Help finding a skirt to go with a gold jumper!

I have a gold polo neck jumper that has a split back, im thinking of wearing it on Saturday, for a few daytime drinks.
Instead of my normal black skinnies i jave thought about wearing it with a skirt, but not sure what sort to go for!
Im a pear shape, so nothing that makes my hips stick out! Also 42 so no mini skirts! 😂

A high waisted leather pencil skirt?

Loveagoodbook · 27/11/2017 10:48

I keep shying away from the leather look ones, for some reason. Maybe i need to try some on. Thanks

I have just bought a leather look jumper so will see what it looks like later.

Agree with Wilbur that navy is a good colour option. Burgundy would also look good. What about a suede skirt rather than leather, less shiny!

And let me tell you off for saying no miniskirts, I've got a few years on you and I still wear them. Just match the colour of your mini, opaques and (flat) shoes/boots and you'll look great.

Thanks, I wasn't too sure on the leather skirt, felt abit tight on my thighs!!

I think aswell it's going to be hard to find something to go with the jumper with it having a split back and having to tuck in if I wear a skirt.

Few ruched navy skirts: Baukjen, Topshop, Kettlewell. Hush do good ruched skirts as well, but mini.

Alternatively how about satin and tulle or side split or sequinned or assymetric hem, all from ASOS. Some might be a bit fancy but it's always worth looking on ASOS because they have lots of brands and their search is really good.

Thanks,i quite fancy a pleated or a more flared dress. Just wondering if ankle boots would look ok with a pleated skirt. I hate cold/wet feet!!

What about something like these? Would they go with gold?

Oh yes, a pleated skirt would look great. M&S have a velvet pleated skirt on their website. The photos are obviously terrible and there's only a few sizes left but it might be an option, I wear mine with chelsea boots.

Agree with CountFosco's advice re Hush ruched skirt, also that you are not too old for a mini.
I love my Hush ruched skirt (aged 53).

Thanks i have looked at the Hush skirt its just getting delivery now before Daturday thats the problem. Places seem to be taking longer with christmas coming up.
