With the onset of the cold season, you need to think about your own insulation. Even winter and autumn clothes can preserve your femininity, sexuality, and emphasize the strengths of your figure. One of the popular solutions is long, warm skirts.

Length selection

There are several options for skirts in length, which can be an excellent solution for autumn and winter.

• Mini. Not many people choose them, but still fans of short skirts cannot refuse them even during cold weather. In this case, in addition to a skirt made of insulated materials, be sure to wear thermal underwear and tights or leggings underneath. You should not leave your legs bare, otherwise you will greatly risk your health.

• Midi. Medium length, allowing you to find a balance between short and long models.

• Maxi. Long skirts that are wise to buy for the fall-winter period. They will cover the legs, provide them with warmth and prevent them from freezing.

• To the floor The most long models, literally following you. When choosing this model, make sure that the hem will not touch the ground. Otherwise, in the fall and winter, you risk constantly washing your favorite skirt.

Popular models and styles

Pleated and bell

Such models have a slight expansion, which allows you to emphasize the beauty female figure, hide some shortcomings in the form of overly full hips and an unclear waist line. At the same time, they are very comfortable and practical.

Tight styles

They are suitable only for those with a slim, fit figure, as they will highlight it. Use knitted and knitted models as materials for them. Knitted skirts are the ideal solution for very thin beauties. This is because knitting adds volume. Fat girls it is contraindicated.

Multi-level

These styles are created specifically for those with curvy figures. Due to the multi-level cut, the skirt will hide the fullness of the legs and hips, and will somewhat distract from round shapes.

Asymmetrical

Choose asymmetrical styles that have diagonal or abstract prints.

Direct

Straight styles perfectly hide the shortcomings of plump girls. Only the skirt must be made of dark fabric.

Choice for seasons

For summer

Long summer skirt should be light and airy. Therefore, no dense, heavy fabrics. As for color, rich, rich colors are trendy this season. Summer is a period of relaxation, positive emotions and travel. Focus on practicality and comfort;

For autumn/spring

In spring and autumn, nature gives unique colors. You don’t want to look faded against their background. Therefore, designers suggest using lemon, peach, raspberry, cherry paints, and actively using green tones. Only if you use a multi-colored, contrasting top, be sure to wear a plain skirt. Otherwise, the image will turn out incomplete.

For the winter

Winter is not a reason to hide your legs. But still, long models will be much preferable to miniskirts. Don't be afraid to experiment with color, as plain winter allows you to stand out even with skirts made in a subdued palette. Special attention pay attention to the fabric - woolen, quilted, denim skirts can emphasize your attractiveness and at the same time protect you from the cold. Health comes first.

How to choose

Based on the main points of choice, you will be able to replenish your wardrobe with the ideal long skirt.

1. Material. This season, cashmere, merino, alpaca, Genuine Leather, suede and velvet. Although you shouldn’t refuse models made of tweed, wool, corduroy, knitwear, and jeans. Avoid overly thick fabrics, otherwise you won’t be able to look elegant in such a skirt.
2. Comfort level. Here, rely only on your own feelings during fittings. The skirt should not restrict movement or make your steps in the snow incredibly difficult.
3. Style, model. Designers do not limit your choice, offering a wide variety of options. Focus on where you are going to use your long skirt. The most important thing is that the skirt matches your figure.
4. Color. Ordinary black skirts are not relevant this season. We advise you to pay attention to blue, turquoise, purple palettes, shades of gray, green and red. Incredibly popular colors are burgundy and burgundy.

What to wear with

There are several things that, in combination with a maxi skirt, are a complete taboo. Never combine a long skirt with:

• Bustier tops;
• Camisole tops;
• T-shirts with lacing at the waist;
• Long T-shirts that don’t gather at the waist.

And to create a flattering, attractive look using long skirts, listen to a few relevant tips for this season.

1. Use the opposite effect. This means that a full, multi-colored skirt should be combined with a solid, tight-fitting garment. Or vice versa.
2. When choosing a classic-cut skirt, use a bright, original top.
3. Skirts look good with jackets and jackets of different lengths.
4. If you prefer an extravagant style, then try pairing a denim jacket or knitted item with a long light skirt.
5. Wearing a fitted T-shirt, shirt or blouse, a long skirt will come in handy. Experiment with bright details wardrobe to find your perfect look.
6. Avoid using high heels when wearing a long skirt. The rules state that a long bottom must only be combined with a low move. A long skirt with a high heel has the right to life, but only if you choose the top wisely. It should not distract attention from shoes and a long skirt.

So let's get started...

And we'll start by... looking at that HOW TO COMBINE A SKIRT WITH A SWEATER…

Sweater - TO TUCK or NOT to tuck into a skirt...

I specifically found a lot of photo facts on how you can tuck a sweater into a skirt. Here is an example with This season, straight skirts go well with thick sweaters... it could be a voluminous knit sweater " English gum"(gray in the photo below) ... or a plump golf course made of delicate angora (lilac in the photo below).

There is only one rule here - if we want to tuck a sweater under a skirt, then the skirt should be made of fairly thick fabric- so that the tucked edges of the sweater will not be felt through it (the bulges will not puff up).

Like in the photo below - tight skirts and not very thick sweaters. Moreover, the sweater can be tucked into the skirt along the entire circumference of the waist (as in the left photo), but only through the front drawstring of the skirt (as in the right photo).

But if we talk about pencil skirts, then they can be worn in the fall with a sweater straightened on top (as we see in the photo below).

Any straight skirts can easily be worn with a sweater worn over the hem of the skirt.
Even if it's a denim skirt with an asymmetrical torn hem.

Even if it’s a straight wrap skirt (as in the photo below).

As for straight leather pencil skirts, if their length is just below the knee, it will be It’s better if the edge of the sweater is tucked behind the front drawstring of the skirt. This way we will discover a beautiful cut of a leather autumn skirt.

For beauty, it is better to roll up the sleeves of the sweater and turn the shirt cuffs over them. And notice how beautiful a cage or peas look in the fall...

The length of the sweater should be optimal, that is, it should not overlap the hem of the skirt too much. It is best for the sweater to end at the level of the hip bones.

And here sun skirt with midi length I no longer really like it when the edge of a sweater lies on top of the hem. Therefore, a circle skirt with knee length and below should be worn. be sure to tuck the sweater into the edge of the skirt - at least the front edge, BUT TUCK IT IN.

Skirts made of TULIL and LACE

We wear it in the fall.

This fall, fluffy skirts are worn with knee socks and short blouses made of soft angora fabric (they are tucked under the skirt). And on top you can wear a warm coat or even a quilted jacket.
