Opinion on these skirts

dee

Hi, I'm struggling a bit with finding the proper length tops to wear with skirts. Whenever I look at photos of myself, all I can focus on is my hips. Maybe I'm just losing perspective, or maybe I'm just getting it wrong I'm also unsure of whether the length of either of these skirts is flattering (maybe the cord skirt is a bit long?). Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, Dee. Both skirts are "acceptable" skirt lengths -- which is just at, on or below the knee. The denim skirt hits the middle of your knee and the cord skirt appears to hit just below the knee. If it is longer than that, you should shorten it.

The trick is to decide which of those three knee lengths you prefer. I don't know how body types and skirt lengths work -- there may be a length that is considered better for your body type. But I think both skirts look good on you. I think the slighter shorter denim skirt might be better because it shows a bit of leg and gives a longer look to your legs. Hopefully others will add their opinions.

I think AJ is right. Both are fine, but I prefer the length of the first one! (And I don't think you should worry about your hips! You look great!)

I think you look great in these outfits too. I do prefer the darker tights.

Now here’s a pretty pear rocking the right shape pencil skirt. Lovely, dee! Well done.

Both skirt lengths work well and there is NOTHING wrong with those fine, fine hips. You look fab. I’d love to see you break up the torso a little. Shorten both layers and have the underneath one peeking through a little more. This might make you feel more balanced within your silhouette. Hope that makes sense.

Thank you for your positive comments and help Angie - I think I get it, go shorter with the top and have a longer layer underneath. I'll give it a try!

Hi Dee, looks like you already got some great advice, but just wanted to chime and say you look great in both skirts! I really like the yellow cardi on you. Very nice color!

I also wanted to say that you look great in both skirts. The yellow cord one is really pretty.
