Real Women Are Fashionable – Styling For Your Body Shape

Although shopping is high on our list of fun activities, it can prove a headache when you’re not happy with anything you see. Over the last couple of weeks we have focused on styling for individual body shapes including pear, apple, petite, curvy, top-heavy and tubular. We have discussed dresses that suit different shapes, tops that complement each type of figure and finding jeans that suit you. This week, we are concentrating on skirts. With so many styles on the market, it can be difficult to choose a skirt that suits you. With that in mind we have put together an edit of our favourite looks, catering for different shapes. Curvy A pencil skirt creates a feminine silhouette and depending on the fit, it can hug your curves or skim over them for a streamlined look. This lace number from Kimberley Walsh's collection is a statement item (€45). A black top tucked into this skirt will offset it perfectly, we love. Tall This midi length skirt is a longer length, making it the perfect skirt shape for taller ladies. The coral colour is perfect for the spring summer season and will look great when teamed with white. It's a ladylike elegant option, and definitely has a high-fashion edge. For only €29, you really can't go wrong. Pear High waisted skirts cinch in above your tummy, drawing the eye to the smallest part of the waist. This Colleen Rooney metallic number is perfect for nightwear but can also be worn during the day with a simple top and black opaques. Chic yet modern, best of all it's reduced from €45 to €22. What are you waiting for? Apple This Oasis floral pencil skirt is the perfect buy as we are right in the middle of spring summer, and it's even starting to get a little sunny outside. Wear bare legged to emphasise the shapely pins of an apple shape and choose plain court shoes to complement this pretty print. It's priced at €52 and is the perfect office to party skirt. Print Love A pretty print looks great no matter what your shape. This Savoir Confident Curves pencil skirt is a steal at only €29 . Leopard print ticks every style box this season whilst the side panels are ultra flattering. This is a guaranteed sell out!
