It’s okay if you can stop trying on every skirt in the store and focus your attention on an A-line skirt. Yes, that’s right! The A-line skirt is considered a classic staple in the modern woman’s wardrobe. It is the most universally flattering skirt that looks good on every woman, regardless of shape, size, or age.
The A-line skirt has undergone a progression in style since Christian Dior first coined the term for his 1955 spring collection. It is available in a number of lengths, styles, and materials that better flatter different body types. The A-line skirt received its name from the A-shaped silhouette it creates out of the body.

It is a skirt that is very easy to wear and they look good on almost every woman when you wear them at the perfect length for your height. Petite women may want to shorten their skirts while tall women can get away with lengths below the knees. The best length for women over 40 is usually on top of just above the knees.
Let’s take a close look at the advantages of wearing A-line skirt below:
- A-line skirts hide bulges, so no need for shapewear! This makes them easy and comfortable to wear
- A-line skirts accentuate your waist giving you a nice hourglass figure.
- A-line skirts are very feminine.
- You can dress them up or down, depending on the fabric you choose and the tops you wear with them.
- You can combine them with a large variety of shoes. They look great with pumps and high sandals.
- You can easily combine an A-line skirt with jackets and jumpers. Short-cropped jackets will give your skirt a very modern look as well as the wide oversized jumpers that are popular now. Make sure that the jumpers are not too long, so we can still see a hint of your waist. Longer jackets can be belted to keep the nice hourglass silhouette.
Things to consider before wearing A-line Skirt:
- Choose your tops carefully. Selecting the wrong top can make your A-line skirt look frumpy.
- Make sure you pick the right length for your height as this can make a huge difference.
- Pay attention to shoes. They define how girly, modern, or casual your look will be.
