We did the legwork for you (pun intended) and figured out the best skirts to showcase your God-given assets. Read on.

Show off a fabulous hourglass figure with a sleek pencil skirt that smoothes over your thighs, giving you a streamlined look while highlighting all the right curves.

Maxi
Contrary to popular belief, maxi skirts aren’t just for women with legs as long as Edsa. Fun-sized gals with long torsos can also wear them to give the illusion of height. Pro-tip: a high-slit on a maxi skirt can keep the look from becoming overwhelming, which is perfect for shorter girls.
