What can I pair this with?

Fell in love with this (brand new, £5 from my local charity shop!) Got so excited I may not have even considered what to wear it with 🤔😂

For a late September wedding (day & evening guest)

Help!

REISS have some gorgeous silk-satin blouses that might work.

There are some nice silky shirts in H & M at the moment too.

Mint velvet has this lovely cream poncho style top that would go well with that skirt

I own this skirt! I always pair it with a silk blouse … usually black but maybe another colour would be better for a wedding. A slim fitting top could also look nice

That's beautiful, a little out of my budget but I could definitely look for one similar!

The skirt is originally h&m so I might have a look.

I like this, depending on the weather it might be a good idea too!

In my head I was thinking silky camisole but might be a bit chilly (going on the hope that this weather will be over by then!) Blouse may be the better option

unsure re colourway but these may be more affordable @Manchestermummax2

corblimeymlud · 03/08/2026 00:04

What about a waistcoat to achieve this effect ?

It's another dodgy drop-shipping site. I would steer clear.

There's another Reiss one the same or similar but well-reduced, in a deep burgundy colour similar to the skirt. The price is balanced out by your £5 bargain of a skirt, no?!!

It's a lovely shirt - but I'm having difficulty imagining a shirt with your skirt, as I think it would look more like a work outfit rather than a wedding guest one? Maybe not though with blingy gold earrings & gold sandals, & maybe a contrasting clutch bag in, say, bright orange suede or velvet?

What about something in cream lace?

EleanorMc67 · 03/08/2026 02:16

I would, however, snap this up if it's your size! The Fold, pure silk satin, £25 ...!!!

As it's late September, so properly autumn, I would explore satin, silk, velvet textures - & (if they suit you) warm/rich autumnal colours that tone or clash. What about this blouse/jacket? Reds, oranges, rusts, golds, pinks - you could mix several colours as long as they work together tonally.

Is this your skirt? Or similar? (From the H&M website.)

I like the red tights/sandals combination as it lifts the colour!

This boxy satin top could also work. I might add a clutch of vintage brooches in burgundy/amber/orange near the neckline on one side - that would also work with the jacket above.

If, however, you're strapped for cash, F&F had this sheer organza top. Now out of stock, but loads on Vinted for not very much.

EBay you may find a nice one

Would you feel comfortable in a fitted waistcoat? Chunky necklace or big earrings, not too high a heel but needs a bit of height. Fabulous.
