Dolce & Gabbana Spring-Summer 2025 Ready-To-Wear Collection For those with an hourglass-shaped body, it’s preferable to accentuate the waist with high-waisted pencil skirts or A-line silhouettes. Curve-hugging midi skirts with corseted tops highlight the hourglass figure. If this is your case, look for skirts in soft satins or knits that emphasize your natural waistline.

Dior Spring-Summer 2025 Ready-To-Wear Collection Those with a pear-shaped body need to balance their wider hips with skirts that add volume up top or flare gently from the waist. Midi-length A-line skirts with structured jackets are perfect for streamlining the silhouette. If this is your case, try pleated or tulip skirts in lighter fabrics to draw attention away from the hips.

Zimmermann Spring-Summer 2025 Ready-To-Wear Collection For those with an apple-shaped body, the key is to focus on elongating the silhouette and creating definition around the waist. Bias-cut skirts with asymmetrical hems flatter the midsection and elongate the legs. Wrap skirts with tie details also help define the waist while offering a flattering drape.

CHANEL Spring-Summer 2025 Ready-To-Wear Collection A rectangle-shaped body calls for voluminous or detailed skirts that create curves. Creations that use layers of tulle and embroidery add movement and shape to straighter figures. If this is your case, look for ruffles, peplums, or bold prints to add interest and dimension.
