Long skirts are a fashion staple, offering endless versatility and timeless elegance. This season, they’re being revamped with a variety of fabrics that add a touch of personality to elevate any look.
We’re taking inspiration from street style to show you five ways to style long skirts this spring, in a variety of luxury fabrics, to make your fashion stand out.
1. Luxe Satin:
Satin is the epitome of elegance, and it’s making a big comeback in long skirts. The fabric’s smooth, lustrous finish instantly elevates any look.
Style Tip: Opt for a bias-cut satin skirt for a flattering silhouette that drapes beautifully. Pair it with a simple camisole and strappy heeled sandals for a timeless evening look, or dress it down with a slouchy sweater and sneakers for a modern twist.
2. Edgy Leather:
Leather adds a touch of cool factor to long skirts, making them perfect for those who want to make a statement. This season, look for buttery soft leather skirts in rich tones like black, chocolate brown, or even burgundy.
Style Tip: Pair your leather skirt with a chunky knit sweater and combat boots for a cold weather-ready outfit, or dress it down with a graphic tee and sneakers for an everyday look.
3. Classic Denim:
Denim is a perennial favourite, and this season, long denim skirts are taking centre stage.
Style Tip: Opt for a high-waisted silhouette with a front slit, paired with a classic button-down blouse for a vintage-inspired vibe.
4. Flowy Sheer:
Sheer fabric adds a touch of romance and femininity to long skirts. This season, look for skirts crafted from delicate fabrics like chiffon or mesh.
Style Tip: Opt for a layered look by pairing a sheer skirt with a longer, thicker fabric top, such as a sweater, and statement jewellery.
5. Breezy Linen:
Linen is a natural fibre known for its breathability and relaxed drape. This season, linen long skirts are a perfect choice for warm weather. Look for skirts in neutral tones like beige or white, or embrace bolder colours like mustard yellow or olive green.
Style Tip: Linen’s natural texture adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit, making it perfect for both casual and dressy occasions. So, feel free to dress down your linen skirt with a cropped band tee or dress up your look with a bold blazer.
By incorporating these fabrics into your long skirt game, you can create unique and stylish looks that are sure to turn heads. Experiment with different textures and styles, and embrace the versatility of the long skirt this season!
