What is an a-line skirt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The a-line skirt is a structured skirt that’s fitted at the waist and flares out, so that it hangs in the shape of a \u201cA.\u201d A-line skirts got their name from fashion designer Christian Dior in 1955. Though popular in the ’60s and ’70s, the A-line soon disappeared from the fashion scene. Sadly, trendy girls labeled the A-line skirt as dated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

But the collective fashion sense came to its sense and A-line skirts were revived in the early 2000s. They have been popular ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, fashion girls love the A-line for it\u2019s classy retro vibe and also the versatility \u2014 this is a piece that can be dressed up or down to suit the mood and occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to wear the a-line skirt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A-line skirts are a great staple for every wardrobe<\/a>. They are almost universally flattering \u2014 curvy girls and straight-shaped ladies tend to love their shape in an A-line. That\u2019s because this silhouette accentuates your waist and hangs with just the right amount of hip fullness. A structured A-line either softens the appearance of larger hips or adds hip curves<\/a> on straight figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important thing to remember when wearing an A-line skirt is this: Choose your tops carefully.  <\/em>If the top doesn\u2019t fit well or is too baggy, your look goes from fab to frumpy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, consider your height<\/em>. Skirt length is very important, especially for petite frames, because they can be dwarfed by a long, full skirt. The trendy A-line mini is a nice option if a midi-length A-line makes you feel too boxy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
