Yep, it’s fashion week again and there are a lot of…um… interesting designs being paraded up and down those New York runways. Don’t get me wrong, I love the thrill of seeing new fashion unveiled as much as the next gal, but I also love wearing clothes that are figure-flattering on me, a woman who can’t remember ever wearing a size 0.
Fortunately, there are still plenty of options for us curvy gals. Even as the silhouette du jour changes, a-line skirts stick around and for good reason; they’re figure flattering on average-shaped women — not just runway models. The shape glides over our thighs and derrières while also making our waistlines look slimmer!
So, for a skirt that will look great on you and not just the hanger, check out this eyelet border, circle skirt from Isaac Mizrahi. It’s available in black and brown, in sizes 2-18, and it’s now on clearance for just $14.99!

Yes, I’m still a big fan of denim skirts and for good reason. A dark, knee-length denim skirt like this one from Jeanstar is great for those times when you want to dress up a bit without feeling overdressed.
This versatile skirt is now $29.99 and eligible for Amazon’s Super Save Shipping.
Sizes 4-16 are available in the dark rinse featured above as well as a lighter rinse.

Pencil skirts are a favorite style for women who love to accentuate their curves a la Marilyn Monroe. This is a style where quality is especially important, though. Thin cloth and poorly sewn seams are easy to spot. Fortunately, you can find skirts that are priced cheap without looking cheap.
This XOXO pencil skirt is now only $9.99, marked down from $29.98, and it got rave reviews from Amazon users who called it “the perfect pencil skirt” and “a must have skirt”. High praise, low cost — that’s what I call a bargain!
This skirt comes in both black and white. Sizes 0-14 are available.

If you love skirts like I do, then you probably know how great denim skirts are for casual days when you just don’t feel like wearing jeans or shorts. But as great as denim skirts are in theory, most seem to be either too juvenile or too dowdy.
That’s why I love this skirt from Carabella. It’s knee-length which means that it will look age-appropriate whether you’re 18 or 80. The dark wash is slimming and makes it easier to dress up, while the multi-colored adds character without being overpowering.
Originally a few cents shy of $90, it’s now just $15! It’s available in sizes 8-14 and ships worldwide.

The classic pencil skirt is the work horse of a working gal’s closet, easily giving it a low cost-per-wear. Therefore, it’s easy to justify paying a little more for quality.
However, with so many available you might not think that one for $68 is a real bargain unless it was pretty special.
This one is.
This Bod-a-Bing pencil skirt from Spanx may be the only pencil skirt you’ll ever want to wear. According to Spanx, “The secret liner minimizes bulges and blemishes in the tummy, rear and thighs.” Plus, it’s machine washable and wrinkle-resistant!
It’s available in sizes X-small to X-large in black, as well as in chocolate brown in size small.

The black pencil skirt is so classic, so sophisticated, so… in need of a little twist.
Sure, it doesn’t seem like a huge leap to make one in gray, but it’s a great idea that is rarely realized. The gray is just as versatile as the black — and then some because it’s easier to wear during the day and to more casual events.
Pair it with bright spring colors for a fun modern look, or with black and white for easy elegance.
It’s just $24.99 and available in sizes 10-16.
Ships to the U.S. and APO/FPO addresses.

A dark-wash, denim skirt like this one from Liz Claiborne is an easy way to bridge the gap between casual and dressy. This classic A-line skirt goes just as well with a t-shirt and sandals as it does with pumps and a blouse — all for just $25.99.
The skirt is 24 inches long, a great length for both petite and taller gals since it’ll hit about knee-length on most women. Sizes 2-16 are available; ships to the U.S., APO/FPO addresses, and U.S. protectorates.

Season after season, plaid is rediscovered — and this fall is no exception. This classic pattern has been a part of too many trends to count, but paired with a classic cut it’s the epitome of timeless sophistication.
This Necessary Objects plaid pencil skirt is a far cry from tawdry plaid miniskirts or the dowdy plaid skirts worn as part of school uniforms. This is how grown women do plaid: knee-length with a bold plaid on a great fabric.
It will liven up your work wardrobe and can be worn with any of the colors in the plaid — blue, black, white or gray.
It’s now just US$28.64, down from $44. Sizes S-L; ships to U.S. only.
