Before you put away all of your summer attire, take one more look to make sure there aren’t any pieces you can still use for the fall. You don’t have to dread putting away that beautiful skirt you fell in love with over the summer. Just because it’s fall doesn’t mean you have to pack away all your summer attire. Long flowing skirts & short wide skirts were the go-to skirts for this summer and if you loved the look you can still rock it in the fall. Parting ways doesn’t have to happen just yet.
Layering is always fun to do during the fall so try it when making an outfit with a skirt. Did you fall in love with one of your long skirts and just aren’t ready to give it up? Use it for a more dressed down look by wearing it with an awesome cable-knit sweater paired with either a denim or leather jacket. It’s totally fine if you think your skirt isn’t a proper fall color. Just be sure to match it with essential fall tones like tans, browns, and burgundies. Also, keep in mind what you’re wearing on your feet. You may have loved wearing your skirt with flats or sandals, but don’t be scared to pull out that great pair of boots you’ve been hiding in your closet. There’s no such thing as too many boots in the fall!
If you fell in love with that short wide skirt, it’s okay! I have a solution for you as well. This second look will work best with a skirt that sits just at the waist. Just add a thin off the shoulder sweatshirt and, no matter what- DON’T FORGET YOUR BOOTS! A heeled bootie would add the perfect touch to this outfit for going out at night and its’ ankle height will help lengthen the leg. Don’t be afraid to accessorize with a simple watch and pretty pair of earrings that won’t over exaggerate the overly wide skirt. And, for those cold nights, a trench coat that doesn’t flatten the skirt will be perfect for added warmth that won’t take away from the outfit.
Remember, you can make any outfit with a skirt scream FALL!
