Fit & Silhouette

A-line

An A-line is a silhouette that's fitted at the top and flares gently toward the hem, forming the shape of a capital letter A. Common in skirts and dresses, it skims the waist and hips and gives a balanced, widely flattering shape.

The A-line works for most body types because it defines the narrowest point — usually the waist — then skims over the hips rather than clinging to them. That makes it a go-to for anyone who wants shape without a body-hugging fit.

A-line skirts and dresses pair easily with fitted tops, which keep the proportion balanced: snug on top, flared below.
