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

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.

Fancy a co-ord?

What’s a co-ord I hear you say? It is two piece outfits that match either in print, colour or fabric. This season a co-ord is a must-have. I love the versatility of one, when you wear it together it’s a super stylish outfit, but the pieces can also be worn separately with other pieces in your wardrobe to make up lots more outfits.

Multi-wear co-ords can be dressed up or dressed down for all body shapes, styles and occasions. Requiring minimal styling but arguably causing maximum impact, they’ll not only halve your getting ready time but will also help solve the conundrum of what to wear. First imagined by Coco Chanel in the 1920s, contemporary co-ords have their roots in her instantly recognisable matching tweed cardigan jackets and skirts. For SS22, they come in all shapes, sizes and styles – observed on this season’s catwalks.

Matchy matchy sets are very much on the 2022 style agenda so get yours now.

Sequins are for life not just for Christmas

Every party season, the sequin trend rolls around. But this year more than ever it seems to be the only thing that everyone is pushing for the party dressing. Sequins are everywhere! Whether it be in a dress, skirts, tops or trousers, sequins are now the go-to look for any event. Following on from last year’s lockdown none event the way to wear them is with knitwear, oversized roll necks, cable knits or paired back with denim.

This year I have brought a pair of sequin trousers and will be wearing them with a jumper over the next few weeks and quite possibly on Christmas day too. Already in my wardrobe I have a silver sequin pencil skirt, a silver sequin blazer and a navy blue sequin top which I regularly wear and will never detox from my wardrobe - sequins are for life don’t you know! Be wary when buying sequin clothes, make sure the fabric is good quality, its lined so it doesn’t itch against your skin and the sequins are not too thin otherwise they will break. Follow these tips and there is no reason why a sequin piece of clothing isn’t an investment piece that you will always wear and keep.

See below for my top sequins buys this season.
