A statement skirt is one of the easiest ways to make an outfit feel thoughtfully styled. It’s also endlessly versatile: wear one with a simple white tee and ballet flats by day, or dress it up at night with a chic blouse, pumps, and an evening clutch. Take a cue from Prada and style a bubble-hem skirt with a sporty nylon jacket, a crisp poplin button-down, and kitten heels. Or pair a textured skirt with a silk blouse and glove pumps, as seen at Chanel. For something effortless, style a fringe skirt with a simple leather jacket and sneakers, inspired by Loewe. Come spring, add a transitional jacket for in-between weather and a straw bag.
Add a statement skirt to your wardrobe for an instant dose of personality and polish. Here are a few chic ways to wear the season’s standout silhouettes.
