Constructed to grace the female body, the A-line silhouette has a well-deserved rep for being universally flattering and comfortable to wear. The triangular shape highlights the body by balancing “the cinch” with a voluminous drape—and, of course, its ease of movement. After seasons of effort-inducing garments like corsetry and Y2K micro-minis, slipping into an A-line feels like a breath of fresh air.
Whether the tip of the “A” starts high at the neck or at the waist, the flattering quality remains. For baby-doll and empire waistlines, the cinch starts right under the bust and flows out, enhancing the décolleté, creating elegant movement and conveying a sense of nostalgic innocence—one that welcomes twirling on the dance floor and frolicking through the fields. That playful spirit is balanced with an inherent stoic quality that traces its history to the courts of Napolean I, when empire waists became fashionable only after centuries of body-altering corsets. With high-waist A-line skirts, comfort level is still maximized—swathes of fabric descend in airy abundance, flowing out and over the legs and producing a feeling of liberating nakedness, yet with full coverage. As warmer weather approaches, stay beautifully comfortable with our A-line favorites below.
