Question: I have a question regarding pencil skirts. I have a small gut and no butt! So when I try on pencil skirts, they flare out in the back like a teepee! I don’t like “A” line skirts because they make my  hips look too big. The one feature I love about me is my legs! I  have great legs but no idea what type of skirt to wear! Help!!

Dear Carice,
If pencil and A-line skirts aren’t your thing try a bubble or tulip skirt. A bubble hem skirt like this one from Vero Moda will hide a flat bottom and is tapered at the hem so it definitely won’t flare out….

The same goes for a tulip skirt. The cut will be generous to those of us without perfectly flat tummies and will also create curves. Try a colourful one like this floral print tulip skirt from Bebe. The best thing is that both of these styles are always just-above-the-knee, so, it’s easy to show off your stems!
