Are Denim (Jean) Skirts in Style in 2018? (Olivia Palermo and Rihanna)

Back with another article on 2018 trends, today we will be discussing denim skirts.

So far we have focused mostly on pants, leggings and shoes so the time has finally come for skirts to make an appearance.

While skirts in general have always been in style and will continue being a staple of women’s wardrobes, denim skirts are very specific and not for everyone.

We picked this type of skirt because firstly, we love denim as a fabric and secondly we think skirts are a must-have. A beautiful skirt will make you look well-dressed and with the range of styles available, you can find a skirt for any occasion.

Skirts are also suitable for all ages. From baby girls to mature ladies, everyone can rock a skirt.

Plus, they are incredibly versatile and the styling options are practically infinite. They also go great with different types of shoes, as we will see in a minute. What’s not to love about skirts, really?

Mom Jeans (Cameron Diaz)

Curvy ladies, we are back at it again with another topic just for you.

We have looked at some mom jeans for big thighs in the past and today we will be discussing on whether wearing this type of jeans is a good idea at the end of the day.

Mom jeans have had some rough times in the fashion industry because they were regarded as unflattering by most people. Wide at the crotch, with loose-fitting legs and a high waist, they were the staple jeans of mothers back in the 70’s.

Being very comfortable and modest is what they are best known for, which explains why women, especially housewives at the time were so fond of them.

What’s better than being comfortable while having to run errands all day and chase kids around, after all!

What Type of Skirt Should a Pear Shaped Body Wear?

Welcome back to a guide, this time, on what skirts are most flattering for pear shapes. We recently did a piece on swimsuits for different types of bodies, so we thought it would be good to carry on with the topic of how to wear certain clothes for a specific body type.

A short informative paragraph is in order on what is a pear shape.

A pear shape refers to a woman who has a small waist and hips that are wider than her shoulders. Those of you with this body type usually have a fuller back, too, and a smaller chest. This is also the most common body shape in women, in case you were wondering.

Dressing a pear shape is quite simple as it gives you plenty of choosing options. A-line dresses look great on pear shapes, pants, leggings and jeans especially, look exceptionally good. If you play around with different tops, you can easily rock any outfit.

Today’s topic is skirts and we will be looking at what types of skirts you should wear, if you have a pear body shape. The reason why we are focusing on skirts is because a lot of women with this body type tend to shy away from skirts.

Then riding boots became a fashion trend and even today they are still a favorite among women. This type of boot is arguably one of the most comfortable designs and they also make great winter boots, due to covering the leg from the knee down.

Are Dresses With Leggings Still in Style in 2018? (Jessica Alba)

It’s all about leggings this week, too, where we will be taking another walk down the path of “Is it still in style”.

Both of us over here are quite fond of leggings, as we have stated before. They are super easy to style, are very comfortable and quite versatile. There are numerous outfits that can be put together with a simple pair of leggings.

Previously, we discussed whether patterned leggings are still in style in 2018. Today we are sticking to regular leggings and instead will be focusing on a particular way of styling them. Get ready to have a long and relaxing read with us about leggings and how well they match with dresses.

Like everyone else, when we want to quickly assess whether a particular fashion trend is still popular, catwalks and celebrities are a good indication. But, unfortunately, this isn’t always helpful as there are some trends, such as the one we are discussing today, that are not very suited for catwalks.

Leggings in general are often related to casual outfits, when outside of the gym of course. As such, it is solely up to you to decide if you will be wearing them.

But since we always strive to be honest with our readers, dresses and leggings together have had their last appearance on a catwalk nearly a decade ago. This is understandable as trends evolve and now we are seeing quite avant-garde clothing styles.

So what is there to turn to, so we can answer today’s question? Well, keep on reading.

Flattering Skirts for Big Hips and Thighs (Ashley Graham)

Welcome back, ladies!

Today’s selection is for those of you with beautiful curves, especially if you have big thighs, too.

Several weeks ago we took a look at some jeans and pants for women with big hips and thighs, where we got down to business and discussed not only which ones best suit your body shape, but also how to style them.

Today we will do the same with our selection of 7 gorgeous skirts that are a must-have for you.

These are A-line dresses, with a bit of flare and some pleats as well. We picked this particular style as it puts all the attention on the small waist for the hourglass and pear body shape. This, in turn, takes the focus away from your hips and thighs, creating a very flattering figure.

We also picked designs that you can wear anywhere, be it a casual or formal event, and even to work.

Before we get started with the selection, we would like to suggest that you wear these skirts with shirts that can be tucked into them, as this will better show off the curves and small waist.

But this is just our suggestion, if you’re feeling like wearing an oversized top then you do you!
