Are Skirts the New Trousers? A/W 2020 Trends

Skirts vs. Trousers. Which is right for you?

We get it, we’re all used to wearing trousers, they feel good, they shape our silhouettes, they’re versatile, they give us freedom of movement.

But this season, let’s push skirts forward. Why? Because you get countless style combinations, they come in all shapes, sizes and models for all types of silhouettes. Welcome Autumn 2020’s must-have pieces.

From Catwalks to the Streets, the Skirt Will be the Star!

For Autumn/Winter 2020, many designers are bringing skirts back to the catwalk. Just check out the looks from Louis Vuitton, YSL, Celine, Valentino, Chloe, and Miu Miu.

Match Trendy Autumn Skirts to your Silhouette

Triangular silhouette

Choose tight mini skirts to enhance your curves! Work the length so your legs look elongated and tighten your body. Pair dark colors and oblique ruffles with padded or patterned tops.

If you’re looking to hide your hips, look for something similar to Celine’s A-line skirt with front buttons. But, drop the plastron pockets.

Rectangle silhouette

We’re loving the asymmetric hem! They create curves on any body type. This season, winter skirts are all about movement and flow. Look for fringes, godets, tables, strips, and more.

Inverted triangle silhouette

Go for the A-line cut skirt, especially the midi or maxi.
If you’re looking to add volume to the hips, try retro air skirts with a waist cut. They’re made for your body type.

Oval-Diamond silhouette

Finding the right skirt for your body type (and proportions) is key. It’s about balance so try a few skirts to find your perfect fit!
We recommend a wrap skirt, which gives you versatility especially when paired with different tops. Try a floral print wrap and a dark knitted v-neck top.
