Drape skirt styles

Stay fashionable and not freeze? It’s easy if you get skirts made of warm and high-quality materials. For example, from drape. Suitable for any style and will warm you in the most severe cold.

Drape skirts: cut features

The drape is made by weaving two layers of threads - 100% wool or mixed with synthetics. Therefore, the material is dense and heavy. Drape skirts always turn out massive and voluminous, even if you choose a simple style like a-line or pencil.

Modern fabric is considered pure wool if the percentage of synthetics indicated in the composition is less than the number “15”: this is exactly the amount of chemicals in the wool that are used to treat the fibers.

However, the softness of the fabric does not prevent the creation of styles with beautiful draperies and folds: the material, smooth and slightly “rolled” in the top layer, is quite plastic. Sewing models like godet from drape will also be successful.At the same time, the resulting shape of the item is preserved for years due to the density of the fabric, which does not prevent it from “breathing”, while simultaneously saving it from the cold.

Fashionable styles of drape skirts

With all the variety of options, there are absolute favorites.

Pencil

Universal, suitable for any style and suitable for almost everyone, the style is good in any color design. Especially popular:

  • pencilrich black;
  • all shades of gray;
  • the whole red range;
  • brick-terracotta colors;
  • mustard.

Among the prints, large and small checks, “foot”, and “herringbone” are always relevant.

A fitted skirt made of soft material looks moderately feminine and strict enough to become the basis of a business, casual or classic outfit in a duet with a fitted jacket, turtleneck or thin sweater, or a formal blouse. Looking for a less formal look? A smart blouse and jewelry to help!

When choosing a drape pencil for everyday work, it is better to choose a fabric option with a small admixture of synthetics: this option is less wrinkled from sitting at your desk for a long time.

Trapezoid

trapezoidThe trapezoidal shape, appropriate both in the office and at a party (it’s all about the accessories!), is appropriate for a drape skirt like no other - the dense fabric perfectly “holds” the contours of the silhouette, slightly expanding at the bottom. Any figure looks great in this model.

A wool A-line skirt can be equipped with pleats, which will add fluffiness and the ability to retain heat.

Drape skirts can be washed at a temperature no higher than forty degrees and only by hand, without twisting. Special requirements for washing powder - only for wool!

To the floor

longA long drape skirt is warm and very stylish. Moreover, the images can turn out very different.Modern fashion allows the maxi to be tapered and flared, equipped with folds and draperies, and the abundance of colors allows you to have options for both everyday life and holidays.

In combination with a top with straps, worn under an openwork blouse, the outwardly bulky model will give the appearance an airiness, especially if you complement the ensemble with heeled shoes. The effect will be similar with a tight blouse and bolero.

The appropriateness of such a thing in a romantic and boho style is beyond doubt. A drape maxi skirt is also unexpectedly effective in a military style: a strict dark sweater, boots with rough soles, a beret, a backpack - the look is ready!

Short

Young and frost-resistant You don’t have to give up miniskirts, especially if you wear them with thick tights or leggings and fur boots. The styles can be any:

  • shorttrapezoid and straight;
  • semi-flared and pleated in the manner of a kilt;
  • on the yoke;
  • with side draperies.

The colors and patterns can be anything from checkered to ethnic patterns. Fringe, leather inserts and belts are welcome.

Is the image too frivolous? A formal sweater and a long coat will soften the impression somewhat.
