Sorry to My Jeans-and Fancy-Top Combo, But This Two-Part Outfit Looks Way Richer

If you take just one glance at my Instagram, you'll see that I am a jeans devotee through and through. But even I like to change it up once in a while—especially during the winter months when it feels like I'm practically living in denim. There is, however, a two-piece outfit formula that I can't get enough of right now and has the power to pull me away from my trusty denim and fancy top outfits. The combo is not only elegant and elevated but is also easy to pull off. I'm talking about a sweater-and satin-skirt pairing (perfect for numerous occasions) day or night. And I'm not the only one to lean into the chic two-part outfit formula. I've been spotting the rich-looking pairing on stylish celebrities and fashion people alike—especially throughout the festive season, as it oozes a casual yet sophisticated vibe.
If you want to give your jeans a break for a hot minute, then take a look below as I highlight some outfit inspiration featuring sweaters and satin skirts. Now, go on to see all my favorite shopping picks to achieve the luxurious look.
