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.

My Style: Mad About Denim

 I feel like I have put up soo many denim-related outfits of late but that's because I live in jeans. I can't help it. Let's talk about these particular jeans. They are high-waisted and have a zip that runs half-way up the calf and the fact that they stretch a little really adds to their charm. I paired them with a blue multi-layered top which I found to be so cute and feminine and topped it all off with my striped blue blazer. I love the cropped style and fit of this blazer. It instantly smartens up any outfit that I pair it with. For shoes, I opted for my grey sneakers which I first appeared on the blog here . Pops of red, in the form of lipstick and a necklace, added some more colour and brightness to the outfit.   Outfit Details: Jeans: Borrowed from my sis (Thrifted, Gikomba Market) Top and Blazer: Thrifted, Gikomba Market Shoes: Bus Station, Nairobi Earrings: Gift Necklace: Thrift Away (Instagram) Thank you for stopping by. xo

ABOUT

Hi, I'm Audrey. Welcome to Inches To Style☺ How it started I fell in love with fashion at an early age. In fact, I wanted to be a model and when I realised that I wouldn’t make the cut because of my height, I decided that I would become a fashion designer. I’d been making clothes for my dolls for years so I knew that was a career path I would love to pursue.  I didn’t study fashion nor did I become a fashion designer but my love for clothes and putting outfits together stuck with me.  On September 12, 2011 I wrote my first blog post, after I discovered the world of fashion blogs and got hooked. I thought to myself, “I can do this! I like writing and I like fashion, so why not?” And so Inches To Style was born. What to expect from the blog At first, I wanted this blog to be a source of inspiration for anyone looking to up their style game. As time progressed and my personal style and lifestyle has evolved, I found the name of my blog quite fitting as I’m moving inches (closer) ...

HOW TO: Wear A Pencil Skirt | With a T-Shirt and Statement Necklace

Hello lovelies! My quest to learn how to style a pencil skirt continues. I was selling this skirt ( on Botique i2s ) some time ago but I didn't get someone to buy it. So I added it to my arsenal. I have worn it twice since. I previously paired it with a white button down shirt. For last Sunday's Church outfit, I wore it with a chocolate brown t-shirt and added a statement necklace to dress up the outfit a little. My tan brown wedges have finally made a reappearance on the blog. A lime green and brown turban completed the outfit. Outfit Details: Skirt: Botique i2s T-Shirt: India Wedges: Bus Station Necklace: bought from a friend Head-wrap: India  I must say that I prefer this combination of colours more than with the white shirt. What do you think of it? How would you have worn this skirt?   Have you checked out my online store yet?
