Flesh tone shoes will further elongate the legs. A-line skirts that are high-waisted help elongate the look of the waist while the slight flare makes the legs look slenderer. Envelope skirts are another great option. Their diagonal cut also helps elongate the look of the legs. Petite framed ladies should avoid midi and maxi skirts, especially if you have short legs. Skirts that reach the ankles can overwhelm. However, this can be overcome with a slit skirt that lets you show some skin.
For an average height lady, knee-length A-Lines are the best option. They offer the perfect balance between skirt and leg. Women with a taller stature should opt for long, flowing dresses — at least knee length but preferably longer. After narrowing down the hemline by height, factor in your body type to reach a final, optimal skirt length. Thin boned figures should avoid long skirts that will overwhelm your look. If you do go with a long skirt, one that fits the hips and thighs will work well.
Your best option is a skirt that falls one or two inches above your knees. You can add layers to your outfit or opt for thicker materials to add bulk. Athletic builds work well with mini skirts that highlight well-toned legs. If your calves are large, a longer fit-and-flare skirt with a hemline that falls just below the knee can make thick calves appear slimmer.
Midi skirts that land at the thick of the calves make them look larger which works well if you have thin calves. Wear hemlines that fall a couple of inches above or below the knee in order to balance the legs.
Your best option is an A-line skirt that is not too full. Ideally, a short skirt should end where your fingertips lie on your thighs when you stand up with your arms straight by your sides. Any shorter and you risk showing just a little too much flesh. Showing some leg can be a good thing though, as it elongates your body.
But be careful wearing shorter skirts in more formal or professional situations. You should also avoid short skirts if you have a fuller midriff. Skirts that fall at, above or just below the knee are versatile and look great on just about any body shape. If you have shorter legs, you can raise your skirt a little above the knee to show more skin and elongate your legs. Mini skirts can be tight and fitted, flared or even very full. Denim mini skirts will always be popular.
Often the term short skirts are used interchangeably with mini skirts. A short skirt is generally considered to end at mid to high thigh. As the name suggests, an above the knee skirt this sits just above the bony part of the knee. These skirts tend to be popular for straight skirts and office wear.
On the knee skirts end at the center of the knee bone. If they are tight, they will either need to be made in a stretch fabric or have a split at the back so you can still walk. On the knee tight and tapered skirts are considered flattering giving you an hourglass figure look. Below the knee skirts offer more coverage and are flattering to many body shapes particularly when worn with heels.
In tighter skirts, a split usually placed at the back, will be needed to ensure freedom of movement. Midi skirts end at mid calf and generally tend to be fuller in design. Straight skirts at this length may have a split in one or both sides. Tea skirts are very similar to midi length and fall inches below the knee.
This term was made popular in the s when this length dress was worn to tea parties. When this term is used, it generally refers to a full or circle shaped skirt and it is commonly used to describe formal styles of skirts and dresses. Maxi skirts finish just above your ankles but there will be some variation depending on your height. It may finish below your ankle or even at the ground. The longer the skirt, the more your height will become a factor in its final length. Full skirts or floor-length skirts finish at the floor and are popular for wedding and formal dresses.
For everyday wear, they can be harder to walk in and risk tripping you up. Of course, not all skirts have even hem lengths.
