What do you think of this skirt?

I’d wear it like the photo perhaps maybe with opaque tights and Chucky heeled boots?
I also thought about a black too and heels for a night out?

I like it! But as long as you like it, who cares what anyone else thinks Smile

It's lovely, but don't wear it on windy days unless it is stitched together to a reasonable length. I spent a few years of my late teens walking around holding my skirt in place, as did many others.

It just looks like a rectangle piece of fabric wrapped around and tied at the waist to me, with the chance of flashing your knickers every time there is a breeze or you move your legs more than a centimetre.

Like you heard your teenage boyfriend's parents come home whilst you were shagging so picked up his emo throw and wrapped it around yourself.

I’m not sure about it. I like the design but don’t want too look like it’s too young and funky for me but it’s my style.

It does look like a sarong being wrapped around. Have you actually seen it close up and tried it on? Only you can judge if you like it and its flattering on you.
I too would worry that the split would end up in the middle, especially when sitting down. Could the split be worn over 1 knee, rather than central or does that change the wrap part on the waist?

I'm not a fan of the frills but I have a similar split skirt and wear it to work with thick black tights and show boots with a plain black crew neck. I always get a lot of compliments. I have also worn it the summer with no tights for a day time look outside work.

Where is the skirt from please OP?

Everytimeiseeher · 20/02/2020 23:51

@PandaDec2018 I got it from next online but it’s a river island one.

I like it on it fits me nicely. It’s high waisted but my partner said it could be a bit revealing. Hmm I was going to put a little popper button on to hold it closed. I like the fit and and style it’s the stars I was worried about looking a bit too over the top.
Hell you only like once. I’m gonna keep it. I can see it with bare legs and biker boots like the pic, tights and heeled ankle boots. Sandals in the summer. (Are the stars ok for summer?!)
