Should I wear a skirt?

Question

Here's the deal. I'm 5'7, 126 lbs, but I am very self concious. For work I'm always in suits and whenever I wear a skirt, it's always below the knee or right at it as to not be too revealing. But because of that, I am self concious about my knees and NEVER wear skirts above them. I was thinking about it and want to know if I should. My fiance loves skirts, but I'm just so scared and don't think that I have nice legs. What should I do??

Answer 1

if youre only worried about what youre fiance thinks, know that he obviously finds you attractive and if youre in a skirt the last thing him (or anyone else) will be looking at is your knees. even other women will not look at your knees, dont worry about it! also...no matter how bad you think your knees are, theres always someone else out there w/worse knees then you whos still willing to show them off :)

Answer 2

First of all, wear what you are comfortable in. If skirts aren't it, then don't wear them. But if you do want to wear a skirt, find one that you like and matches your style. Denim minis aren't the only skirts around. You could wear a cute boho skirt, or even a thin pencil skirt.
Old navy has some great denim and corduroy skirts that aren't too long or short. They're the perfect length.
American Eagle has really cute skirts that look like minis, but when you're wearing them don't feel too mini.
If you decide you really want to buy that mini skirt you're fiance really likes you in, then try matching it with a bigger topper. Something thats looser or not as revealing. That way you balance out the amount of skin you're showing.
If you aren't used to wearing a skirt, then the first time you wear one, you should probably wear flats or sandals, not heels. That way you feel more confident in your skirt. Then next time bump it up to a pair of flashy spiked heels or pumps.

My mom is 5'7 and she looks great in skirts above the knee. After you wear it a couple of times you will get used to it and think that you look great. Also your fiance will compliment you and so will alot of other people so they will make you feel good about your self too. I say go for it.

Answer 4

You should put on a skirt above the knee and go someone where easy like to the bakery or the gas station to test out how comfortable you feel, then go home and stay in it in the house all day. If you feel comfotable with it on then you can wear one next time you go out, and if you don't at least you tried it.

Answer 5

Wear a skirt! I used to never wear skirts or shorts and all summer long I'd wear pants and let me tell you it was miserable. (I live in TX.) Then I had to wear lots of skirts for different things I had to go to and it was sooo much better. Skirts are fun and you would probably look good in a skirt according to your height and weight. At least go try some on.

Answer 6

If you're 5'7 and 126lbs. you probably have a beautiful figure including your legs! I say go for it. You'll never know how good it looks on you until you wear it in public. If you get a compliment while wearing the skirt, you should wear it again!

Good Luck!!

draw the confidence out of yoursel and show of your legs. Surely they cant be as bad as you say they are. Im self conscious of my knees too and im a 20 year old girl, but my mom told me to stop being so stupid and get them out.

I think you are too used to being in trousers that it feels weird to where a skirt. Be brave and just do it! Skirts are more feminine and ladylike too! :)

Answer 8

Wear the skirt, drop the self conscious issues.

Answer 9

If you feel good and comfortable in the skirts. If a person doesn't feel right in the clothes they are wearing then that just not right. So if you feel comfortable in them go ahead and wear them. You shouldn't care what other people say as long as you feel great!

Answer 10

Shave and then put lotion on your legs then wear the skirt. Your legs will look best then and just stay at home for a while to get used to it. I say go for it girl!!!!
