The best printed skirt for your body type

“I have a fairly tiny waist, and the my hips go out. I’ve learned to love that about my body—and a higher-waist skirt shows it off. If you’ve got curves, geometric prints trick the eye and flatter.” —Chelsea Brown, 24

Pick skirts that are a little high-waisted. A wide waistband highlights a trim torso.

“I am a thicker girl, and I have thick legs, so I love full, short skirts—my legs look thinner in comparison. Prints are daring, so I make sure skirts are either below the knee and tight, or above the knee and loose.” —Janae Shields, 24

Flowy styles are most flattering. Paisley pleats elongate your look.
