What Is An A-Line Skirt?

A-Line skirts are a wardrobe staple, valued for their flattering fit, which accentuates the waist. They are fitted at the hips and gradually widen towards the hem, giving the impression of the capital letter A. Hence the name, A-Line skirt.

The term orginates to couture dresses by Dior, and Yves Saint Laurent, in the 1950's, who featured dresses, that flared in an A-Shape from the shoulder.

The A-Line style was revived in the late 90's, with the hip hugging A-Line skirt, in particular, becoming popular.
