Step 1
Look for peasant skirts that come to the most flattering spot on your leg. If you are short, you want to choose something that comes just to the knee. If you are taller and thin, you may be able to wear something that comes a few inches below the knee.
-
Step 2
Pick a skirt that is a bit flared but not too full. You want the skirt to have an A-line, but it shouldn't overpower you with too much fabric.
-
Step 3
Opt for peasant skirts with unique detailing, such as embroidery, sequins or special trims.
-
Step 4
Wear a peasant skirt with a fitted t-shirt or tank top for a casual summer look. Slip on ballet flats or flip-flops for a day of shopping or lunch out.
-
Step 5
Add a cropped cardigan or a snug-fitting sweater to dress up the skirt. You can also wear it with tights and boots to wear it into winter.
-
Step 6
Polish up the look by putting on a shrunken blazer to balance the skirt and give it a new twist.
-
Step 7
Use a big slouchy purse with a peasant skirt to complete the effect.
-
Step 8
Play with colors in your accessories. A bold peasant skirt can handle big jewelry but be careful not to go too overboard or you might end up looking more like a Gypsy than you intended.
