I Have Smart, Classic Taste—6 Midi-Skirt-and-Jumper Outfits I Rely On in Winter
A midi skirt might not be the first thing you reach for when it comes to building a winter outfit, but Instagram's best-dressed have been making a pretty good case for the calf-skimming hemlines lately. While each person offers their own spin on the wardrobe staple, the uniting theme seems to be wearing your skirt of choice with a stylish jumper, be it a chunky roll-neck, ribbed fabric or a pop of paintbox brights. The midi-skirt-and-jumper look has become a particular favourite of fashion minimalists such as Alexis Foreman and Brittany Bathgate, who tend to stick to versatile colourways of navy, cream and black. And the result? And super-chic look that massively satisfies my smart, classic taste.
Another uniting theme is contrasting textures, and the simplest of pairings can become instantly elevated when you experiment with fabrics. I'm thinking about Alexis's leather-skirt-and-wool-jumper get-up and Monikh Dale's tulle-skirt-and-chunky-crew-neck pairing, both of which pack their own personality but feel undeniably pulled together. So if you're not sure how to wear your favourite midi skirt as the mercury drops, feel free to use the below outfits to spark your imagination. Scroll down for the 6 midi-skirt and jumper outfits to try this winter.
1. White Roll-Neck + Navy Midi Skirt
Style Notes: I love the classic pairing of cream and navy, especially with the addition of chunky leather boots. Cool, stylish, cosy and just perfection.
SHOP THE LOOK:
A heavyweight skirt is a must-have during a cold snap.
2. Fitted Turtleneck + Silky Slip Skirt
Style Notes: Slip skirts can look really sophisticated if you pair them with a smart turtleneck and a pair of classy black boots, as Chloe proves.
SHOP THE LOOK:
So chic.
3. Leather Midi Skirt + Oversized Knit + Knee-High Boots
Style Notes: A leather skirt and oversized jumper in matching colourways are an easy way to make a statement, as seen on Alexis. Plus, have you seen those amazing knee-high boots? I'm in love...
SHOP THE LOOK:
This A-line fit is stunning.
4. Tutu Midi Skirt + Chunky Crew-Neck
Style Notes: For a low-key party look, make like Monikh and throw on a chunky crew-neck knit over a frothy tulle midi skirt.
SHOP THE LOOK:
5. Cable Knit + Full Skirt
Style Notes: I'm a big fan of neutral knits and full skirts. This casual take on the outfit combo is particularly great for weekends.
SHOP THE LOOK:
This buttery cream shade is divine.
This shaping is so classic.
Just a little pop of colour.
6. Slouchy V-Neck + Circle Skirt
Style Notes: There's something so old-school Hollywood about circle skirts. Team yours with a slouchy jumper for a more modern look.
SHOP THE LOOK:
Look to Me+Em for elevated knitwear styles.
Navy works well with just about every colour (yes, even black).
