Style Tip 08. The lovely long skirt

It's understandable why some women choose not to wear short or mid length skirts.

Not all of us have the confidence or, lets face it, the legs to carry it off.

And many women simply feel that it's not appropriate for them.

However, there is no reason for any woman not to wear a lovely long skirt.

A long skirt looks stylish and elegant on women of all shapes and sizes.

But take care to buy the right skirt for your figure.

Floor skimming skirts tend to suit everyone, whereas styles that are narrow all they way down should usually be avoided.

You want the material to hug your hips and then flare out towards the bottom.

And remember the golden rule of proportion - if you have width on the bottom go slim on top.

So combine your long, flowing skirt with a fitted t-shirt, blouse or seater.
