Anyone who knows me will know that I'm almost always in skirts or dresses, so even though it is early April, I gladly take on the challenge of integrating skirts into my cold-weather wardrobe. And this season I've been enamoured by the span of strong offerings. You likely note the recurring trends—from leather skirts (an annual resurgence synonymous with cooler weather) to voluminous and linen skirts, in addition to the fresh trends of 2025, namely tailored pieces and parachute skirts. When it comes to styling these skirt trends for summer, the options are aplenty, with a combo out there to suit every occasion and aesthetic.
I tend to adjust proportions depending on what style of skirt I'm wearing. As you'd expect with the season, extended hemlines tend to feel most weather-appropriate but while the weather behaves, I can get away with wearing them bare-legged paired with outerwear to ensure warmth and comfort. I like the option of pairing elevated basics with form-fitting suede skirts and cinched-in blazers with full voluminous skirts and while we're thinking outside of the box, why not pair your skirts with jackets in a matching hue, for a uniform look? All things considered, it's evident I don't have to sacrifice one of the most loved pieces in my arsenal this season. Continue reading for five elegant skirt outfits I intend to wear from here on out.
5 Elegant Skirt Outfits I'll Be Wearing This Winter:
1. Linen Skirt + Matching Linen Shirt + Boho Jewellery
Style Notes: Like Monikh, opt for light fabrics like linen, paired with a matching shirt for an effortlessly chic finish.
Shop the Look:
A linen shirt can be paired with so many different outfits and will quickly become a core wardrobe staple.
This skirt has gone to the top of my wishlist.
A cord pendant necklace is back in at the moment.
A simple yet chic flip-flop that will become one of your most-loved pieces.
4. Denim Midi Skirt + Waistcoat + Chunky Sandals
Style notes: A denim skirt is a staple piece in any wardrobe and its versatility solidifies why it's a must have. By adding a waistcoat, it instantly elevates the look, while the chunky sandal keeps it casual enough for everyday.
Shop the Look:
For spring, opt for a lighter fabric like linen.
A black denim skirt is so easy to dress up or down.
I love this padded Gucci sandal to make a statement.
Sunglasses are a staple when it comes to the warmer months.
3. Blazer + Full Skirt + Mary Jane Platforms
Style Notes: Our very own Maxine Eggenberger is a prime example of refined elegance and she donned this classic ensemble to London Fashion Week. The outfit comprised fitted elements to free-flowing skirting, with sleeved coverage that works well for the change of seasons.
Shop the Look:
A waisted, collarless blazer would be perfect for this look.
The taught waistband transforms this white midi skirt into a formal piece.
A Mary-Jane is a timeless classic.
I have it on good authority that this handbag is worth every penny.
4. White Column Skirt + Bandeau Top + Mules
Style Notes: This is such a gorgeous evening-ready look courtesy of Sylvie. A bandeau top looks beautiful paired with a column skirt, and heeled mules finishes it off perfectly.
Shop the Look:
A beautiful piece that will also go with jeans and wide-leg trousers.
Wardrobe.NYC does the best basics.
These will never go out of style.
5. White Skirt + Grey Tee + Grey Cardigan + Flip Flops
Style Notes: You might not think flip flops could look elegant, but Taffy is here to prove you wrong! She expertly styles hers with a white midi skirt, grey tee and a cardigan (it is the UK after all!) and the result is a very chic look that is sophisticated and simple all in one.
Shop the Look:
COS's clean cut t-shirt is one of the best we've tried.
Such a fantastic price.
You can always wear this with jeans and dresses!
Red makes for a nice pop of colour to an otherwise monochrome look.
