"Four taboos" for women wearing skirts:

Skirts are beautiful in style and elegant to wear, which can show off the slim curves of a woman's waist. Therefore, skirts are a favorite clothing item for most women. But you have to be particular about wearing skirts.

One taboo is to avoid petticoats that are too short. The fabrics of various colorful skirts are becoming lighter and cooler with each passing day. Some people make their petticoats too short for the sake of coolness or to save materials. In this way, one skirt looks like two different colors from the outside, which affects the overall beauty of the clothing. A more appropriate petticoat should be about 3 cm shorter than the outer skirt.

Second, avoid lifting skirts. Women riding bicycles are uniquely attractive in long skirts, but it is very inconvenient to ride a bicycle.

Therefore, it is best not to wear long skirts when riding at work.

Three taboos are to avoid squatting casually. Women wearing skirts should squat or sit down gracefully and avoid bad postures. For example, when squatting, don't let your skirt hang down, don't expose your thighs and underwear, and keep your legs together when sitting. Don't spread your legs when wearing short skirts.

The four taboos are unsightly and undignified.

For example, some people go shopping in pajamas and pajamas, some walk through the city shirtless, some wear fancy clothes and walk into solemn conference rooms, some wear shorts and vests to attend elegant concerts, and some wear trousers and vests to attend elegant concerts. The clothes are "upper winter, lower summer" and so on.
