What to wear with this skirt?

I've had this skirt for years, and I know it's no it any way on trend, but I love it. But I hardly wear it because I never know what to put on top. Any ideas? White t-shirt? Try to match the brown?

I'm 41 and a size 12-14 if that makes a difference.

I think this would look nice with a black or marl body suit, black tights, black boots and cropped cardigan for the autumn.

Wooly jumper? White shirt and waistcoat?! Denim over shirt and vest top. Band t shirt

Plain black top? V neck?

Brown (matching) or white vest/sleeveless top (not spaghetti straps, the wide kind) and plain sandals or maybe, if it’s your style, boots. It’s pretty summery, I don’t think it will work with tights, jumper etc nor do I think it will work with black.

Ha ha to me it looks 💯 autumn!

That’s a summer skirt, I definitely wouldn’t wear it with tights and boots as I think the style and fabric would be totally wrong. Too floaty.

I’d try and match the brown with a fitted tshirt or vest and some tan sandals. Just simple summer casual.

Just a brown T-shirt or crochet vest, and brown sandals. It’s a summer skirt as others have said.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/08/2025 20:18

White vest and tan sandals. It would look really odd with tights and boots, I think.

Gymbunny2025 · 03/08/2025 20:23

It just screams Phoebe Buffay to me and she’s very autumn vibe- maybe that’s why I can’t see it as a summer skirt 😂

There are loads of brown waistcoats in the shops at the moment, you could definitely find one to match the brown on the skirt. Or a simple white tshirt.

That would be a colder weather skirt to me. So tights, boots and chunky jumper.

LaMadrilena · 03/08/2025 22:29

Thanks everyone! It's quite thick cotton so I guess could work in any season in that sense. From the replies, I get the impression I'm overthinking it and need to go with something simple. Thanks again!

I don't see that as a summer skirt at all.

A draped at the top top that then cinches in with folds. Black.

Molinia · 04/08/2025 07:58

Surprised at all the recommendations for white. I'd go brown or black or, if feeling more adventurous, burgundy or burnt orange - maybe even deep gold: colours that are kin to the chocolate brown and will complement the green background.

WellIquitelikesprouts · 04/08/2025 08:00

A simple t shirt in a dark brown that complements the colours in the skirt
