Body positivity is the new black. We all come in different shapes and sizes that we should be proud of. Better yet, we come in shapes and sizes that we should know how to accentuate and flatter. Regardless of the type of figure you were born with, the right skirt is the key to showing off your curves and boosting confidence. Learn how to work what you’ve got with these key tips on choosing the right skirt for your body type courtesy of fashion & beauty maven Michelle Phan:

Slim & Petite 

If you’re petite with minimal curves, opt for a well-structured skirt that hits right above your waistline to give an hour-glass illusion. If you are short, regardless of size, opt for a skirt that stops above the knee to achieve model-length legs.

If you’re more top heavy, opt for a full volume skirt that evens out your bottom while cinching in your waist. Fun patterns can add a little flare, but aim to keep it simple and sleek on top to maintain your body’s balance.

Draw attention to your waist and detract from your hips with a high waisted skirt that has good movement. To elongate your body, make sure it hits a little above the knee. To maintain good balance, a flowy top that is tucked in or cinches at the waist is a good option.
