Asymmetrical Skirts

The look: Summer Goddess 

Stating the obvious here, but; asymmetrical skirts are totally in! Opt for something high-waisted (teamed with a waist-cinching belt to show definition) and pair with a singlet or fitted top, for a breezy summer look. Considering that tan colours are tres haute right now, it might be a good idea to get a brightly-hued orange (or something similar) skirt and wear it with a creamy-tan coloured singlet and tan sandals and belt. However, if tan isn't really your thing, you could always try other bright and summery colours (like a mixture of turquoise and aquamarine) and as long as the skirt remains the focal piece of the outfit (with everything else a bit more simple) it should look AMAZING!     



For fashion newbies:asymmetrical skirt is something that's short at the front and long at the back.


Do's and don't s: Personally, I'd say to always wear asymmetrical skirts with a fitted top, as it can bring down the look to have two loose-fitting things in the same outfit. Generally, it looks best with singlets (for a real summery look) but otherwise, it still looks good to wear it with short-sleeved or long-sleeved tops, as long as it's fitted 
   
Where from: You can buy asymmetrical skirts from almost anywhere, but try Supre (they have heaps of colours), Valleygirl (cheap but chic) or Forever New (bit on the high side but amazing quality).
