Universal options that go to everyone are the sun and half-sun, tulip and bell. With such a cut, feminine delicate skirts are obtained, easily fitting into any image. They go well with different options for the base top.

Options with a shuttlecock and different waist heights are chosen depending on the problem areas of the girl and the intention to hide them. So, an outstanding tummy can be hidden with a skirt with a high waist, and the unevenness of the legs - with a voluminous flounc.

The silhouettes of the bottom for the basic wardrobe are as follows:

  • straight. The product has about the same width in the hips and bottom. It's a universal silhouette.
  • conical. This includes all both narrowed down and extended models. The first option is perfect for fat girls. And, on the contrary, flared skirts will visually increase the hips and make the figure of a thin fashionista more balanced.

By material

Modern seamstresses conditionally divide all the materials chosen for skirts into:

  • dense and warm - gabardine, corduroy, tweed, denim;
  • medium - cotton, velvet, costume fabric, satin, knitwear;
  • light - silk, tulle, linen.

It is the materials that belong to the "average" that are best suited for basic skirts. The exception is velvet. From it, choose only short flared products of dark colors. Of the dense options, the leader is denim. And from the lungs - flax. Corduroy, silk, tatin, tweed and gabardine are best left for exceptional occasions rather than everyday wear.

Competently selected basic skirts in the wardrobe are an important component of a stylish image. It remains only to complement them with a top in mood and season, extract a couple of stylish accessories from their stocks, and a win-win spectacular image is ready.
