This style flatters most body types. "It glides as you walk, leading the eye away from problem areas," says Adam.
How to Wear It: Choose a fabric with an easy drape, like silk crepe, and if you're thicker in the middle, make sure the skirt has a wider waistband. Top with blazers and knits; shoes should be delicate. Think stilettos, pumps with bow details, slingbacks, and T-straps.
If You're Short: Don't go shorter than knee length "unless you want to look like Britney Spears in the 'Baby One More Time' video," says Adam.
If You're Tall: Try a midcalf length for a '20s look.
What to Avoid: Any kind of boot, which will clash with the skirt's ladylike vibe.
