What to look for: Tulip, bubble or mermaid skirts to add the illusion of curvy hips to a boyish frame, Polk says. Have fun with pleats, layers, ruching and ruffles (just not all at once, please!).

What to avoid: Straight styles that don’t create any curves. A slim pencil skirt is a no-no. Look for fuller styles to add volume and help fill out your figure.
