The skirt: an inspiration for your wardrobe

Flared and straight skirts, pleated skirts and midi skirts, in silk or in tulle, this essential garment is much more than a little scrap of frivolous fabric. Combining elegance and casualness with disarming ease, this garment is symbolic of confident femininity. It adapts to all moods, for example, for relaxing in the sun, we recommend the Bohemian skirt.

The skirt demonstrates its versatility

Compared to a dress, it lends itself more easily to stylistic mismatches, thus offering greater variety. The different styles not only play on length, but also feature a multitude of shades, motifs and fabrics. From the short leather version which reveals the shape of your calves, to the long muslin skirt and the denim skirt reminiscent of the 1990s, all types of fibre are represented. To personalise your figure and ensure comfort, you can also experiment with knit fabrics: plain Milano, trendy jacquard or chic jacquard. There is something for all tastes. Updated and varied from one season to another, it is back to its best. You can also experiment with it in different styles: a plain total look, a printed total look or a mixture of plain and printed, it’s your choice. A little word of advice, the long floral skirt is the major trend of the moment, just try it and you’ll love it! In a more modern mood, it can also be found in flashy shades to create a fresh summer outfit. Don’t worry, the essential stylish black skirt will always be here. For work meetings, the high waisted skirt or straight midi skirt are both poised and elegant. All while complying with the demand for quality on a background of carefully worked details and impeccable cuts. In short, it is a great feminine classic which is beautifully revived with charm and modernity.

The multifaceted skirt

Asymmetric or slit, it lends itself to all types of combination. Like a real fashion chameleon, it overturns conventions in order to reinvent them better. With or without tights, coordinated with a jacket or comfortable ballerina shoes, you no longer have any excuse to go without one. For those with rectangular shoulders, it’s about creating curves and harmonising the look. So, an A-line skirt is indicated to provide more volume around the hips. Curvy women prefer a mid-length and possibly figure-hugging skirt, coordinated with a loose jumper. For perfect support without pinching or constricting the waist, opt for the elasticated waist skirt, for guaranteed elegance and comfort. Because every woman is unique, Afibel offers a collection of plus size bottoms up to size 34. Your new plus size skirt?

A long pleated skirt for a guaranteed vintage look

If there is one garment which suits almost all body types, it’s the maxi skirt. Moving seamlessly from a summer look to a more urban one, this garment is a great way of expressing your penchant for the folk style. Pleated, this retro-inspired garment is the epitome of the schoolgirl’s uniform which flutters around your ankles and refashions your look. For a contemporary look, opt for an orange shade matched with an ultra-feminine coral blouse. For a more classic style, prefer a long, pleated skirt, set off with a basic cotton T- shirt. With its flattering lines, the latter usually requires the wearing of heels which highlight the movement of its pleats, but it also goes perfectly with trainers.
