Of course miniskirts are sexy and show off your legs, but we can’t ignore their figure flattering and sophisticated cousin the full skirt. There is just something about wearing a full skirt that feels girly, feminine and flirty. Whether the skirt is bounce, flouncy, flowy or structured full skirts are always figure flattering and they are making a huge comeback right now. The cut of the full skirt is timeless; it can be worn with a simple tank top and ballet flats or glammed up with a sequin blazer and sexy heels. During New York fashion week we have seen a surge of these classic skirts on the runway from designers like Pierre Balmain, Tibi and Honor.
For a fabulous full skirt ensemble that is office appropriate we suggest pairing a flowy floral skirt that reaches just below your knees with a white menswear button down shirt and silver accessories. This look is fun and fresh but still has enough structure for the office environment. For a sexy date night outfit we recommend paring a black high waist full skirt with a barlet top that shows just a sliver of your midriff. This look is a vamped up version of a classic silhouette that is sure to have heads turning.
