There are certain items in your closet that you can always rely on to build an outfit around, and one of those is the black skirt. Below, you will find black skirt outfit ideas for this hard-working closet staple.
Do you already have a black skirt in your closet?
Most women will already have a black skirt in their closet as part of their wardrobe essentials. If you’re one of them, you perhaps already have a favorite style.
However, if you don’t love the black skirt you already own, you want a more flattering option, or you don’t actually own one at all yet, how do you choose the perfect black skirt?
Well, as with everything, there is no one size or one style fits all. Choose a black skirt to suit your body shape, and then work the rest of your outfit around it.
If you have an hourglass figure, for example, you may wish to opt for a pencil skirt to show off your curves. If you have a pear-shape, you will wish for a figure skimming style.
