The half of your closet you forgot about
Most women own two skirts and wear neither, usually because nothing on top goes with them. That's a pairing problem, not a skirt problem.
How to buy one you'll wear
- Buy the top at the same time. A skirt bought alone tends to stay alone.
- Check the waistband seated. Skirts that fit standing and dig sitting get worn once.
- Slip, denim and pleated behave completely differently. A slip skirt needs a structured top. Denim goes with anything. Pleated wants something fitted above it.
The surprise of this season
Gingham and check midi skirts are the surprise of this season for us. Beyond prints, the skirts that keep selling are the ones that work with a plain tee, because that's the real test of whether a skirt gets worn.
What top goes with a midi skirt?
Something fitted, or something you can tuck. A midi skirt already has volume, so a loose top on top of it hides your shape entirely. A rib tank, a fitted tee, or a knit half tucked at the front is the combination that works nearly every time. Bring the skirt in. We'll find the top.
