As the weather changes, the best investment piece a woman can have is a versatile skirt. In warmer weather, it keeps the bottom half of your body cool (both temperature and style-wise) then it easily transitions to a smart fall piece when worn with print or solid tights. A few no-nos to keep in mind are not too short (a finger tip test with your hands hanging by your sides is a good length for a min-skirt), no sweat suit skirts, and if you wear a print, make sure it flatters your body. In other words, if you are a bigger bottomed woman, look for a larger print that is proportional to the surface area it covers.
Duex FM’s Indigo skirt captures two major trends transitioning wardrobes into the fall and winter: a high waist and pencil shape. This 98% organic cotton skirt has a bit of spandex (2%) for added clutch and comfort, and makes every woman’s waist into the perfect hourglass shape.
A tulip skirt, like this one by Emily Katz, is a great way to dramatically play up volume on the bottom while streamlining the top. Pair this organic cotton version with a tube top or body hugging tank to rock the proportions just right.
Instead of slacks for a Sunday picnic, why not go with a skirt?! Ibex has created a 100% organic one that anchors most any top you can think to pair it with. So, get as creative and loud as you want with an unexpected blouse pairing and some funky jewelry.
Instead of a dress for your next cocktail party, find yourself the perfect skirt in a metallic color, like this bamboo blended Christin Michaels piece. Whether yours is in a shiny silver or perhaps a more subtle gunmetal color, the light will catch the separate just right and voila! A modern look that is yours and yours alone.
As far as comfort goes, you’d be hard pressed to beat this 100% organic cotton striped skirt by Pi. The wide elastic waist band cinches the otherwise loose fitting garment and should be worn at the navel or just a bit above for optimum style and fit.
