The 5 Skirt Trends You Need to Know This Year
2023 is the year of the skirt. Sorry to all the rabbits out there, but the fashion industry is predicting a focus on the humble garment which originated back in ancient times and has evolved into a fashion statement since then. But what are the trends to look for this year? In 2023, we have narrowed it down to five skirt trends that are expected to take off.
The Denim Midi
Stirring welcome recollections of your favourite primary school teacher and the cool auntie in your life, the denim midi skirt is a great way to change up your style if it’s been getting a bit same-same recently. If you’ve already done the mini skirt and the maxi, and even the midi, the utility-inspired silhouette created by the denim midi is unique. The length of the denim construction creates a more rigid, structured look which evokes dreams of a Scandinavian fashion week. A fantastic transitional piece to add to your wardrobe, the denim midi can be worn through winter with stockings and knee-high boots, or in summer with sneakers, or Docs and a crop top or singlet.
The Cargo Skirt
Cargo skirts have taken the best of cargo pants and utility wear and infused these elements into a mini skirt, allowing you to rock the trend through the warmer months. With the added benefit of functional pockets for storage, the cargo skirt may also make it possible to forego the handbag completely. Imagine the possibilities.
Cargo skirts come in a low-rise fit on the waist as well as a high-waisted look for the more conventional among us. For true versatility, try the Cargo Zip Off Skirt by Worship for a convertible look that goes from mini to midi in moments. Style a cargo skirt with a basic tank or baby tee and layer with a cropped jacket and boots for a gorpcore-inspired look.
The Asymmetric Wrap Skirt
Wrap around denim mini skirts made an impression late last year and have continued to be popular into 2023. A level up from the regular denim mini, the wrap skirt has an edgier look, and can be worn causally or for a night out when paired with heels and a dressy top.
The asymmetric detail adds visual interest, meaning you can keep the rest of your outfit quite minimal and let the skirt do the talking, or pair with a cut-out top for a concentric geometric look.
The Super Mini Low Rise Skirt
The 2000s called. They want their skirts back.
Reviving the best parts of the trends that made us cringe in the 2000s, low-rise skirts are back. Not for the faint of heart, these skirts rely on good styling to pull off the look.
Pair a low-rise skirt with a baby tee for the desirable complimentary proportions.
Micro mini skirts come in slim, hip-clinging fits or looser, pleated fabrications reminiscent of Sailor Moon. Complete the Y2K look by pairing with platform shoes and a handbag.
The Skirt in a Matching Set
Don't just invest in a skirt, invest in a skirt and top set to add more options to your wardrobe.
In 2023, the skirt set isn't going anywhere. Wear the matching set to your more formal occasions and mix it up with the rest of your wardrobe on a casual day out. A bodycon knit midi skirt looks great paired with a baby tee or a basic singlet crop. In winter, layer a jacket or coat over the top with heeled boots for a look you could pull off at work and at dinner.
