I adore every one of Angie’s slim skirt examples in her latest post. This fringe trend feels like a flashback to 2012-2014 for me. I used to wear a slim, tapered pencil skirt with an oversized, slouchy top a TON. Loved it. I remember J.Crew and even Anthropologie did a lot of slim skirt/pencil skirts paired with slouchy and layered tops.

I wouldn’t mind trying it again. I’ve always felt I looked better in a slimmer skirt versus fuller skirt shapes tbh. Not sure why. I’m an hourglass/figure 8. The advice is generally fuller skirts with waist definition.

Anyhoots.

How do I (or you!) style a column/tube/slim skirt with a curvy body and flatter, wider derrière?

I really like my chiffon skirt. It's really flattering on me. The cut is excellent. I'm not sure if it's actually bias cut, but it's got excellent shape though hips then gently tapers a bit toward ankle.

My ruched knit tube skirt feels less flattering, even though I like it. It could very easily be due to fabrication and cut. The fabric is a thin rayon-spandex jersey knit. It has a thin knit lining but that's not enough to make up being thin fabric. It also is cut very straight. It doesn't have the curvier cut and shape of the chiffon skirt. Ruching just can't make up for that.

So... should I sew/buy a knit skirt that's curved through the hip and then gently tapered? Maybe with medium weight jersey knit? Is that the key to me finding a slim jersey skirt I love?

Knits/jersey just feels so much easier right now, especially with summer getting close. A woven fabric feels more structured but also less "pull-on and go" IYKWIM.
