The Gypsy Skirt & Bohemian Look

Fall is coming up and cool weather will be upon us sooner than later!  Many times I am asked how to wear skirts when its warm outside.  One great addition to your wardrobe is the Gypsy Skirt, which can also be worn in layers with tights and boots underneath.

A flashback to Alexis Mabel’s NYFW 2012 Line reveals the warmth and beauty of a Gypsy Skirt:

 

 

Gypsy Skirts are A Line skirts with layered hems, much of the focus veers towards one’s hips when wearing this type of skirt:

How to Rock It!

What makes this model’s look?  The head wrap, the bangles, the smoky eyes, layered necklaces, colorful florals and a mixture of fun patterns.  This is called a Bohemian or Boho Look!

Imagine wearing this model’s look with a gypsy skirt!  Now you have a head turning ensemble everywhere you go…And a fun youthful feel.

 

But you could also simplify the look with a plain black tshirt, so you don’t overdo it.

 

Okay, one more just for fun:

Best Body Type: Taller Women, Pear/Pencil/Rectangle Shaped Women

If you are a Pear Shape, be careful wearing skirts that are too tight around the hips!

The Layered Skirt

The layered skirt is a beautiful expression and visualization of the multifaceted nature of a woman.  She ascends to higher and higher heights in her growth, shockingly springing forth unrevealed qualities of her being.  This is the New 21st Century Woman.

Dennis Basso's Spring 2013 Line reveals the beauty of graceful power.

 

But, the same layers can be a more free flowing display of tribal ethnicity and unexpected waves of beauty.

And Chris Benz produces another rendition of the same skirt type- a sunshine bright yellow beneath a sheer black combined with a softer floral top and modern pumps.  He's created an eclectic, youthful, yet somewhat "pretty-urban-chic" look.

Recommended Body Type: Layered Skirts Look Best on Banana (Pencil) shaped women due to their fullness, adding a more voluminous dimension.
