A-line: perfect for pear shapes

Model on the Philip Lim S/S 2010 runway
An A-line skirt sits snugly at the waist but skims the hips and thighs.
This style of skirt is perfect for pear shapes because it balances out heavier hips and thighs.
Wearing the hemline just below your knee will emphasise slim calves and ankles.

Pencil: perfect for hour glass figures

Model on the Donna Karen S/S 2010 runway
Pencil skirts have a straight-up-and-down fit, usually with a slit at the back to allow more movement.
Pencil skirts should be fitted - not tight - and should hug the curves of the body but still have some give.
Try this season\'s high-waisted style to break up a long body and accentuate the waist.

Tulip: perfect for boyish figures

Model on the Fendi S/S 2010 runway
A tulip style is full and gathered at the waist and gets narrower towards the knees.
If you want to create a sexy hourglass shape, this is the style for you, as the subtle ruching will add curvature.
Choose a light fabric such as cotton or linen that gently skims over the hips and bottom for an ultra-flattering finish.
