10 Skirt Outfit Ideas You Need to Recreate
Wondering how to style a skirt? From pairing mini skirts & chic button-ups to effortless matching sets, we’ve rounded up our favorite skirt outfits.
How to Style a skirt
The first rule of thumb when styling a skirt is to recognize the season you're styling for. A denim skirt can be worn with a tee and white sneakers in the summer, or with knee- high boots and an oversized knit for the fall. It's also important to understand what looks best (and feels the most comfortable!) for your body. Wearing separates is all about proportions - if you like to elongate your legs, utilize this opportunity to do so with a high-waisted mini skirt and cropped top! If you want to show off your torso and arms, wear a tight tank top with a flowing midi skirt. Also, be sure to keep in mind that you can style a skirt for any weather with the proper accessories, like tights and shoes. Here are some things to consider when putting together an outfit featuring a skirt:
Balance your outfit.
Keep the proportions of your outfit in mind as you choose what to wear. When wearing a flowy skirt, pair it with a tighter blouse, tank top or sweater to help balance out your silhouette. If you’re opting for a form-fitting skirt, choose a loose top to accentuate your curves and show off your legs. You know your body best, so play around with different separates to find the most flattering look.
Wear tights.
Keep your legs warm during the winter by pairing your skirt with a pair of tights. Pro tip: wear tights under a midi or maxi skirt (even if you can't see them!) for extra warmth during the colder months. For a classic look, style your skirt with sheer or opaque black tights. For a 90's inspired look, pair a plaid mini with tights and loafers. If you’re feeling bold, especially around the holidays, incorporate tights with patterns or lurex sparkles to add some flair to your outfit. Wearing tights ensures you can wear your fabulous skirt all year round.
Choose the right shoes.
The perfect pair of shoes can make or break an outfit. If you’re going for a more elevated look, style a ruched mini skirt with a sexy pair of stilettos to elongate your legs. For a more casual look, pair a denim skirt with a pair of white sneakers or booties in the fall. The versatility of skirts is truly endless, so just keep in mind the occasion you're dressing for and pick your shoes from there.
Cute Skirt Outfits That Are Simple But Chic
Midi skirts are a versatile option with the perfect balance between high and low. You can pair a midi skirt with boots and a sweater to transition your style into fall, or wear a midi skirt with sneakers and a t-shirt for that effortless cool girl vibe. For an elegant look, opt for a matching set, like our Printed Kai Slit Midi Skirt and Printed Maya One-Shoulder Top. Hitting the beach? Try a coverup midi skirt with a sexy slit. Play with proportions and dress down a midi skirt by pairing it with an oversized sweater or button down.
Versatile Maxi Skirt Outfits You’ll Love
Maxi skirts are super romantic, fashion forward and make a big statement. The best part about a maxi skirt is that it can be styled in so many ways, so you're good to go no matter the weather or event. Pair a high-neck halter tank top with a flowy maxi skirt and sandals to keep you cool during the warmer months. For a twist on a classic, style a maxi skirt with an oversized blazer and heels or a blouse.
What Will Your Go-To Skirt Outfit Be?
With the end of the summer coming to a close, skirts allow for endless styling opportunities for those transitional months. Whether it’s throwing on a matching set or pairing a mini skirt with a chic blouse, you'll always look put together in a skirt. To transition to fall, style a denim skirt with a sweater and high boots, or rock a midi skirt with booties and a jacket.
