A skirt can also refer to the bottom half (skirt) portion of a dress, not just necessarily a separate skirt.
A-Line Skirt

Modern version of an A-Line skirt is being called a skater skirt right now.
Note also the "A" shape it creates on the model.
Tea Length Skirt

This is a beautiful length, creeping back into our closets...cross my fingers.
Tiered Skirt

Think of a peasant skirt from the 90's, I know you had one.
Layered Skirt

A Layered Skirt has layers that are separate and distinct, hence creating layers. I think of several skirts on top of each other.
BCBG is really into the layered skirt design.
Car-wash Skirt

The Alexander McQueen example is fantastic in showing the width and repetition of strands you would find in a car wash.
This one is extremely exciting to wear, swish...swish!
