Flared Skirt

Generally, flared skirts are shorter but honestly, the length is not as important. It should be widely pleated, hence the flare. These kinds of skirts would particularly look cute on girls with a petite body-type. It's very romantic and girlish!

Mini Skirt

Mini skirts doesn't always have been tight, as we have come to expect from all the block-buster films. It can even be flared like the one in the picture below.
Also, another tip is that while plain ones can't really go wrong, opt for printed ones during spring-summer, they'll definitely make you stand out.

Long Skirt

Long skirts typically start from above the navel and go down till the ankles. An everyday girl may find it hard to style these skirts but they are actually some of the easiest ones out there as they demand so less, even in the accessories department. Some of the best long skirts can be found in Sarojini and Lajpat Nagar.

Pencil Skirt

We can't remember a time when pencil skirts were not around. You don't see them in a trend list because they have an evergreen quality to them (ever since the 1930's). You can wear them to work, for casual day-outs or even formal evenings; and because they are available in so many patterns, you'll never get bored of shopping for them.
