Winter is just around the corner and I couldn't be more excited. Freshly topped up with inspiration from the fashion crowds in Milan, Paris, New York and London, I'm ready to cast aside my light leavy layers and indulge in some fresh pieces. Newly inspired by all the leopard print, I've spotted on some of the chicest women and runways lately, I'm in the market for a statement skirt in the trending pattern. Having seen it styled up for fancy occasions and dressed down for casual looks, this current yet timeless print is proving to be one of the most versatile of the season.
As such, I've found four of the chicest styles on the market. In a trending midi length, these skirts all offer endless styling options, but if you're looking for some concise outfit inspiration, read on to discover the very tasteful (if I do say so myself) ways I'll be wearing my leopard print skirt this autumn.
HOW I'M WEARING LEOPARD-PRINT SKIRT THIS SEASON:
1. SLIP SKIRT + WHITE SHIRT + MULES
Style Notes: For daily styling, no combination is chicer than a wool coat and midi skirt. Tapping into the leopard print trend, this longline skirt does all the hard work for you, meaning that it pairs well with wardrobe basics such as shirts to complete the look. To add further new-season edge, pop on some mules.
SHOP THE LOOK:
A premium looking high street piece.
Keep it simple with a classic white shirt.
Ganni's leopard print skirt has been doing the rounds.
These refined mules are the perfect way to dip your toe (literally) into the trend.
Don't underestimate the outfit-elevating power of a classic black belt.
2. JUMPER + MINI SKIRT + KNEE-HIGH BOOTS
Style Notes: One of my favourite autumn styling formulas is a slouched cashmere knit and fitted mini skirt. This coherent and streamlined silhouette looks elevated every time and dresses up easily with knee-high boots and gold jewels.
SHOP THE LOOK:
An elevated knit you'll span plenty of wear out of.
Wear with chic ballet flats or colourful trainers.
This sculptural bag is an easy way to add some interest into a casual look.
Oversized earrings are always a good idea.
In my opinion, these are the perfect winter boots.
3. RUFFLED SKIRT + BLACK TOP + BURGUNDY ACCESSORIES
Style Notes: Mark my words: this winter, every Londoner will be styling their leopard print pieces with trainers. This simple combination taps into growing and enduring trends for an elevated look that will have you feeling comfortable and put together every single time.
SHOP THE LOOK:
Trust me: this is the perfect elevated basic.
Leopard print skirts are trending right now, and this is one of my favourites.
Burgundy bags are trending this season, and this elegant shoulder bag is at the top of my wish list.
An additional layer awash with this trend-forward hue.
These interlinking jewels are bound to elevate every ensemble.
A perfect shade match for the handbag.
4. MIDI SKIRT + CARDIGAN + TRENCH + TRAINERS
Style Notes: A fitted cardigan will complement the printed skirt whilst keeping you cosy, and once you add easy trainers there's something so irresistibly nonchalant about this outfit.
Shop the Look:
This wool cardigan is lightweight yet supremely cosy.
This skirt is in a classic bias cut.
There's still time to squeeze wear out of your trench coat.
This also comes in a red shade.
Every jewellery box deserves a pair of great gold hoops.
