Hello loves!
Haven’t we all gone through days where we picked out a trendy outfit from our favorite store, dressed in it on a nice day, and walked out in style, only to have someone point out: Hey! Don’t you think this outfit doesn’t suit your body type???
Well, believe me or not, not only me but many of my skinny friends have also faced criticism for their sartorial choices and it really baffles me. Why can’t we appreciate our fellow humans? Why do we have to really judge their clothing choices?
That’s why I started the Curvy Style Guide series on my blog a few years ago to share certain trends and styles that people typically advise curvy divas to “not wear.” But I believe that if you choose your clothes carefully, there is no trend that you can’t flaunt with confidence.
In today’s post, I share one of those trends: front zipper skirt – which although considered too daring, is a great choice to flaunt your curves. I chose this trendy skirt from ZARA that has an exposed front zipper and a striped waistband.
The best thing about this skirt is that it can be easily styled from work to party, just by changing a top and accessories. I styled my zipper skirt for a party look, pairing it with a white off-the-shoulder top from Forever New and ankle-strap wedges from Nine West. Beautifully completing my party look was this trendy Michael Kors crossbody bag, which is my favorite bag these days for parties and dinners.

The key to styling a zipper front skirt is to choose a style that is fun but not too flashy, and not to go overboard with too many zippers. While wearing a similar skirt, make sure not to wear other exposed zippers, or you will end up looking vulgar.
Zippers can help shape your body, so choose a style that connects in the center (like mine) as it will make you look slimmer.
You’ll also find skirts that have zipper tabs on both ends, so you can wear them in multiple ways by choosing a custom split depending on your mood or the occasion.
So, have you tried the exposed zipper trend yet? If yes, let me know how you like to style yours in the comments below.
