6 WAYS TO STYLE A SKIRT WITH A SWEATER THIS FALL AND WINTER

The crisp air ushered in during colder months doesn’t mean having to ditch your favorite skirts. The secret to knowing how to wear skirts in winter lies in proper layering. With wool sweaters and thick tights, skirts are a warmer option than you might think. And once you add coats, scarves, and gloves into your wardrobe rotation, you’ll be ready to brave the chilly elements in style. Look to these six outfit ideas for inspiration to make the most of your wardrobe. 

Blazer + sweater + patterned mini skirt 

This blazer/skirt combo makes for the ultimate stylish work outfit. Choose a sweater in a contrasting shade to make a statement, or opt for a tonal color to achieve a polished look. A wool ensemble can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion, with a vibrant mock neck or a taupe turtleneck. The subtle earthy tones pair well with a soft handbag and brown riding boots.

Leather jacket + black sweater + leather mini skirt

A leather jacket epitomizes fall fashion and can add an edge to a sweater/skirt outfit. Rock this combo with a slim black turtleneck if the leather jacket is fitted or a chunkier knit if the jacket is oversized. Finish it off with over-the-knee boots, sleek leather gloves, and cool sunglasses.

Off-the-shoulder sweater + asymmetrical midi skirt

An elegant, off-the-shoulder sweater and an asymmetrical midi skirt in neutral tones make an exquisite pairing. Although a long skirt is warm in its own right, slip on a pair of cozy tights for especially chilly days. Elevate the look with knee-high leather boots, a structured handbag, and fine jewelry.

Puffer coat + turtleneck + Puffer skirt

Insulated skirts have become popular in recent years, both for their fashionable appearance and because they keep you warm during cold weather. For the ultimate après-ski outfit, Moncler offers a range of mini puffer skirts that look great with a turtleneck and down-filled coat.

Bomber jacket + knit sweater + denim skirt  

Bomber jackets and denim skirts are a fantastic pairing for fall and look stylish with any number of knits, from a simple crew neck to an oversized sweater. Tie the look together with a pair of combat boots for an edgy, military-inspired outfit.

Neutral sweater + mini skirt + heels

When it comes to cocktail hours and birthday bashes, a mini skirt is undeniably the most inspired option for both events. Whether pleated and flouncy or straight and embellished, the variety of styles means never having to wear the same skirt twice. For a put-together daytime look, pair a luxe zip sweater with a utility skirt, socks, and boots or heels.

6 SWEATER AND SKIRT ENSEMBLES THAT WILL BRING THE HEAT THIS SPRING  

With warmer temps comes a whole new range of possibilities for styling this dynamic duo. Even mild spring days can be followed by brisk nights, and you’ll be glad to have lightweight pullovers or cardigans on hand.

Here are six of our favorite warm-weather skirt pairings to give your style a boost this summer. 

Cashmere sweater + pencil skirt

Start spring off on the right foot by creating your new go-to look around your favorite pair of sneakers—the perfect accessory to offset the primness of a printed cashmere sweater and neutral-hued pencil skirt. 

Cropped sweater + flowing midi skirt 

Top off a flowing midi skirt with a cropped sweater in either a contrasting color or a floral pattern. Add heels, a clutch, and matching earrings to complete this elegant spring pairing.

Hoodie + long skirt 

The brand that brings warmth to the slopes in the form of fashionable down jackets also creates some of fall’s greatest layering pieces. Case in point: this great lightweight hoodie, perfect for pairing with a long skirt and classic sneakers. Top it off with a pair of sporty sunglasses to project a cool aura.

Oversized sweater + pleated skirt

An oversized sweater and skirt outfit are a charming match for early spring. Play up the knit-and-silk texture by adding a bouclé jacket and patent leather sandals. When it comes to pleats, there are several great options—accordion, box, knife—that look just as modern today as during their ’60s heyday.

Button-down cardigan + midi skirt

A button-down cardigan and a midi skirt make for a classic pairing. Match a black lace button-down with a floral skirt and matching top, allowing the print to peek through the knit pattern. The overall look is airy and carefree, perfect for a rooftop or garden party. Pair with kitten heels and pearls to sweeten the look.

Turtleneck sweater + silk midi skirt 

A lightweight, cotton-blend turtleneck pairs beautifully with a silk midi skirt. The addition of a jacket, scarf, and loafers will chase the chill during the still-cool evenings of spring.
