How to Style Skirts for Every Season

The fashion world doesn’t stop just because the weather changes, and there’s no reason you can’t wear your favorite skirts whenever you want. These are our tips on how to make the three most common skirt lengths (midi, mini, and maxi) wearable for every season.

MIDI SKIRTS

Floral Prints

midi-length skirt is highly variable because of its in-between length. Ideal for day or night, they’re also wearable during all four seasons.

Spring

Spring maxi skirts are often less fitted, may come with ruffles, and they’ll be colored in bright shades. Since the weather is transitional, play with your top layers against the flow of the skirt; a bright maxi and camisole pair nicely with an indigo denim jacket over top.

Summer

Warm weather means maxis in gauzy fabric and seasonal prints. Try a bright western-inspired vibe with a solid, flowing maxi and accessorize with a suede belt. 

Fall

While warmer months often mean more relaxed fits, fall is a time for both fitted and relaxed cuts. For bohemian looks, go for looser maxi skirts with micro prints. These skirts will pair nicely with solid tops that have a matching color to the print, and a suede jacket will tie the outfit together. Dark denim midis with a tasteful slit are excellent for wearing with your favorite boots during autumn, and more fitted, fringe-tipped skirts are ideal night out options.

Winter

For winter, go with solid, long silk skirts that will be warmer and sophisticated. These are usually in a more statuesque fit or sheath style, excellent for wearing with heels and special events. Maxi skirts made with lush materials like velvet, or embellished options, are perfect for catching the light at parties.

Mini skirts aren’t just for nights out, and they’re not only for summer either. Using seasonal trends, layers, and classic styles, you can build outfits withmini skirtsat any time.

Spring 

Lace-embellished mini skirts bring soft touches to your spring outfits. A mini length is less professional, but can be dressed up for special events with a solid matching blouse

Summer

Summertime activities and warmer weather mean minis that appear as skorts,linen sets, or the classicdenim skirt. A denim mini is a casual go-to that pairs well withtees,tanks, and camisoles. Add a pair of cutesneakersorsandals, and don’t forget your favorite hat.

Fall

Autumn can bring edgier pockets and textures. Don’t be afraid to play with utility-inspired styles or leather minis for nights out. Try a black leather mini with a black tank, and layer a matching leather jacket on top. Add a pair of black heels, and you’ve got an effortlessly cool look.

Winter

Curious about how to wear a mini skirt in cold weather? To style mini skirts in winter, there are two helpful solutions: add hosiery and boots. Wear tights under mini skirts for added coziness, or consider layering a long overcoat on top of your outfit to keep yourself warm until you’re indoors. These tips mean you can wear skirts of all lengths no matter the weather. Mini skirts with sequins make great holiday party options.

THE MAXI

We have more than just flowy skirt ideas for the summertime. Maxi skirts come in all sorts of fabrics, prints, and fits. It’s just a matter of choosing the right one for you at the right time.
