It's crazy to believe that season after season, we seem to find new ways to wear the classic skirt. Denim minis are being deconstructed (they look like jean jackets tied around the waist!) and gingham midis have voluminous ruffles down to there. But we're also coming up with fresh styling tricks.
Why not throw your polka-dot maxi over jeans and finish with a neon sweater? Or slip your leather pencil skirt over a supersize button-down, and let the shirt peek out from under the hemline. The options seem endless once you digest the looks ahead, so choose your favorite outfits and start re-creating them. Oh, and if you need to update your wardrobe with some new options, we included a few of our favorites too.
Wear a deconstructed wrap skirt with a fuzzy sport sweatshirt and heels.
Layer a leather skirt over an oversize button-down, then cap it off with a neutral-toned blazer.
Throw on a printed skirt over your slouchy boyfriend jeans, and roll them up to reveal your sneakers.
Put on a pleated skirt with a blazer in an eye-catching color, then match your patterned accessories.
Contrast prints in monochrome shades, and slip into your white booties.
Tuck a powder pink sweater into a dark burgundy skirt to play with Fall's most popular tones.
Get asymmetric with your look and play the layering game. A wrap skirt pairs elegantly over one with a triangular hem.
Shop for a deconstructed denim skirt that appears to be a jean jacket tied around the waist. Style it with platform sneakers.
