Blouse, blouse, sweater… What should I wear my long skirt with?

The long folk skirt for a bohemian effect

We all have it in our closets, we love it for its lightness which reminds us of our last holidays in the sun, but we find it difficult to accessorize it to make it an essential part of our daily outfits. However, well matched, the 70's folk skirt does not have to wait for our next holidays to come out of our dressing room. For a casual look that allows you to both go to work and join your girlfriends for happy hour, bet on versatile pieces:a slightly loose T-shirt gives you an aura of femininity while being easy to live with during the day. Forget oversized or oversized tops that will make your figure look neglected:wide at the bottom and wide at the top, bad equation. To play the offbeat card and bring structure to your long skirt, a perfecto or a denim jacket will complete your look while remaining comfortable.

The 1950s-style long skirt:an air of B.B.

Which of us has never dreamed of looking like one of these 1950s icons? As true symbols of those years when femininity was at its height, Grace Kelly or Brigitte Bardot set an example of fashion that was both sexy and modest. The mythical long skirt of this period, twirling, ample, at the height of the calves, made its big comeback in the parades. Floral prints, pastel or deep colors, everyone can find what they are looking for, as long as they match it well. Faced with the amplitude of the skirt, a fitted top is welcome to emphasize a wasp waist, perfect for highlighting the skirt. A simple plain T-shirt in one of the colors of the skirt, preferably close to the body, is ideal to enhance your outfit. If you absolutely want to play the 1950s card, a short jacket with a wide collar and large buttons will complete the outfit perfectly. In order to avoid the uniform appearance of a set, consider staggering the jacket by choosing a different fabric from that of the skirt.

The pencil skirt:for an assumed sexy

Slender and sensual, the long pencil skirt has fashionistas rediscovering this mythical piece from the 1960s. With different materials and various lengths, it's up to you to find the model that suits you best. As it suits all silhouettes, it is a basic to necessarily have in your closets. In leather, jersey or cotton, printed or plain, shiny or matte, its high waist and its slit at the back allow all the madness. Forget the too strict aspect of the classic white blouse and pumps combo to make it an outfit that is easy to wear every day. With a crop-top (which does not reveal skin, too vulgar), a silk camisole or a structured blouse, the pencil skirt becomes an essential part of your wardrobe:to go to the office or to go to a night out, Don't hesitate to accessorize it and even offset it with sneakers, tennis shoes or flat ankle boots to enjoy it all year round.
