Which is THE skirt?

You could experiment with a knee-length, mini or a calf-length asymmetric skirt (according to your comfort level) with a tube and a shrug, or a gathered blouse, kaftan top, a décolleté neckline or a cowled top.

The skirt looks the best when constructed in soft fabric— chiffon, georgette, satin or knit.

Look as sensuous as you can!

What are the to-match accessories?

They can be anything classy or classic.

Try to avoid funky or sporty numbers.

Go with pearls, precious or semi-precious stones, silver, matte/Egyptian gold or platinum (include a statement/rock ring).

Slip into stilletoes, pointy-toed heels or stylish peep-toes.

Carry a box clutch or a jewelled pouch (smaller the better… anyways you are not paying, are you?).

Can I wear it?

Yes, you can but remember: an asymmetric skirt is all about hemline going askew so choose a style according to your shape.

It should be uber-short (for slim bods), knee-length (for medium to petite) and long for tall frames.

Caution: Do not wear anything overwhelming if you not too confident of flaunting it.

Alternatives:

A fit-flare (fitted at the waist with a yoke and flares out with frills, godets, on bias or with a wide A-line) or a Ra-Ra mini skirt, are great styles if you are slim-hipped or thin.
