Skirts
Skirts can change styles with the seasons and particular colours, patterns and prints may be in vogue or may not. The fabrics used may favour a certain look and be appropriate for the season and they can be ornamented with appliqué, lace, leather, embroidery, organza flowers, beads or ribbons. Trims on pockets or hemlines might be accented with sequins, studs, satin piping or feathers. There really is a whole host of things that can be done to a skirt that make it in fashion or out of fashion.
What doesn’t really change is the range of skirt shapes that are popularly available. Straight skirts with vents or kick pleats to allow greater freedom of movement will always be straight. Pencil skirts will always narrow at the bottom hem and A-line skirts will always gently flare from the hips into its distinctive shape. Flared skirts will skim hips and with fabric cut on the bias or by using cleverly cut panels it will flare out at the hemline.
You know the style that suits you best, flatters your figure and meets your needs so it makes sense to stick with what works and have a couple of plain skirts in your wardrobe that are timeless classics that can form part of a capsule casual wardrobe with T-shirts, polo shirts and vests that will be appropriate for any leisure situation.
