Q. I’m under 5ft, a size 14/16 and over 50. What length of skirt do I wear since I now only wear flatish type shoes. Do I wear a short skirt, knee length or a skirt to my ankles.
-Skirt Concerned
A. For your age and petite height, avoid long skirts that hit around the ankles, they will only stunt your height and make you appear even shorter. Obviously avoid the mini since you’re not in your 20’s or 30’s. Look for skirts that are not too voluminous that hit just below the knee. The length will balance your proportions better and just because you’re wearing “flatish” shoes, don’t give up on choosing stylish shoes whether they’re flats or kitten heels.
