Of course an ankle boot is going to keep you warmer than a sandal and if you don’t much fancy a bare leg, wear your skirt with tights, or over-the-knee boots. For the slightly chillier months though I have some suggestions. Stick on a pair of strappy sandals, tuck a camisole or a loose-fitting t-shirt into the top and you’re done. So how do you wear ’em all year round? Obviously the summer version is easy. I also love the khaki green and the deep navy, which I both feel would work well and be easy to pair if you have a pretty neutral wardrobe like me. The marsala wine skirt that I’m wearing in this post is sadly sold out (although keep checking here for when it comes back in stock, although this one is v.similar), however I’m pleased to say that this piece is now available in a stunning leopard print. Same design with a handy elasticated waistband and ‘just below the knee’ length (they fit true to size FYI), in a myriad of jewel-tone and earthy shades and patterns. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past two months then the chances are that you’ve seen that Topshop hold the midi skirt monopoly here. Here’s why I foresee it being a classic in my capsule and my tips for wearing them this winter…įirst up the skirt.

There’s a reason why everyone who I adore style-wise is wearing them and now I have one, I GET IT.

The midi length makes it feel like we’re practically wearing trousers and there’s no better combo than pairing them with big jumpers and ankle boots which are two of my favourite clothing categories. Come rain or shine, within reason they can be an all year round capsule wardrobe staple – once you factor in some layering and warmth-inducing style tips.īest of all the are comfy – like seriously, so comfy – come in a range of colours, courtesy of Topshop’s ever-expanding range and are a good way for traditionally non-skirt wearers to ease ourselves into the idea. It’s a trend that I bought into in the summer with the purchase of a leopard print number and it ain’t going anywhere any time soon. When I scroll through my ‘saved’ section on Instagram there are a disproportionate amount of pasta recipes, art that I’ll never be able to afford and satin midi skirts.
