from extreme mini to modest maxi. And if the desired model does not meet, you can always find a suitable pattern and sew the skirt yourself or order in a fashionable atelier.

Long to the floor

A long skirt is a great tool to create a sophisticated, feminine look. Such models are especially good for the summer.

A skirt-sun in the floor of a thin, flowing fabric looks very beautiful, especially if an expressive color scheme consisting of rich, rich shades is chosen. Multilayer models resembling gypsy skirts look more extravagant.

Midi

Midi is considered the classic length for a sun skirt. It was in such an embodiment that this model gained popularity. The average length is good in that it suits almost all girls, regardless of complexion. A flared skirt to the knee is combined with any shoe - from flat ballet flats to high heeled boots.

Short

A mini skirt is a favorite item of clothing for many girls. Few women deny themselves the pleasure at least a few times a year to flaunt open legs.

Short sun skirts are usually very voluminous, they visually make the hips heavier, so this model must be handled with extreme care.

What to wear?

The sun skirt looks very interesting in itself, so the problem of choosing the top for her is solved very easily. It can be a simple T-shirt or T-shirt, a strict shirt or a smart blouse. The sun skirt with a denim shirt or with a vest looks stylish.

In the cool season, such a skirt can be worn with a shortened jacket, cardigan or fitted sweater. A denim or a leather jacket stylized as a leather jacket will also be in place.

The choice of accessories and jewelry is up to you - depending on the desired image. It can be leather straps, bright scarves, sunglasses, bags, stylish jewelry.

Footwear

The sun is a style that looks great with shoes in a variety of styles. A sun skirt with classic shoes or elegant high-heeled sandals is probably the most harmonious combination.

However, the combination of such a skirt with cowboy-style boots, sports sneakers or high "military" lace-up boots looks no less interesting.

Flat shoes are also not contraindicated here, so feel free to wear a sun skirt with ballet shoes, sandals or moccasins.
