Women's Knee-Length Skirts
A hem that stops at the knee has nowhere to hide, so the cut above it carries the entire shape. Pencil skirts taper from hip to hem and keep everything close; A-line and flared cuts release from the waist and swing; straight skirts split the difference and fall clean. Pleating changes the arithmetic again, with knife pleats holding a vertical line, box pleats adding breadth across the hip and accordion pleats moving with every step.
Wraps, buttoned fronts and slits decide how much leg the skirt shows once it is in motion, while a high waist shifts the proportion above the hem rather than where the hem lands. Suiting wool and gabardine press to a sharp edge, denim and cotton twill hold their structure, and satin, crepe and leather each drape or stand in their own way. Knits follow the body most closely of all.
