I need to figure out what kinds of skirts and pants fits my body shape?

Question

I am 5'10, i have an hourglass figure, and i weigh around 160-165 lbs with a very narrow waistline and skinny legs. i need to figure out what kind of skirt fits my body shape and frame. What kind of skirt would work? How long should it be? What kind of shoe should i wear with it? i also need to kno what kind of pant would work. should i go w/ flare, boot cut, skinny leg, hip huggers, or any other thing i failed to mention? im clueless when it comes to shopping for skirts and pants. thanks

Answer 1

Hourglass figures look best in slightly tapered [ not too tight ], Aline, and bias cut skirts. Avoid fitted at the waist, then very full.
Curvy figures are flattered by flat front pants, straight leg or boot cut pants and jeans, straight leg capris. Cuffs are ok if you have long legs. Avoid pleated or tapered leg pants.

Answer 2

Buy the book "Color Me Beautiful" by Carole Jackson. It has chapters about this stuff, along with how to choose clothes for your personal style, and how to alter clothes you already have for more flattering fit. I swear by it! It's available on both eBay and Amazon. Good luck!
