Silk midi skirts have been a fashion favourite for a few seasons now, but the most luxurious way to wear them for autumn winter 2019 is with a cosy coordinating knit.
The ‘90s slip which was celebrated all summer with a simple tee is now back in skirt form. This season’s update sees silk midi skirts in a slew of colours and lengths - and this simple yet sophisticated wardrobe staple can be worn with boots and trainers alike. But while your footwear is up for debate, pop on a cosy complimentary knit and your look will be instantly autumnal.
Independently, each piece of this fashion duo is chic yet simple, but together they have sartorial superpowers. You just have to look to the streets of fashion week to see how effortlessly the look has transitioned.
Raey at Matches Fashion have some of the best styles we’ve seen this season. Their boas-cut godet-silk-satin midi skirt is the epitome of laid-back luxe and it comes in oyster grey, black and a lilac-pink.
Rixo have some pretty polka dot an animal print numbers, too. But everyone from Petar Petrov to Prada have a luxury offering. Although silk skirts started as a mini trend, this season they have truly graduated to a wardrobe essential. The bias cut makes them flattering as well as giving them a little natural give, they're comfortable, ultra feminine and they transcend seasons.
As for knitwear trends, this season is all about soft. Whether a thick ribbed jumper, fine merino knit, puff-sleeved, cropped or oversized, they all work over slinky silk skirts. Stick to warm, spiced tones for a nod to the current season.
