Straight Skirt
Since Straight Skirt styles are plain, they can be worn with detailed tops without creating an overdone look to an outfit. Textured or cabled sweaters and multi-colored blouses may be paired Straight Skirt. Ruffled or embroidered blouses are other tops ideally suited for the plain texture of straight-lined skirts. Other names for straight styles of skirts are the pencil and the column. An A-line skirt is a more flared version of the straight look.
Slash pockets or a back pleat are subtle details that can add interest to a straight skirt. The back, or kick, pleat helps make movement easier. Slash pockets are sleek openings that blend in with the skirts seaming and shaping. A fitted waistband and zipper create a more fitted look to a straight-styled skirt than elastic at the waist. This type of tailored skirt is popular in women’s suits and office separates.
The straight, pencil or column skirt suits all figure types except those that are either very full or extremely slim. Straight Skirt may overly accentuate the narrowness and lack of curves in thin figures. Ruffles, layers, pleats or fullness tend to be better skirt features for lean body types. In the case of fuller figures, a straight shape of skirt may create a top-heavy, unbalanced look. An A-line skirt, which is basically a straight skirt that flares gently downward, tends to be much more flattering on rounder figures.
