It is highly recommended to use tighter garments on top since the tulle skirt has too much volume.
Sequin skirt
- Something similar to what happened with tulle skirts happens to sequined skirts: not everything goes when it comes to combining them.

Corduroy skirt
- Combining a corduroy skirt well is a fairly simple task. It is a star garment that can be salvation when you don’t know what to wear on the coldest days of the year, such as autumn or winter. If it’s very cold, bet on wearing tights that are a little thick but that do not detract from your skirt.

- Although it is true that denim skirts can be found in any color, the most basic will be the usual denim blue and black. Thanks to this type of skirt you can wear any other garment on top and in your shoes, depending as always on the place you go to or the occasion.
Leather skirt
- How to combine a leather skirt? If you have one in your closet and you always wear it with the same clothes, it’s time to change! These types of skirts are also too protagonists, since they capture all the attention of your total look, whether they are miniskirts, a pencil skirt or a pleated skirt that is also made of leather. You must get the one that best suits you and the one that you are most comfortable with.
- Leather skirts are great to wear on any occasion, especially when it comes to nighttime or day-to-day looks, for example to go to the office. They should be combined with more relaxed and less shiny fabrics, such as cotton or denim.
How to combine a skirt according to its shape
We have already seen how to combine a skirt according to its color, pattern or fabric. What’s left? Of course, the shape of it. Not all skirts suit all silhouettes, so it is best to try on a few and choose the one that best suits yourself. Let’s see some of the best known shapes!

- These types of garments are ideal in any wardrobe, as you can wear them both in summer and winter with good stockings. In addition, they are timeless and never go out of style, so you can combine them with top parts that are on trend and achieve a perfect outfit.
Pencil or tube skirt
- The so-called pencil or tube skirt is characterized by having a midi length, although they can also be minis. They usually have a high waist and are much fitted to the body, which greatly favors certain silhouettes that require accentuating the legs or waist, such as the rectangular or triangle silhouette.

The ideal is to wear a slightly wider top, in order to contrast and visually create a balanced effect throughout the outfit. You can wear it with a shirt tucked in with a little volume to achieve this balance, and you will have a divine look!
Tulip skirt
- The tulip skirt owes its name, worth the redundancy, to the tulip. It has the shape of a flower since it has two cross fabrics, one over the other, and it is very similar to a pencil or tube skirt since it is usually tight. These types of tulip skirts mark the waist a lot, so they are great for stylizing any self-respecting silhouette.
- Being a very original skirt, you will give your outfit a much more different style or touch than if you bet on a normal pencil skirt. They usually combine perfectly with heels, to stylize your legs, but if you are going to wear it in a more informal look, don’t hesitate to wear it with simple sneakers.
