Style advice for the Claudie Skirt
The Claudie Skirt for O-types
The perfect skirt for your body shape is straight or slightly flared. Claudie adds a touch too much volume around the waistline. Is your heart still set on dazzling in this skirt? In that case, be sure to pick a fabric with a fluid drape, so that the skirt falls nice and straight.

Select a fabric with a fluid drape, but that isn't too thin, such as viscose, crepe, jersey, or satin.
The Claudie Skirt for H-types
Your figure looks best in straight or slightly flared skirts. The skirt's pleats and circular shape add an excess of volume to your lower body. That throws your figure’s proportions out of whack, which is why you should make the skirt in a fabric with a fluid drape. The pleats will be less rigid, and the skirt won’t be quite as full.
Emphasise your legs more by making the skirt knee length. Go for a neutral colour or a fabric with vertical or diagonal stripes. And geometric shapes? They’re definitely a go!
The perfect combo: the Claudie skirt with a V-neck top (hint: the Alice jumper with the V-neck at the front).
The Claudie Skirt for A-types
A-types have a clear waistline, which makes the Claudie skirt your new best friend! The Claudie draws attention to your waist and cleverly conceals your wide hips.
Choose a top with a structured shoulder line to make your shoulders look wider and give you a balanced figure overall.
The colour of your skirt shouldn’t be too flashy, but for the top, you can go all out with a bold or light colour.
The Claudie Skirt for X-types
Your body is naturally well-proportioned. Your shoulders and hips are more or less the same widths and you have a clear waistline, which is why you should pick garments that follow your body's natural curves and highlight your waist as much as possible. You look fantastic in all kinds of different styles. That said, always make sure you retain your figure's naturally balanced proportions.
Combo tip: pair the Claudie skirt with a top that makes the shoulders look broader, e.g. the Afra top with its boat neck and horizontal stripes. The A-line skirt accentuates your waist even more. Lastly, the top's gorgeous neckline gives your outfit the perfect finishing touch.
Go for a fabric that gracefully hugs your natural curves but that still offers the right amount of structure. For instance, linen, crepe and cotton, etc. are excellent options.
The Claudie Skirt for I-types
Your body shape is slender and ‘pencil’ shaped. I-types lack a waistline, so the objective is to create the illusion of curves. You can achieve that effect by pairing the Claudie skirt with a top that makes your shoulders look broader.
Your perfect pair? Combine the Claudie skirt with the Afra top. The gorgeous horizontal stripes and boat neck make your shoulders look broader, which makes your waist look smaller. That’s a win-win!
Go for cotton, linen, cotton satin, or satin. Fabrics that are too flimsy are a no-go because they don't add any structure to your body.
The Claudie Skirt for 8-types
The perfect skirt for full hourglasses is a straight or pencil skirt, or a skirt that flares at the hem. The Claudie skirt creates too much volume just under the waist and hips, which is why you should go for a fabric with a fluid drape that doesn’t billow.
Pair the skirt with a top that has a pretty neckline, for example a V-neck, scooped or cowl neck. Oversized tops are a no-go.
Opt for fabrics with a loose, fluid drape, such as crepe, silk, satin, fine knits, etc. The fabric should follow your curves.
The Claudie Skirt for V-types
V-types have fairly wide shoulders compared to their lower body. Your body shape's goal? Make your shoulders look narrower! That means draw the focus away from the shoulders and deflect it to the lower body instead. The flared shape of the Claudie skirt does that perfectly!
It adds plenty of volume at the hips but may be slightly too wide at the hem, making your lovely slender legs look too narrow. Remedy that by making the skirt in a fabric with a fluid drape.
Pair the Claudie skirt with a dark top. You want your slender legs to be the stars of the show, so don’t make the skirt too long.
