What to wear with a black satin skirt

[FlourPowa]

Hi! I have recently lost weight and I am trying to find my style a little bi after living in floaty dresses to hide myself for years. I still have about 4 stone to go (I have lost 4 stone already) and I am a size 16 currently.

I have a baby shower to attend and I have either a black satin skirt or a bright pink satin skirt but I have no idea what time to wear with either of them. The skirts are straight midi skirts. Ideally something that would cover my stomach and I don’t want to show my arms off. At the minute I’m leaning towards a nice tshirt but not sure it’s dressy enough for a baby shower! Please help, I have no sense of style

I love satin skirts but find them difficult to style. Have a look on Pinterest for ideas. I wear this black longline waistcoat with mine. Are you happy showing your arms? https://www.nobodyschild.com/products/black-longline-crewneck-waistcoat-o251650blk?cjdata=MXxZfDB8WXww&variant=54055207240065&cjevent=af98c27a63e511f083ab006b0a18b8f6&utm_source=CJ&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=Genie+Shopping+CSS

I love a satin midi with an oversized graphic or band tee and my doc marten sandals. I prefer a bias cut in the skirt though as I find it fits me better and compliments my shape. Sometimes I wear my top loose and out, other times I tuck it in, depends how I’m feeling. I also dress it down further sometimes with converse and in winter I replace the tee with an oversized sweatshirt. I also like a boxy plain white tee with them.

Pop in to your local Tesco, I got this shorter satin shirt in black to wear with my satin skirts.

I wear a knitted waistcoat top with mine but as pp said a longline waistcoat top could look chic. T-shirts work tucked in too.

A crochet waistcoat over a fitted T-shirt?

I’ve just bought this top, from next, to go with a pink midi satin skirt for an event. I know you said you wanted sleeves but it’s such a flattering top that hides a tummy.

Sorry forgot the photo

I love satin skirts but I think the key is to have contrasting top and bottom fabric. I wear them mostly in winter with a fluffy jumper and DMs.
I like the crochet waistcoat idea someone posted earlier.

That’s nice, where is it from?

If you want to dress it up, I wore mine like this on holiday…

@FlourPowa In the winter a cashmere t shirt. In the summer a satin shirt in white. I’m not a fan of waistcoats. Or try a silk cami top or silk t shirt. Add a gold necklace. Look for a slinky top with a black geometric pattern. Don’t wear linen or cotton. Kitten heels look good.

wow thank you so much everyone! Lots of options to choose from, I think I’ll go shopping on my day off next week, take both the skirts with me and try on a few options. Still a novelty being able to go to a normal
shop and fit in the clothes 🤣. Thanks again!

I've been wearing a knitted vest top from M&S to go with mine. It's long and covers my belly and I think the weight of it smooths.

What about a wrap shirt, something with a bit of structure to it, like this one:

(i don’t know anything about this brand but it has various colours)

Ooh I do love that shirt. Has arms, wrap is flattering and long enough to cover tummy.

I tend to wear scoop or v neck T-shirts and make it more dressy with necklaces. With black I might even suggest stripes with the pink grey to counter the look.
