The Miniskirt

• Miniskirts come in a variety of different colors, styles and fabrics, but their length consistently remains the same -- short. Pair a denim miniskirt with a basic T-shirt for a laid-back, casual look. If you are seeking a more dressy approach to a shorter skirt, then pair a loose, sequined top with a bubble mini-skirt. Bubble skirts slightly poof outward but gather at the bottom to create a bubble-like effect.
  
  

The Knee-Length Skirt

• Knee-length skirts are the most commonly worn style because of their versatility. Pencil skirts, flared skirts and basic cotton skirts all come in this length. Pair a tailored knee-length skirt with a bold patterned blouse for a more polished look, or a pleated skirt with a simple tee for a more casual approach.
  
  

The Mid-Length Skirt

• Mid-length skirts can be tricky, especially for petite women. This skirt is often best suited for women who are taller so the hem will hit right at the calf. Shorter women who want to wear the mid-length skirt can wear a high heel or wedge to give themselves height. Pair a tailored, high-waisted skirt with a sleeveless top or sheer, flowy top to balance the body. Loose, sheer flowing skirts should be paired with a more form-fitting shirt so the body does not look lost in a sea of clothing.
  
  

The Full-Length Skirt

• Full-length skirts can be worn by everyone, regardless of shape, size or height. Pair a bold, floor-grazing skirt with a basic white tee and cropped jean jacket for a casual day look. Dress up the look by purchasing a long ruffled skirt to wear with a flowered or sequined top and high heels. Long skirts, unlike other lengths, can often play double duty as a dress or skirt because of the length. When shopping, look for an elastic waist that will allow you to create two outfits from one skirt - a shirt and skirt combination and a strapless dress.
