Leave your pants in the closet for a while, and feel the grace of wearing a skirt, one of the principal components of feminine attire. For skirt lovers and those who need to be (re)introduced to the garment, Stylish Eve presents a couple dozen collages showing what skirts can look like. You’ll find assorted skirt lengths—mid-thigh to floor, and a few that couldn’t make up their minds; styles—Boho to boardroom; fabrics—lace, leopard, houndstooth, calico; attitudes—dignified, efficient, playful, flirty, sexy; shapes—pencil, ruffled, pleated, flounced, flared, tiered, gathered. Each of these skirts is part of an outfit we have assembled that would take you somewhere you have to go or want to go, somewhere that is part of your life.
With the more casual skirts, you can more freely express yourself in choosing your tops, footwear, and jewelry. Look at our ideas but don’t limit yourself; do your own thing, choose some funky or statement items for your casual accessories—have fun! Now, look again and you’ll notice that there’s less freedom in assembling dressy skirt outfits. You can be flexible but not frivolous with outfits for work, business, or similar occasions. Tops may not be as playful or jewelry as over-the-top. You can swap pieces between similar outfits, but casual pieces usually don’t transplant well to business wear. You need not be rigid, but you do need to be careful; you can ruin a look with a pairing or accessory that undermines its serious intention. Skirt outfits seem complicated because of the extra pairing they require, but our collection will convince you it’s worth doing.
