The only skirt you need this season

Denim Midi or Maxi skirt

Last seen during the height of Sienna Miller’s boho era, get ready for the denim midi and maxi skirt to come back in 2023. It was a dominant presence on the runways of all the Spring/Summer shows, the denim skirt is looking like a serious contender for best in show. The denim maxi skirt promises versatility and, more notably for those who shied away from it's skin-baring counterpart the mini, lots of wearability. It has already made its way into lots of fashion influencers wardrobes so be prepared for the denim skirt to reign in this year.

One of its many attributes is that it can be worn trans seasonally. I wore this white denim midi skirt throughout Spring/Summer 2022 and have been styling it with thick tights and boots for Winter. It would also work well with knee high boots, thick jumpers and leather biker jackets.

Denim maxi skirt I am wearing is from Zara, £45.99

Cargo trousers - this seasons most wanted item

I am sure alot of us will remember the 90s era when cargo trousers were made famous by girl bands such as All Saints and the Spice girls and will not want to re-live those crunchy cotton wearing days. The cargo trouser is making a comeback and it will be this season most wanted item. But, like us, it has grown up. Yes you can find a true form of the 90s version out there, but I will be wearing my cargo trousers in a smart way.

Taking inspiration from the cult brand The Frankie shop who’s cargo trousers sold out many times last year, the high street have now followed. I brought a pair of stone trousers in the Me + Em sale in the Summer and have loved styling them Summer into Autumn. What excites me about cargo trousers styling is wearing them with boots, trainers, flat shoes, heels and eventually sandals when the weather warms up. They are versatile. Forget about the pockets and treat them as a stylish alternative to jeans that you can wear casually or smarter depending on your footwear and outerwear.

My advice would be to not think about how you used to wear them but to see them as new trouser to add into your wardrobe that’s going to up your style this year. I have already worn mine for evening, day and work appointments all with different shoes and outerwear, if you keep them smart then they won’t feel like you are trying to re-live your youth.
