How to wear this skirt?

Hello, I received this lovely skirt for Christmas. I do love it, but it’s a bit out of my normal style. It’s slightly more brown-ish in real life.

anyway, what would you stylistas wear with it? I’m thinking it will have to be something cropped.

The gifter sent me these photos she took in the shop. My skirt is the pinky brown and the other photos is showing the boutique owners wearing similar. Thanks in advance DaffodilDaffodil

Depending on your figure I’d be tempted to wear something more fitted. Plain coloured long sleeve bodyduit?
The skirt is quite voluminous/floaty so I’d go with a tight fitted top to give a bit of more shape to your figure.

Personallt I’d also go for chunky boots (eg docs) & chunky jewellery to avoid it looking ‘frumpy’

Thank you @blythet. Something cropped and more fitted, you think? Like a shorter crewneck. Love the DMs style.

I’ve got that skirt and a leopard one. I wear them with either a long sleeve black skinny rib jumper or next (the set) long sleeve black t shirt top, black tights, black biker jacket and black DM’s or knee high flat riding boots.

Fitted turtleneck and boots - heeled ankle boots or DMs. Agree that a black leather jacket would work. I’d personally avoid chunky jewellery because it reminds me of Theresa May.

@ZoomerBoomeryou're my style twin then! And @RemusLupinsBiggestGroupiei hear you re TM. At least Liz Truss wasn’t around enough to influence fashion ….

Oh god. I'd forgotten about Truss.

I'd wear it with a cashmere or fuzzy jumper in brown or baby blue and a cross body bag to shape the body a bit. I would do bigger or dangly earrings in silver or copper something boho and chandelier like or oval hoops.
Alternatively a beige or brown or baby pink cropped fauxfur jacket, with a high neck fitted top in brown, long layered necklaces.

Cropped jumper

Would Converse go with this skirt?

alldressedupinblue · 12/01/2026 21:39

God, you’re all brilliant. Special kudos to @Bootlegg: you could charge for that advice.

I have one like that I love and I wear it with a big chunky jumper above bum length and ladylike shoes or boots. Im not into chunky footwear.
