Long skirts are all the rage this Fall, but some people may not know the latest trends or how to wear one. With so many options and ways to wear a skirt, it can be challenging to know where to start.
Whether you wear your dress when it's hot or a bit chilly, with a pair of shoes or sandals, here is everything you need to know about the long skirt trend.
Styling a Long Skirt
Styling a long skirt isn't as difficult as you may think, but there are a few things you should remember when wearing one and creating an outfit around one.
One of the best ways to wear a skirt is to contrast it. Choose a skirt that has a bright floral pattern or is a bright color, and then combine it with other items and layers that are a neutral color, such as greys, blacks, browns, or something similar.
On the other hand, if you have a bright top or jacket, opt for a skirt that is a more neutral color. Remember, mixing and matching patterns and colors can be tough to pull off; therefore, stick to one item being the bright one.
Adding a pair of heels is an easy way to turn a skirt into something more formal. Considering skirts are made to be worn at multiple events, changing your top and what you wear on your feet can take your outfit from a relaxed look to a fancy night look.
The heels you pick can also change how your outfit looks. If you opt for something a bit strappy and relaxed, you will have a great semi-formal look. If you opt for proper heels, you will have fun but the high-fashion outfit.
Add a Jacket
When it gets a bit chilly, add a jacket of some kind for a slightly bohemian or grunge look. Jackets are also a simple way to dress up or down, as well as take your outfit in a different direction depending on where you are going or what you are doing.
Wear with Sneakers
You can wear sneakers with basically anything, but wearing them with a dress is a fun and playful way to add something different to your out. Sneakers are also great if you are planning on going out during the day, and changing them into heels will give you an instant night look.
Combining a strappy top with sandals is great for a summer or beach to look if you want that boho or beach look. In Fall, opt for a button-up shirt or a jacket if you get a bit cold, but keep the sandals for a relaxed and comfortable look.
Trending Long Skirts
When it comes to long skirt trends , there are a few you should keep your eye on this Fall. Like most seasons, there are a few classics making a comeback and some new trends that will quickly take over.
Florals are a classic design that has reached their level of popularity due to how fun yet stylish the designs are. For Fall and the colder months, opt for warm colors such as oranges and greens.
For a nighttime look, colors such as brown, black and blue are great for a sleek look that is still relaxed and comfortable.
Bold Colors
As mentioned already, choosing a skirt that is a bright and bold color doesn't mean you will look like you are trying too hard; it is all about pairing the right items together to ensure the color pops but also ensures your outfit doesn't look like it's "too much."
If your top, jacket, and shoes are calmer and more neutral in colors, your outfit will look balanced but still be as colorful as you want it.
The early 2000s style is back and better than ever. Back in the day, it was all about denim, bold patterns, and mini skirts. Nowadays, people are bringing back those looks but with a modern twist.
While a full denim skirt just isn't stylish anymore, you can still channel your young Christin Aguilera or Alanis Morrisette for a more modern hippy or boho-chic style.
Pleated skirts are certainly not something from the modern era; however, they are from a time of vintage style. While pleated skirts aren't for everyone, if you are trying to channel your inner 50s movie star, then they could be for you.
Pairing a pleated skirt with a tucked-in button-up shirt in white would give you that classic look. You could also combine it with more modern pieces to bring it into the current times and make a look that is more your own.
Straight-Fit
If you want a skirt that is more suited to the office for formal events, then you will want a straight-fit skirt. Similar to a pencil skirt, a straight-fit skirt is simple yet smart and is ideal for those who want a skirt that has more structure.
Straight-fit skirts are making a huge comeback as more and more women realize not only how versatile they are but they are also very flattering for most body shapes.
