chic and tights-friendly, the midi-skirt trend serves us well right now. Here’s why …
We’ve called it: it’s officially tights season. While our brains may be resisting the fact that we’re well into autumn territory (bordering on winter, actually) our wardrobes cannot. We’re layering up with knits once again, a coat is becoming de rigueur and we’re scouring online for a pair of new winter boots (Chelsea or Wellington style, to be precise).
Which is why this skirt we’re seeing everywhere suits us. We’ve always known the midi-skirt trend is desirable no matter what the time of the year, but there’s something about the array of midi-skirts for winter that suddenly appeals. Perhaps it’s the lush, autumn-friendly designs or maybe it’s the fact they pair so well with tights as the weather gets that little bit chillier. Think: decadent tiers, rich patterns and voluminous silhouettes for the win. Shop our favourites below …
