As a girl, wearing skirts is just one thing that I can’t get enough of. But the thing is, wearing skirt can be too tiresome and boring at times. Which is why I decided to try out wearing trumpet skirts.
The trumpet skirt, also known as the mermaid skirt, frill skirt, or ruffled skirt, has taken on a sleeker form dating these modern times. Coming back from its immense popularity during the Mean Girls era, what was once a skirt silhouette filled with aggressive ruffles and lengths (which seemed to get shorter and shorter in length by the week) has now been reborn with more sophistication.
Stylishly feminine both in fit and style, the trumpet skirt is continuously evolving to fit the modern trends of today’s girls. Trumpet skirt is a sister to drop waist dresses and also closely resembles its roots which is the skater skirt. Still, trumpet skirts do possess their own character – the upper portion is fitted while the lower seam flares out from the body. Because the top portion of the skirt hugs your curves, you need to be comfortable with your shape and your derriere. Stand straight, walk with good posture in order to give your rear its best look.
If you want to create an illusion of long legs, opt for midi trumpet skirts to partner with a cute top, tuck in. To wear it to formal affairs, go for a simple clean top such as a solid colored silk or a collared button-down shirt. Adding a matching blazer will create a very elegant, polish tandem.
For transitional days, early fall or late spring, play up your femininity with gorgeous trumpet skirts and knitted pullover topped with ankle boots or pumps (worn with socks). Remember that if your skirt is mini, you have to tuck your top. But if you feel like wearing it untuck and a little loose, make sure that your skirt is a midi and your top hits around the first hip.
Trumpet skirts might be tricky to wear, but I assure you that mastering their quirks is worth it! They give you a different view on skirts and a different angle to look at when you want to wear skirts but don’t want to look the same as everybody else.
