It’s becoming more and more evident that we will remember 2023 as the year of the skirt. While everyday dress dominated throughout the pandemic years, designers have been experimenting with skirts in all their forms in recent seasons. Examples include the micro mini, floor-length maxis, and circular skirt bottoms. And the skirt’s meteoric rise for spring/summer 2023 shows no signs of stopping down.

However, it’s noteworthy that no two people wore the modest skirt in the same way, and perhaps that’s where its beauty lies. Here are the top skirt trends that are here to stay.

Silk Skirts in Every Length

Although we are technically in the middle of winter when warm, cosy jackets rule our outfits, our hearts and eyes have already been dreaming of warmer days to come. The best way to break out of a winter rut and keep on top of fashion trends is to choose a sleek silk skirt. Whether you’re going on a romantic date night or a casual morning at the farmer’s market, a satin skirt adds a subtle refinement to any outfit.

If you ask yourself: “Can I wear silk skirt in winter?” the answer is yes, you can! The most exciting thing about it is that you can wear your women’s silk skirt in the winter months. Simply tuck a pair of tights or leggings underneath as an extra layer to add more warmth. Once spring comes, your skirt collection is ready to bloom on its own. What could be better than that? Despite feeling dressier than the typical pair of jeans or pants, the luxuriously smooth garment is versatile enough to be worn both casually and formally with either high heels or flat shoes.

How do you style this elegant wardrobe staple? Here are a few ideas:

  1. Pair one with a humble white T-shirt and sneakers for a power-casual look.
  2. Give your work outfit a makeover by pairing your go-to blazer and pumps with a satin skirt.
  3. Equally versatile combinations are crop tops and strappy sandals or slides and a racerback tank top when made of a plain, neutral-coloured silk midi skirt.


Wearing a skirt made of silk goes beyond fashion; natural silk is a delicate substance with many benefits. You will not only look lovely if you wear garments made of this genuine material, but you will also get a wealth of health benefits. In addition to being a thin, breathable fabric, its nature makes it a natural temperature regulator, helping in your body’s year-round maintenance of a cosy, healthy body temperature. It’s also hypoallergenic, and it’s environmentally-friendly fabric.

Denim Midi Skirts

Longer denim skirts have quickly taken over the scene as the must-have fashion accessory for spring and summer. Fortunately, it seems like all the brands are fighting to release fresh iterations of the popular jean-skirt trend but beware: each one sells out even more quickly than the last. Denim skirts have a vibe that we love, perhaps even more than the flirtatious, carefree energy of denim short skirts, even though denim skirts and summer go together like peanut butter and jelly. Here are some tips on how to style your favourite denim skirt.

  1. Pair it with statement-making details. Throw off any preconceived notions you may have had about long denim skirts being old. Pairing one with a cropped statement shirt gives off the leading character’s energy, whether worn with sandals or Italian artisanal boots.
  2. Match it with a denim top. We’ll say it louder: Canadian tuxedos are timeless. The most fashionable version of this season’s classic style blends a corset top’s snazzy fit with a denim midi skirt’s extending effect. Add a denim blazer over the top to make your statement.
  3. Wear it with a bright-coloured sweater. By wearing your skirt with a vibrantly coloured sweater and matching heels, you may liven up your dark-wash denim. Although we think canary yellow is universally appealing, you should use this styling advice for any colour that appeals to you.
  4. Put a crochet top on. For spring and summer, crocheted tops are a breezy option that offers a whimsical but relaxed style with an asymmetrical denim skirt and vibrant accessories.
  5. Wear It with an oversized blazer. Going large with outerwear reduces the time it takes to style a denim skirt, which is why celebrities are so enamoured with them this year. In the end, it doesn’t matter what you’re wearing underneath your enormous blazer.


Pleated Maxi Skirts

Pleated skirts are popular among fashion enthusiasts as they combine sophistication and street style. If you want to rock a pleated skirt and make a statement, here are a few tips to ace the look:

  • Opt for wrinkle-resistant fabrics or synthetic materials like polyester to minimise maintenance.
  • Choose a pleated maxi skirt if you have a long torso and short legs to create the illusion of longer legs. If you have long legs, go for a midi skirt.
  • To iron a skirt with knife pleats, attach a paperclip to each pleat to ensure you iron them in the correct direction. Hang your ironed pleated skirt on a hanger with fabric-friendly clips to prevent fabric damage, and avoid folding it.


And here are a few styling tips:

  1. Enhance your contrasting style by opting for a black and white pleated skirt. To break the monotony, pair it with a vibrant top in colours like red, coral, or yellow. Complete the ensemble with black pumps.
  2. Showcase your urban fashion sense by choosing a metallic pleated skirt. Balance it out with a sophisticated white blouse, tucking it in. Style your hair in a bun, carry a leather tote, and step into pointed heels for a flawless look.
  3. Prepare to party in a pleated peach skirt matched with a sequin crop top adorned with embellishments. If you prefer a minimalist aesthetic, this outfit perfectly embodies that style without appearing dull. Amp the look by adding a neon-coloured top and pumps to make a statement.
  4. Embrace the “go big or go home” mentality with a gold pleated skirt. This ensemble is ideal for occasions when you feel like making a bold statement. Combine a turtleneck T-shirt tucked into the gold pleated skirt and layer it with an oversized coat or shrug. Complete the look with your favourite booties and a touch of red lipstick.
