Variety of checkered skirts, fashionable looks in different styles

Types

The cage is an interesting, but rather complex print. It has been popular for many years and has even become a real classic. If a woman chooses a cage skirt, she should know that clothes with a geometric pattern do not look organic with all wardrobe items. It is extremely important to choose companion items wisely to look stylish and elegant.

Popular styles

The checkered skirt is the trend of this season. Correctly chosen styles will help a woman create a unique image, emphasizing the advantages and hiding the disadvantages of the figure. Popular types of skirts:

  1. A checkered pleated skirt has a comfortable cut and suits all the fair sex. The short variation looks great on thin girls and resembles a school uniform. A long checkered pleated skirt with clear lines adjusts the figure favorably, hiding its flaws.
  2. A straight skirt is a versatile and practical item, ideal for everyday and work wear. It is not tight, so it does not restrict movement, does not accentuate the flaws of the physique.
  3. The wrap model differs from the classic versions by the elegant overlap of one edge of the product onto the other. It looks stylish and original. The checkered wrap skirt visually adds volume to the hips, so it is suitable for those with narrow pelvises.
  4. A pencil skirt in a cage is a strict and elegant model of office style. The cut of the item is restrained, businesslike. When choosing such a product, you should pay attention to the parameters of the cage. A large print can visually increase the size of the hips.
  5. A sun skirt in a small check is a universal, irreplaceable item in the wardrobe. The wide hem visually makes the legs thin and long. The flared cut emphasizes the fragility and sophistication of the female silhouette.
  6. Asymmetrical model – with its help you can create a unique image. The brightness and unusualness of the thing completely depend on the type of cage and its color scheme. A correctly selected model will help to competently disguise the flaws in the figure.

This year, checkered skirts of any length are relevant. The choice of the right one depends on the age, height, build, and personal preferences of the fair sex. A short checkered skirt sits well on thin girls. Medium length suits all ladies. It is not too strict, but at the same time quite open. A full-length skirt will be a great option for the evening. It is worth noting that short girls should avoid this length.

Material and decor

When choosing a skirt, you should pay attention to the features of the material. The appearance and service life of the product directly depend on the quality of the fabric. It is worth giving preference to checkered skirts made of:

  • cotton – a natural, light and breathable material;
  • wool - a warm, dense natural fabric;
  • polyester - a lightweight synthetic material;
  • viscose - a natural, wear-resistant material that holds its shape perfectly.

Most often, clothes are decorated with small zippers or metal buttons. They can be located in the hip and buttock area, creating the illusion of pockets. Also, a gray checkered skirt or any other flowered one is often belted with a belt. A long asymmetrical hem can be decorated with ruffles, fringe and flounces, creating volume. Some checkered fashion skirts are complemented by inserts made of genuine or artificial leather.

What to wear with

In order to look fashionable and elegant, it is not enough to simply choose a suitable model of a thing with a geometric pattern. What and where to wear a plaid skirt is a question that often arises among girls. The main rule is to follow the recommendations of stylists:

  1. For the top, you need to choose a light, solid-colored garment or an item of one of the colors that are on the product.
  2. Profitable companion items for a plaid skirt: leather wardrobe items, such as biker jackets, belts, shoes.
  3. For the office, you should choose bottoms in calm, pastel shades, and a solid-color oversized jacket in a dark color will do as a top.
  4. Mini skirts look great with long dark boots.
  5. It is better to complement the look with accessories that match the color of the chosen shoes.
  6. The top should be chosen depending on the style and length of the skirt. For example, a strict black jacket will look good with a short bottom, and denim jackets are perfectly combined with floor-length items. A fashionable look will be achieved by combining a leather biker jacket with a red and black pleated midi-length skirt.

Examples of successful combinations for school, office, everyday and evening looks are given in the table.

Now, you should give preference to oversized jackets. Checkered skirts are not contraindicated for plus size ladies. The main thing is not to choose options with too large or too small a pattern.

  • choosing a shirt with a glossy texture;
  • use of a large number of accessories;
  • a combination of a wool skirt and a thin knitted blouse;
  • a combination of more than three colors at the same time.
