Different types of Skirt Description/meaning Image
A-Line Skirt A-line skirt is a skirt that is fitted at
the hips and gradually widens
towards the hem, giving the
impression of the shape of a capital
letter A. The term is also used to
describe dresses and coats with a
similar shape. 1958 trapeze dress.

Pencil Skirt A pencil skirt is a slim-fitting skirt


with a straight, narrow cut.
Generally the hem falls to, or is just
below, the knee and is tailored for a
close fit. It is named for its shape:
long and slim like a pencil.

Maxi Skirt Maxi skirts are full-length skirts that


usually reach the ankle or floor and
often feature a high waistline and
full silhouette. They are often made
from lightweight and flowy fabrics,
such as chiffon or cotton, and can
come in a range of styles, such as
A-line or pleated. Maxi skirts can be
worn for both casual and formal
occasions, depending on the
material and design. They are
versatile and comfortable, making
them a popular choice among many
people.
Midi Skirt A midi skirt is a type of skirt that
falls between the knee and ankle,
typically hitting mid-calf. It is a
versatile length that can be worn for
both casual and formal occasions,
depending on the style and
material. Midi skirts can be made
from a variety of fabrics, including
cotton, silk, and linen, and can
come in a range of styles, such as
A-line or pencil.

Mini Skirt is a skirt with its hemline well above


the knees, generally at mid-thigh
level, normally no longer than 10 cm
(4 in) below the buttocks, typically
ending mid-thigh or higher, creating
a youthful and fun look.

Flared Skirt A flared skirt is a skirt that is fitted at


the waist and flares out towards the
hem, creating a flirty and feminine
silhouette.
Wrap Skirt wrap skirt is a kind of skirt that ties
at the waist and wraps around the
body. The wrapping frequently
overlaps so that the skirt does not
open up and display the body when
the knees or legs move.

Pleated Skirt A pleated skirt is a skirt with pleats,


which are folds of fabric that create
a structured and textured look.
Pleated skirts can have varying
degrees of fullness.
Pleats are folds in fabrics often as a
means of containing a wide piece of
fabric to fit another one of narrower
proportions

Tiered Skirt A skirt made of several horizontal


layers, each wider than the one
above, and divided by stitching.
Layers may look identical in solid-
colored garments, or may differ
when made of printed fabrics and
add volume and dimension to the
garment, creating a playful and
unique style.
. The length and width of each layer
may be the same or may vary. Each
gives a different look. The fabric
used may or may not be the same.
Mermaid Skirt A mermaid skirt is a fitted skirt that
hugs the body through the hips and
thighs and then flares out at or
below the knees, resembling the
shape of a mermaid's tail.
