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.

Boots of the season

Now is the perfect timing to bag yourself a new pair of boots for the season. Ones that you can start to wear now until Spring. It can be tricky to know what suits you, whats the latest style and what shapes go with what outfits you wear the most. It’s a minefield of heel height and shape, height of the boot, colour or fabric and can overwhelm you when trying to find the perfect pair. Often what you perceive to be something online doesn’t always look that way on you either, so trying them on is always a must.

Chunky boot

This has been around for a couple of seasons now. It doesn’t always suit everyone but they do elevate your outfits. I love wearing mine with dresses, straight leg jeans and skirts.

Updated Chelsea boot

This style has been around for so long and will never got out of fashion but it has had an update. Either longer in the height of the boot so it can go under your straight leg jeans or the sole has got thicker so they aren’t as chunky as the chunky boots but they have a bit of an edge.

Heeled stiletto boot

We can no longer wear heels as we haven’t been wearing them for so long, but a bit of height does elongate our bodies and for evening with jeans, trousers or dresses a heeled boot is the perfect option.

Knee high boot

I am sure we all own a pair of knee high boots somewhere in the back of our wardrobe, well now is the time to pull them out. Great with dresses and skirts, I like a chunkier sole or a riding boot for over jeans and leather leggings.

Cowboy boots

A novelty for the season and something I wouldn’t recommend if you were building a wardrobe to last you years. But these 2 I believe they stand the test of time, through this trend and every year after.

The knitted dress

The last couple of Winter’s the knitted dress has had a resurgence but it’s updated for 2022. These easy to throw on dresses can be worn for work, weekend, the school run or out for evening all depending on your footwear. I wear mine with trainers and boots, with bare legs right now and thick black tights in the colder weeks. I love that it keeps me warm when working from home, I can pop on a blazer for work appointments and then a leather biker for evenings out. It’s so versatile you will wonder what you did without one!
