Smocked, ie "gathered" garments are currently all the rage. In addition to tops and bikinis, there are now also skirts with the sophisticated decorations. We are already completely in love with the new fashion pieces. Bet you guys too soon?
The 90s called: They want their smocked clothes back – but we are not ready to release the stylish items! Not only that the ruffles give every simple look that certain something, they are also real figure flatterers! No wonder that smocked skirts are currently so popular with influencers – regardless of whether they are short or long.
The trend explained
"Smok" means gathers created by elastic bands that we already love dearly on dresses, tops or swimwear. Anyone who previously thought that the decorations only looked good on the waist, cleavage or in the arm area will be taught better: Fashionistas are currently emphasizing their hips and buttocks with ruffled skirts and proving that the alleged problem area of many women is perfectly staged with smocked details .
That's how we wear smocked skirts
Because instead of being visually bulky, the ruffled embellishments make the skirts even better to fit our body and draw a perfect line. Curvy model Charlotte Kurth shows how: Instead of the short one, the Berliner took on the long skirt variant. The slit advantageously exposes Charlotte's leg, while the ruffled details emphasize her feminine waistline.
The trend also works "the other way around": If you have a very slim build and dream of sexy curves a la Charlotte Kurth, you can perfect a few curves through smocked skirts.
Styling role models
Do you need more inspiration? No problem: How about this girly look by influencer Camri Hewie, for example. As if smocked skirts didn't exude enough romantic retro vibes, the beauty styles her pink skirt with a matching top and accessories such as a little heart bag and delicate sandals. Admittedly, this look requires courage in fashion.
If that's a touch too much for you, clunky and urban pieces create a cool break. Seen in this way to doctor Sophia Faßnacht. With shoulder pads, sleek hair and a link chain, the look is tough and ultra-modern.
With this look, Leonie Hanne provides a perfect outfit inspo for everyone who wants to be a little more dressed. She styles a romantic blouse in the same shade as the cream-colored midi skirt. The natural-colored accessories ensure a clean look that we can just as easily imagine at work as on a first date or lunch with friends.
Convinced? Then nothing stands in the way of the next shopping tour. In any case, we are sure: every woman looks fantastic in this fashion must-have!
