You can never go wrong with dark and solid colored skirts. However they might not be the most exciting color for your taste so you might want to experiment with other designs with more bold patterns and bright colors. Further down this page you'll find heaps of recommended skirts for your plus-size figure.

But before you start hitting the shops make sure you've read through the basics on how to dress you full-figure frame.

How to Choose Your Best Skirt

It's all in what type of details you choose. Focus on prints and embellishments that elongate and trim your figure (like for example pinstripes, visible zippers, pleats or vertical paisley prints). Avoid details that stretch horizontally.

Choose the right hemline

Another important factor in looking great in a skirt is to pick the right hemline without making your legs stubby. So if you have muscular legs avoid anything that hit on the widest part of your legs - the calves. Mini's, knee length and long hemlines (falls right below your ankle knuckle) will look great on you.

Concentrate on dressing your body shape

In this way, you'll know what type of plus size skirts complement your figure. Like for example, if you have wide shoulders compared to your hips you'll notice that print and sequin skirts will suit you best because they balance out your figure by creating curves around your bottom half. On the other hand, if you have curvy hips and thighs you'll already know that you need something dark and solid colored to slim down your bottom half.

The best shapes for your figure

A-line and flared skirts add a nice proportion to your full-figure frame a nice, compared to pencil skirts that enhance your skirts and tend to make you look wider.
