The Perfect Skirt Shape

No matter who you are, the only skirt shape that I think really works is A-Line. Tight fitted skirts are so aggressive it makes me uncomfortable and those cocoon skirts that I got really into a few years back are nothing but unflattering (and yes, I have a pile staring at me in my closet). But looking at the shape of this quilted leather number and how could it be anything but flattering? The way the skirt flares just so makes your legs look smaller than they might actually be and the quilted leather adds texture without adding bulk. Plus, from Topshop, it's at the right price!
