Skirt Type for Your Body

The leading customizable e-tailer eShakti - experts in finding the perfect fit! Knowing what flatters each body and what doesn't, they've shared 4 Tips for Choosing the Right Skirt Type for Your Body.

The unique (and handy!) thing about eShakti is that unlike all ready-to-wear bands, you can customize each eShakti garment to suit your needs. So if you know you like your skirt flared- that's an option! If you like your skirts at tea length - they can do that! You get the picture. eShakti is about creating a garment that is ideal for your body type.

Their tips are below along with a few suggestions for each body type.

4 Tips for Choosing the Right Skirt Type for Your Body from eShakti

Long Thin Legs


Although your basic impulse may be to opt for a skirt that showcases those legs for days, a very stylish option is wearing a midi, or tea length skirt.  A skirt that falls below the knee and just above the ankle is incredibly classic, feminine and stunning, and if you have the long legs to pull it off, don't shy away from this silhouette!  (Pair with killer heels!)

Shorter Legs

Shorter legs means you get to wear shorter skits!  The ideal length for this body type is one that is cut right above the knee. Showing your knees will visually elongate your legs. A trendy flat and an edgy jacket will complete the look!

Wider Hips

This might sound counterintuitive - but to balance out wide hips wear pencil skirts, but be sure to chose those that are not too tapered at the hemline. And try wearing a statement necklace to draw attention to your upper body!

Narrow Hips

By wearing a full skirt you are visually adding volume below the waistline. This option works wonders if you are looking to visually add a few inches in the hip area. For extra effect, wear a thick belt to cinch in the waist!

How to Dress for Summer

Yes, swimwear, t-shirts, sandals, and shorts are essential.  However, their is even more to know when you want to know how to dress for summer.  You also need to know where to shop, etc.

COURAGE b Introduces Fall Fashion Must Haves

Some great new items for fall are now in. We have scoured them all to find the absolute greatest items to put on a must have list for you to review.  Here are our picks that can be found at COURAGE B:

The Long Sleeved Cashmere T-Shirt

This fall, it doesn't get any better than this. We are so excited to have this in our fall line-up. This T-shirt is absolutely to die for. Made from a mix of luxurious silk, wool and cashmere, this long sleeved T-shirt comes in five different artistic designs each with a distinct colorway. 

This design is both amazingly comfortable and the statement piece of the season. You can pair it with jeans to look like a million bucks while feeling crazy comfortable or toss in over a leather skirt to look drop dead gorgeous while staying toasty warm. You could not ask for a more perfect fall fashion item. This is the piece that will make everyone at every party turn, stare and wonder when you hit it big. 

The shape is so simple, but the artistic design so bold. You will feel like a walking work of art. This is the item you can get creative with while still feeling completely at ease. It will be your guilty little secret that you can look so good while still being so comfortable.

The Cashmere Stole

Half silk and half cashmere, this lovely accessory item comes in the same five artistic designs and distinct colorways as the coordinating long sleeved cashmere T-shirt above. Pair them together for a conservative, upscale look or use this item on its own, separate from the T-shirt, to help keep you warm while raising the bar for your style quotient.

It is a great versatile size that can be slung over one shoulder and belted for warmth, used to fill in an empty coat neckline to keep you fashionably toasty or draped to keep your hair under control in the blustery fall weather. With five different great designs, we can't imagine how you will choose just one. They each make such a great statement. This is what designer clothes for women is all about.

Basic Marcus Pants

This is the "skinny little black pants" of the season. It doesn't just come in black. It comes in several conservative tones and one great geometric pattern. You need at least one of these pants to toss into your Weekender bag. This is one of those staple items. You won't know how you lived without it after you add one to your wardrobe. 

Juliette Skirt

Everyone needs a simple black skirt in their closet and this is the one to buy this fall. A clean lined little skirt is hard to come by. This is a wardrobe basic to take on all your travels. This is the versatile piece that you can dress up or down and can pair with anything from a camisole to a cashmere sweater to adjust for the weather. This is exactly the kind of versatile simplicity you need to make it easy to look great on the go. Whether you are climbing the corporate ladder or just social climbing, you will love this great skirt. It is 5% elastane, making it one of the most comfortable straight skirts you can imagine having while looking great.

Women's Duster

Of course, fall means cooler weather, so this article wouldn't be complete without at least one jacket. Like so many items on our must have list, this elegant, feminine piece is also incredibly comfortable. It's wonderfully simple lines and great choice of colors will make it hard to pick just one. This will go wonderfully well over some of the simple, clean-lined tops and bottoms recommended above or add to your current wardrobe to bring it up a notch while staying warm, comfortable and on the cutting edge of fashion all at the same time. Like with the cashmere T-shirt, we are just really excited to have this piece in our fall lineup. A great, elegant jacket is always a treasured find. Don't miss out on this one.

That's our list of fall fashion must haves. We tried to find items that are not only drop-dead gorgeous, but almost as comfortable as your favorite pair of pajamas. This fall when everyone else is miserable from the weather and looking a little worse for the wear, we hope you shine and wear it well with these great fashion finds.
