Exploring the Many Ways to Wear This Year’s Bold New Look in Asymmetric Skirts
I believe asymmetry is becoming a new interest in fashions because we are heading into the future. Futuristic designs are being played with to see what we can try next and begin to move into. For instance, Y2K sunglasses are being featured this year along with wraparound mirrored lenses, etc. But today I’m exploring the many different ways to wear asymmetric skirts. After all, age doesn’t matter when you’ve got style!
You don’t have to play up the futuristic element of an asymmetric-hem dress or skirt. It’s easy to create any style when wearing these hemlines, depending on what you pair them with. And besides, there are many variations on asymmetrical hems that are familiar from the past. Some of them are: hanky hem, high low, wrap hem, split hem, curved hem or fishtail skirts and dresses.
And now, in some cases, it’s like wearing a skirt half short and half long. You get the best of both worlds by showing some leg and yet still staying covered.
Generally, most pieces of attire are made to be as symmetrical as possible. That’s because symmetry imparts a feeling of comfort and safety. Wearing items with asymmetrical hemlines will make you stand out. Asymmetry breaks from the status quo and gives you an exotic appeal.
The last couple of summers, I’ve been wearing skirts and dresses on hot days. Recently, I wore my “Way Slinky” set of a tank top and skirt from Southwest Indian Foundation while out shopping and got lots of compliments. Originally, I thought it was simply because I was wearing a skirt which is not the norm in the Midwest. But, come to think of it, I could have been standing out because of the unique hem.
Ways to Wear Asymmetric Skirts
Wear a fitted top with an asymmetric skirt for a classic silhouette. For a casual laid-back look, wear a looser, chunkier top. A billowy top with your skirt is casual but more romantic.
Try pairing the skirt with a draped top, a wrap top, a one-shoulder top or a cold-shoulder top.
For summer, asymmetrical skirts look fab when paired with simple tops, heeled or flat sandals, and matching accessories.
During winter, you can wear them with warm monotone sweaters, tights, and heeled boots.
With a Blouse
Wear a blouse and kitten heels with your skirt to give it a classy touch. On the other hand, a peasant blouse is the casual approach.
With a T-Shirt
You don’t have to have fancy tops or blouses to match your asymmetric skirts. These skirts look fantastic even with plain t-shirts, especially during summers.
Try loosely tucking a t-shirt into the skirt and add a cool belt. If it’s not too warm, wear your favorite booties with it.
With a (Faux) Leather Jacket
Leather jackets + asymmetric skirts = mind blown. This combination is so bold that age doesn’t matter.
With a Sweater
- Evening: A special sweater + an asymmetrical tulle skirt. Add metallic heels, clutch, statement earrings.
With a Turtleneck
- Evening: A fitted turtleneck in a color to match your asymmetrical skirt. Sling a belt over it. Add heels and a clutch.
- A turtleneck sweater in a color to match an asymmetrical skirt. Add biker boots or chunky boots.

You’ve got some really fun and beautiful options here! I like the look of asymentrical…it adds some dimension to a look!
Yes, I agree that asymmetry adds dimension and uniqueness too! Thanks – Angie
I’m really short, 5’ tall, so it’s not a good look for me. But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t love it on taller women. Your first image with the gorgeous model wearing the hot pink skirt is the most stunning outfit ever!
How about my column of dark blue, matching top and bottom from the SW Indian Fdn.? I’m not tall; I’m 5’4. This outfit is lengthening because it is a slim silhouette and all one color; it’s even on the dark side. No pun intended. Lol!
