How cool are the new spring skirt styles?! Everywhere, from the catwalk to the red carpet and the high street, seems to be full of new skirts in every style and shape imaginable, and they are all so much more flattering than your standard skirt. Whether you love vintage style, tailored feminine, bold graphics or gentle florals, there are a whole range of spring skirt styles for you to fall in love with.
1 Chiffon Skater…
I’m a big fan of skater dresses for an easy yet chic style, so this update to the style will definitely be hitting my wardrobe soon. It keeps the fluid fit and flattering style that you’d expect, but the delicate sheer chiffon layers add a feminine feel, and I love the bold blue shade. The high waistband makes it ideal for wearing with an on-trend crop top, too! Go sports luxe like the model, or dress it up with nude wedges and a long white vest top. Just add some long necklaces, and you’re good to go – this is one of the most versatile spring skirt styles!
Frequently asked questions
2 Contrast Hems…
Contrasts are everywhere this season, and the trend is set to continue for the foreseeable future. Rocking the look can be tough if you need to stick to one or two colors, though. This skirt offers the perfect solution. The main panel is made from an easy-care fabric that’s strong and ideal for work, and the shape is fitted and professional, before flaring out with the leather-look hem. For work, just add a cute blouse and courts, and a cami and leather jacket will dress it up for evenings out.
3 Retro Midis…
I love this dress…it screams retro, and makes me want to swap my whole wardrobe for sugary pastel shades and big movement. This summery yellow dress is made from a light linen fabric, and has a high tie-waist that creates a gorgeous hourglass silhouette. I love the flared A-line shape…you won’t be able to stop twirling and shaking your hips! It’s perfect for giving yourself that refreshed spring feeling, whatever the season outside.
4 Mix It up…
Leather skirts are all over the high street, but if you don’t fancy something tight, try this refreshing take on the look. This skirt is made from soft premium leather that floats, rather than hugging, and has a flattering (and comfortable!) stretch waistband. Soft pleating and a gently flared style complete the look, and it’s so understated you could rock it with anything. I love this model's casual take!
5 New Maxis…
Maxi skirts are a warm weather staple, but the catwalk was full of a new design of maxis – gone are the long skirts made from cotton and linen, and in their place are more elaborate designs. This chiffon gown is a great example, with plenty of big, ruffled fabric, and crochet sections hidden among the chiffon. There’s some great linen and lace designs, too. Dress it down with a jumper like the model, or just add a plain vest or tee and let the skirt do the talking.
6 Slits…
Rihanna’s fashion collection has had a big influence this season! Her selection of slit maxi skirts were sold out in minutes, partly due to their sleek shape, and partly because she makes them look so great. For best results, team a tight-fitting maxi like this with understated shoes and a loose top tucked in. Don’t go for a bustier or corset up top: keep it subtle. I love the monochrome vibe, and this model has the pose just right. I wouldn’t go filling your work wardrobes with these yet, though…
7 Feminine Minis…
Love mini skirts? Give yours a 2013 makeover by opting for some tailored, feminine designs. This skirt is designed to be flattering and comfortable, and the chiffon and bead embellishment put it in a world of its own. The secret to keeping this look wearable everyday is to go understated, so a simple black jumper or vest top is a great idea. I love the glittery frayed edges, too. This is one of the spring skirt styles that you’ll be wearing again and again!
Of course, before wearing any of these gorgeous spring skirt styles I need to rescue my legs from their winterness….pedicures and moisturizing, here I come! Which of these great styles will you be trying? I’d love to know!
