WIW-honest opinions, please-should I be wearing skirts?

Victoria

I don't wear skirts very often because I always felt that my legs are too skinny and not something I should be showing. I guess its hard to tell by looking at yourself and maybe its just my own insecurity? I would like honest opinions, ladies.

I usually wear pants for that reason.

Great outfit! You look wonderful in a skirt! I have skinny ankles and calves, and knobby knees to boot, but wear them anyway. I live in a warm climate too, and I wouldn't survive without them...much preferred to shorts!

In my dream body, I'd have slender legs just like yours; I've always longed for them. Please wear skirts.

I have skinny legs and find that the skirt shape makes a big difference. I avoid skirts short enough to show my boney knees and all skirts that are A-line or full. The width at hemline just makes my legs look thinner. What works best are knee length pencil skirts that curve back in, tube skirts, narrow pleated skirts or other soft fabrics that fall back against the body, and assymetrical hemlines. The EF lantern shapes work well because they flare away from the body, then narrow at the hem.

Victoria, there are people out there who would kill for your legs! Even if you think they're on the thin side, others can see the beauty in them. Wear straight skirts like this and try the ones Joy has mentioned. Life is too short to put such restrictions on what you wear. You look great! It's fun to see your Honolulu-Luxe style again.

I have skinny legs & wear skirts, dresses, and shorts all the time. I wear full ones too, which just makes them look skinnier. But I love that style, so I don't care.

Your legs look great in the photo! So definitely wear them without another thought.

You look great in this skirt. Go for it! Lots of good insights here already, and I would add that people don't look at us the same way we look at ourselves in the mirror. They don't see is head-on, standing still, and they don't zero in on the things that bug us when we look at ourselves.

Yes, wear skirts! You look absolutely fine. I have skinny legs too, and I think Joy gives great advice about skirt shapes that will flatter you. I find that when the hemline tapers back in, that's when my legs and overall body shape look the best.

I could easily forgo skirts for the opposite reason -- but I'm not going to! There is beauty in many shapes and sizes of legs. Yours go perfectly with the rest of you -- creating a well balanced figure. Besides, skirts and scarves are a natural combo! Very Grace Kelly!

You absolutely should keep wearing skirts if you want to! Honestly, good legs like that are something worth showing off.

Another skinny legger here! I wear skirts 3-4 times a week. I've seen a lot of figure flattery advice for people who want to make their legs look thinner (avoid patterned tights, avoid brightly colored tights, etc). When the weather allows, I love doing the opposite. I love to wear patterned or textured tights, or tights in contrasting colors.
