40+ Style ... leather skirts

Saturday 12 October 2013

By the time you've reached 40, you've probably had many 'mistakes' in your wardrobe, but now you know what you like & what suits you.  If you don't, get yourself along to a Colour Me Beautiful consultant immediately; look great and save yourself a fortune!

You'll see lots of leather / faux leather skirts in the shops at the moment, but if you're wanting to minimise your bottom half then you need to avoid any of those with a sheen, like the one below from Baukjen.com.

Choose a soft matt leather / faux leather skirt, that skims over your hips (rather than clings to your body), and pair it with a cashmere / cashmere mix jumper for a sophisticated day look.  Choose short sleeves to bring the eye up and away from your 'problem area'.

Another trick is to wear your leather skirt with a bright coloured top, or a patterned top to draw attention upwards; creating that optical illusion ;-)

And always avoid pockets, or any pocket detail, on your bottom half, unless you want your hips to look wider!
