Going the Skirt way


Monotony of formal tailored clothing can be broken by adding different silhouettes to the business dressing. Formal skirts are available in different styles such as A-line, pleated, with belts, etc can be chosen according to the body types.



Formal skirts are usually in cotton, twill or wool fabric. The best skirt silhouette for office wear is A-line as they create a waistline and widen at hem, balancing out larger hips.



A business skirt can also be combined with waistcoats or formal jackets (with or without collar). This attire gives a complete professional look. To give a cleaner look, the top can be tucked in but not creating a bulge or pull around the skirt waist. Tight skirts should never be worn at work. Formal skirts slit should be at or below the knee. A proper slit in the skirt provides movement flexibility.


They are available in both solid colors and patterns.

Nowadays varieties of fabric patterns are available in skirts like twill. But the color selections for the formal skirts should favor business dressing like black, white, grey, beige or brown. Flashy color tones reflects negative on the other person.



A formal skirt can have elements like a bow on the belt, pleats, godet or buttons. These never have unequal hemline and should be rightly fitted. A business skirt should not be too short that it shows off the thighs on standing or sitting. A mid length falling below or above the knee cap is ideal.
