Best Skirts for a Rectangle Body Shape
A skirt with fullness or detail at the hip can create curves.
This guide is for the rectangle body shape: bust and hips within 5% of each other, with a waist between 75% and 85% of the wider measurement.
Look for
- A-line, circle and pleated skirts
- Skirts with pockets, ruffles or gathers at the hip
- Wrap and paperbag-waist skirts
- Bright colours, prints and textures on the skirt
Skip or adjust
- Straight, narrow pencil skirts in a single colour
- Skirts with very thin waistbands and no shaping
- Very long, straight column skirts
