On Trend with REGARD Magazine ....Skirt the Issue

Like maxi dresses, long maxi skirts are a huge trend at the moment. But wearing them can be a little tricky. Here are a few tips to help you navigate this fad.

• If you are petite, show your ankles. When you are on the shorter side of life, it’s important to strategically show some skin. Cover up too much, like with a skirt that skims the floor, you might disappear.  Emphasize your height, or lack thereof, with a pair of retro platforms.

• If you happen to be bottom heavy, try a flowing skirt in a bright color. Then, by adding the bold striped bolero, you will bring focus and emphasis to your upper half while still highlighting your curves. Be sure your maxi skirt is not too tight. A peasant skirt is a great option.

• If you happen to be top heavy, a printed skirt is a great alternative because it will draw attention to the bottom portion of your body which will visually balance your figure.  Add more visual interest with a striped loafer and keep it cool with a distressed cropped denim jacket. Have fun and give maxi skirts a try!
