3 Flattering Skirts For Plus-size Girls

Being extra curvy does not mean that you should hide behind extra large frocks that look like curtains. When it comes to skirts, there are a wide variety of styles that are very flattering to your shape. Below I've put together 3 skirts that are sure to flatter your curvy figure.
Do let me know which of these skirts will you be trying? Do share in the comments.

1. Pencil Skirts

You can never go wrong with a pencil skirt. Pencil skirts are a must-have staple in any woman's wardrobe and you shouldn't be left behind. There are countless options as regards colours and prints. A dark coloured pencil skirt is very versatile and can be dressed up or down. For a more fun take on pencil skirts, why not opt for a striped version.


2. Skater Skirts

Skater skirts or full-volume skirts have grown in popularity lately. These skirts are extra feminine and can also be worn with for a variety of occasions from the office to brunch with the girls to a night out. All you need to do is change your footwear.
You don't need to worry about the extra weight that this skirt might give you. Opt for one whose length is either at the knee or just below the knee. Wear your skater skirt with a cute pair of heels to add some height and don't forget your top should be fitted to keep your outfit proportional.


3. Maxi Skirts

Maxi skirts look flattering on everyone. They look great when paired either with flats or a good pair of heels. As with the skater skirt, ensure your top fits well (for proportion) for a more flattering look.
Maxi skirts also have a slimming effect since they make you look taller.

A labour of love: Long days, bee stings and a global premiere

“Amkeni” roughly translates to “Rise Up” in Kiswahili. This is the call of Chambuko Amkeni, a community-led conservation group involved in mangrove restoration and protection. In 2025, I had the honour of working with them to document their journey on women’s leadership in coastal and marine conservation, climate change adaptation and the blue economy, for a collaboration between Mission inclusion and the BBC StoryWorks'   for the   Living Legacy Series . This was my first time working on a project of this magnitude not to mention one that would have a global audience. To say this has been one of the highlights of the last two years is an understatement. Just thinking about it, my heart swells with pride. I feel like a mother watching her baby grow and come of age (please don't tell my daughter this!). With members of the Chambuko Amkeni Group Leading the production of Amkeni with my amazing colleagues was a true labour of love. A vision come to life thanks to the support o...

Rediscovering myself

A few blog posts ago I alluded to struggles I'd been facing for a few years now. I said that I would address these issues here soon but honestly, I didn't know when would be a good time. So I thought that today is as good a day as any. Last year I was diagnosed with trauma. It had been years in the making, a result of an emotionally abusive relationship and years of challenging events with seemingly no respite in sight. Although I had eventually gotten out of the relationship, I had unconsciously allowed this person's opinions of me become so ingrained in me that I had lost all knowledge of my former self. I lacked self-confidence. I blamed myself for many things that had happened in my life. I was perpetually sad and struggled to find even the smallest things to smile about. I had no motivation to do even those things that I loved. I would take photos and see my smiling face but deep down I knew that was just a front. I was broken, a shell of my former self. Now I'm no...

Blogging Challenge Day 13 | 5 Ways I Learned To Be Happy (No Matter The Circumstances)

Like everybody else, I began this year on a very positive note. I hoped for a better year than I had had in 2017. I had a plan that I laid out and I was determined to accomplish a lot of what was on my 2018 list. I once heard someone say that sometimes you plan and it doesn't work out not because you haven't put in enough effort but because God has other plans for you. So the first three months of 2018 were completely upside down for me. Everything seemed to be going wrong. I won't lie to you and tell you that I carried on happy in spite of everything that wasn't working. I struggled to smile, to wake up in the morning, to face my day, to be around people. However, I was determined to find lasting happiness. I wanted to find a way that would ensure that I remained happy even when life seemed to be going against me. I did my research and tried out a few things and found the 5 ways listed below that I have now been putting into practice for the last four or so month...
