Garments made of denim seem to be timeless. You buy them and it seems you can wear them season after season without making a fashion faux pas. You may have to change what you pair them with, but for the most part denim is fashions most versatile and timeless fabric. This denim skirt from Catherines is a great piece to add to your warm weather wardrobe. It is stylish and has a number of features that are flattering.

First, of all the straight line silhouette of this skirt is very figure balancing. It helps hide unwanted bulges and curves. The vertical pleats do give a big woman silhouette a slimming effect. The length of this skirt is also great for woman of average to short stature because it helps elongate them, thus slimming them a bit. The skirt also has an elastic waist and a gentle stretch for enhanced fit and comfort.

However, the pockets in the front of this skirt could add bulk to the frame of some women. It also frames you at your widest point and may diminish the slimming effect of the pleats. Plus, the skirt only comes in the one shade of brown so it may not match much of your wardrobe.

Even though we plus sized women have a tendency to wear mid length to long skirts because it is reassuring to us, do not hesitate to experiment with shorter skirts. The fact is that we look more flattering in shorter skirts.
