Summer is undoubtedly the prime season for T-shirts. A simple T-shirt can be styled in numerous ways, and we’ve previously shared some T-shirt-related outfits with you.
However, apart from pairing them with pants, there are even more possibilities. If you want to add more variety to your T-shirt looks, let’s explore how to pair them with skirts!
The combination of a T-shirt and a skirt may seem simple, but it offers a vast creative space, always allowing you to create eye-catching and fashionable looks that are hard not to love!
1.How to Choose the Right T-Shirt?
Currently, there is an abundance of T-shirt and skirt styles available in the market. Let’s first clarify their styles.
When selecting a T-shirt, we should first consider whether the shoulder line is suitable.
The position of the shoulder line has a significant impact on the T-shirt’s silhouette and how it looks on the body.
The once-popular dropped shoulder, where the shoulder line sits slightly below the shoulders, may look casual and relaxed, but it can make those with broad shoulders and large chests appear top-heavy, particularly unflattering for women with a heavier upper body.
A regular shoulder T-shirt has the shoulder line sitting right on the shoulders, providing a moderate fit without appearing loose or oversized.
Visually, it won’t further widen your figure and is known as a slimming champion, especially effective in flattering the body shape.
To accurately choose a regular shoulder style, firstly, opt for designs with normal shoulder lines. Then, select a size that matches your shoulder width.
For example, if your shoulder width is 42cm, you can choose a T-shirt with a shoulder width of 42cm or 1-2cm longer.
2.Regular Shoulder Fitted T-Shirt + Skirt
Fitted T-shirts with regular shoulders and a slightly tapered waist are more form-fitting.
When styling, you can adopt the “tight top, loose bottom” approach, increasing the volume of the lower body to highlight the slimness of the upper body while avoiding the top-heavy appearance that overall volume can create.
Fitted T-Shirt + Straight Midi Skirt
When choosing a skirt, prioritize midi lengths.
For example, Bella’s combination of a knee-length straight skirt and high socks reveals just the right amount of skin, creating a comfortable look.
The combination of a fitted T-shirt and a straight skirt inherently carries a slight retro vibe. The crisp, clean design of a straight skirt made from stiff fabric exudes an intellectual elegance while maintaining a neutral and casual feel.
If the straight skirt has a simple cut and a solid color, try to choose a patterned top, such as striped or printed T-shirts. Pay attention to accessorizing with belts, socks, and other details to avoid a monotonous look.
A solid-colored knit T-shirt paired with a denim skirt is also a great choice, full of youthful charm!
Fitted T-Shirt + Satin Maxi Skirt
Satin and acetate fabrics are perfect for summer. Which girl doesn’t love a blingbling glossy look? Pairing them with a thin T-shirt creates a refreshing and textured ensemble.
When matching a fitted T-shirt, a midi to maxi length satin skirt is recommended. Firstly, it won’t appear too thin and increase the sense of cheapness.
Secondly, the flowing long skirt hem can make you more eye-catching and dazzling.
Compared to other fabrics, satin’s smooth surface has a stronger texture and a richer luster.
In monochromatic outfits, the sheen of satin can elevate the sophistication of an otherwise simple combination, making you effortlessly stylish!
A champagne-colored satin skirt is highly recommended. It’s simple, elegant, and timeless, perfectly complementing other champagne-colored accessories or the hardware on your handbag, making you a true urban sophisticate.
Fitted T-Shirt + A-Line Skirt
We often receive messages from our readers saying they have a thick waist and wide hips, making it difficult to wear fashionable clothes.
In that case, we suggest wearing high-waisted A-line skirts to create a better hip-to-waist ratio.
A-line umbrella skirts are even more effective at concealing excess weight. Like the umbrella skirt shown in the picture, the design fits snugly at the waist and hips, and the pleats only start to form the umbrella shape below the hips, making it particularly friendly for those with wide hips.
This light khaki umbrella skirt has a softer, more everyday gentle vibe. Paired with denim and Mary Janes, it exudes a retro Hong Kong style!
For those who love short skirts, consider a short A-line skirt in a suit style. A fitted T-shirt paired with an A-line mini skirt can make you look a size smaller.
3.Loose Dropped Shoulder T-Shirt + Skirt
Dropped shoulder T-shirts are full of trendy and casual vibes.
Although they may not be the most flattering for women with large chests and broad shoulders, mastering styling techniques can help you conceal arm fat while staying fashionable.
Tip 1: Tuck the T-shirt into the skirt
Unless you have a size 0 figure and are tall, loose clothing that isn’t properly tucked into the skirt can easily create a sloppy appearance.
If you don’t want to tuck in the shirt completely, you can tie a knot at the front of the T-shirt using an elastic band.
Tip 2: Add design elements to the skirt
Dropped shoulder T-shirts have a strong casual and trendy feel. To avoid an overall sluggish and lifeless look, focus on enhancing the silhouette and texture of the skirt to balance the casualness of the upper body.
Solid-colored loose T-shirts can be monotonous, so choosing T-shirts with letter decorations or prints will add more vitality.
For example, a slit or ruffle design, or a skirt with unique patterns or colors, can also help divert attention from the upper body.
Tip 3: Loose top, fitted bottom; busy top, simple bottom
When wearing a dropped shoulder T-shirt with trendy prints, minimize the complexity of the skirt. A straight-cut skirt is highly recommended, as it creates a clean and refreshing look when showing off your legs.
Since the printed T-shirt is already quite striking, the skirt’s color should also be carefully selected. It’s best to opt for basic solid colors like black, white, or gray to create a more focused outfit.
That’s all for today’s sharing on T-shirt and skirt outfits. We hope it has provided you with some styling inspiration!
