Skater skirts <shudder>

[PiratePanda]

Dear women of all shapes, sizes and ages everywhere,

Skater skirts look hideous on everybody. For the love of god, please stop.

Yours gratefully

Pirate

Also in my 30s and wear skater dresses. With leggings. Judge away, don't care.
Morphine, you look great.
I'm finding it annoying too, since I've finally found something I feel okay in other than skinny jeans, and I'm not able to buy any more clothes at the moment anyway for financial and other reasons.
And also what Appleby said.

At 34 I don't care what anyone says about what people are wearing anymore.

I wear skater skirts . I am larger than average


And I do actually sometimes skate.

[Giraffeski]

I can't see pics on here as am on the app so this is not directed at Morphine personally but i do also hate skater skirts. I don't think they flatter anybody and they are normally made from really tacky cheap looking fabric too.

I'm a slim 5'10" aged 48 and have one black H&M (cheap!) skater skirt. I only wear it with black opaques and always a long loose fitting top otherwise I look like I'm all legs and I don't like the short skirt & tight top combination on me.

I think it looks cute in a sophisticated way - if that's not an impossibility!

[MegMogandOwlToo]

What a horrible thread!

Skater skirts and dresses suit many people, morphine included.

[PinkSquash]

Morphine, you have great legs btw and the skater skirts really suit you

[Deluge]

They're cute, but too short and girly for me (late 30s and 5'11...I would look pathetic).

[MorphineDreams]

Oh wow thanks for all the support everyone! When I post photos I'm fully aware I might get bad comments especially on a thread so negative to begin with so it's nice to see lovely comments.

[Cat2014]

Morphine they look great on you.

[WilburIsSomePig]

They emphasise one's tummy (yes, even yours, Morphine).

Who the fuck do you think you are Pirate. And tummy? Are you 4?

I would never wear a skater dress/skirt as I would look ridiculous in one, Morphine looks great in hers IMO so I suspect you may be a little jealous (I would love her figure). However, you are not the style police so grow up and stop being such a cow.

[Lagoonablue]

Ok on the right shape. I am 5 foot 9 so too tall. Look like an overgrown school girl in them.

Skirts are tricky. I quite like an a line shape or something on the bias. Probably not fashionable but suits me. I think people should wear what they like but some people could do with a little advice! Some women will wear the latest style regardless of whether it suits them or not.

[Logarhythm]

When the whole skater dress craze started it was suggested that they would be perfect for an hourglass, so I tried a few on - quite a few, nope they didn't, maybe it's my height - too tall....actually I think hourglasses -well, me anyway - don't suit belts around jackets as Gok suggests or skater dresses. IMO the waists don't look small as much as they make the hips and bust look massive, in a frumpy way.

[Bunbaker]

This is my dress. It was recommended to me on MN when I was having a fruitless search for dresses earlier on this year.

Even my very critical 14 year old DD says it looks nice on me. She said it looked better on me than the model. I am flatter of chest than the model, but the cut of the dress adds a few curves.

[Ohwhatfuckeryisthis]

I would look crap in most of them (but Bun, where did you get yours)
Morphine looks lovely, my dd rocks them beautifully.
But OP your post was horribly rude.
Who died and made you queen of everything?

[KoalaDownUnder]

No way does Morphine look overweight in that skirt. It looks great!

I wouldn't wear one (too tall, wrong shape, not my style), but why shouldn't other people wear them if they feel good? Jeez.

[ThisBitchIsResting]

at Upsy Daisy!

They look awful on me, I feel like I'm dressing up as a little girl. I'm 8/10 pear, medium height. Much prefer a short A-line shift type thing, Goat / Victoria Beckham style dress. Anything with a defined waist just doesn't work on me, I look simultaneously little girly and matronly.

It seems to me that most skater skirts / dresses I see are ponte / cheap polyester or poly chiffon jobs, with poorly finished hems. Which will always look cheap. The sort of thing that looks great when you're 15.

[AmberNectarine]

Not tried a skater skirt but the dresses do suit me. Small waist, flattish stomach, big old arse.

[MotherOfFerals]

I bought a skater skirted dress ages ago but it made me feel like Upsy Daisy.

[temporaryusername]

Morphine you look really fabulous in those and very slim. Proof they can look good as far as I'm concerned. If you're overweight I think I'd better call myself a bariatric ambulance.

[Sicaq]

I like them. But Imam very short and they are one of the few skirt shapes that doesn't swamp my lower half.

[Bunbaker]

I have a knee length skater dress and it suits my pear shape beautifully. I always get compliments when I wear it.

I am 55.

[EmmanuelWoganberry]

Well I think they look great on everyone, better than the standard skinny jeans that so many people are walking around in in this heat

[burnishedsilver]

I love them on the hanger but I look awful in them. They emphasise all my worst bits.

[Logarhythm]

Morphine you do not look fat! Skater skirts do not suit everyone - but Morphine you can certainly wear them!

[MollySolverson]

Yes, morphine, you do! And your waist looks teeny tiny!
