All The Trends We’re Loving This National Skirt Day
National Skirt Day is this week and what better way to celebrate than by shopping the best of the new skirt trends for SS23? From abbreviated minis to chic midis, there’s a perfect length out there for everyone. It’s a season of experimental fabrics, too, with designers from Alexander McQueen to Paco Rabanne exploring new ways with faux leather and glimmering silver fabrics that work from day to night. Read on for a rundown of our favorites, invest in the ones you like, and then wear them on whichever day of the year you choose. Enjoy!
Silver proved to be a big SS23 trend, so naturally, that extended into the season’s skirt offerings. Sequined, embellished, fringed, or leather, there are plenty of shining examples to add to your new season rotation.
Ultra-feminine and unapologetically flamboyant, tiered ruffles cascaded down midi skirts on runways as far removed as Studio 189 and Alexander McQueen. Whimsical and timeless, it’s a perfectly playful spring closet addition—and one of the most striking new skirt trends out there.
Cargo pants have been trending since early last year, and now the utilitarian mainstay has stealthily evolved into skirts. We love their practical oversized pockets and cool, easy-to-wear shades, from cream to forest green. Consider it a new skirt trend worth investing in.
When the sun finally emerges and you need to retire your wintery jeans-and-sweater uniform, a denim midi is perhaps the easiest new skirt trend to get into. With the current denim revival out in force—baggy, cargo, and wide-leg are all new favorites—it makes sense that skirts are now also in the mix. And with so many fits and washes to choose from, much like their two-legged counterparts, one will never be enough.
Following on from Miu Miu’s teeny-tiny pleated tennis skirt that went viral last year, miniskirts are having a moment in the spotlight this season. Bright or muted, houndstooth or leather, there are a plethora of vintage and modern styles to choose from.
Hot on the heels of the Resort 23 trends, many designers expanded their spring collections to include everyone’s favorite beach coverup. While some have fringing and tropical prints, Baobab’s are night-out ready, while SKIMS’ look ready for anything, from a city-bound shopping trip to a chic garden BBQ.
As the fashion industry considers how to be more ethical and sustainable, many designers embraced vegan leathers, which cut out the need for animal skins, in their collections. Delivered in warm shades of cream, coffee, and caramel, or smooth, classic black, this forward-thinking and entirely chic new skirt trend is as perfect for a day in the office as cocktails with the girls.
Peacock Dressing ALL EYES ON YOU The most anticipated time in every style seeker’s calendar is undoubtedly Fashion Month, when designers, industry experts and A-listers gather to celebrate the best collections from across the cities. From Paris to New York, London to Milan, this year’s statement styles from some of the best dressed in the industry were satisfying our sartorial cravings, whether that was Y2K glamour in the Big Apple or Scandi simplicity in Copenhagen.
