Cover Up Calves With A Skirt

Long skirts hide calves easily and stylishly.


Cover your calves in a stylish way by wearing long skirts in lieu of pants. Longer skirts, which typically reach close to the floor, are classic and sassy. They come in a multitude of colors, patterns and sizes to accommodate the different body types and color preferences of women. Because of the length, the skirt will easily conceal the calf area from sight. In addition, shopping for the longer skirt is ideal because they are available year-round and in a variety of price ranges.


Instructions


1. Search for a long skirt, one that is fuller rather than tighter throughout the hips and thigh area. Long skirts typically graze the floor in length. You want to avoid wearing a skirt that will hit at the calves area which is located between your knees and ankles. The skirt can contain patterns, embellishments, tiers or ruffles to enhance the look, as long as it reaches close to the floor or slightly longer.


2. Look to wrap skirts for a stylish alternative to a long skirt. Wrap skirts are large pieces of fabric that wrap around your waist and reach the floor. The waist is adjustable to accommodate any size and the fabric, and you can loosely tie it so it is not snug against your lower half. Wrap skirts are also ideal for beach cover-ups.


3. Add length to your legs by wearing heels. When you pair a long skirt with heels, whether they are wedge sandals or boots, you are giving the illusion of longer legs. Long skirts are ideal for year-round wear, casual wear and office wear; therefore, pair your shoe choice accordingly


4. Wear a coordinating blouse or top with the skirt that is slightly fitted. You want to look proportionate with the long, flowing skirt, so choose a shirt that is balances out the look. Necklines that are open, such as a scoop-neck, V-neck and boat-neck work well with long skirts.
