Yesterday I talked about jeans as a go-to bottom half choice for the chunky.
Today let's bring in a touch of femininity to offset the masculine line of the chunky knit.
Yin and yang and all that eh.
Skirts
Yes, I believe the feminine shape of a skirt offsets the slight masculinity of the chunky top shape.
A simple shape works to avoid extra bottom bulk. But be careful with the length.
Shortish, yes. Longish, yes. In the middle, no! Trust me, I tried and the result is extremely boxy in shape.
. So here I wore my chunky with my straight black leather skirt, not too short as to showcase my never-to-be-shown knees, but merely providing a little bottom pelmet to the chunky.
The knee boots gave this OOTD a 60s vibe, reminiscent of the early 60s Sloppy Joe - does anyone remember that one?!
I kept the jewellery to zero and simply accessorised with a cute hot pink bag from Accessorize, a Christmas pressie!
Join me tomorrow when I up the feminine vibe, adding florals to my chunky.
A la perchoine,

Cute outfit :) Lise
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the bulky top/skinny bottom solution. Only way to go, me thinks. Loving the bright pink and black combo. I suppose navy is a good alternative to the black but black is my favourite in this combo. I am not ready yet for bright colours but never say never...
ReplyDeleteOooh la la with that straight leather skirt! This is fabulous! Look at you hottie!!!
