The Ageless, Anti-Trend Skirt Style That Belongs in Every Chic Winter Wardrobe

by Jess Kelham-Hohler

As the temperatures drop, my interest in cosy clothes piques, and I'm not the only one. The knitted skirt is the tried-and-tested (and influencer-approved) wardrobe staple that returns year after year, and for good reason. It's one of the most versatile pieces you can have in your autumn/winter wardrobe, seamlessly taking you from work to weekend with just a few simple styling tweaks. You can rest assured that your trusty knitted skirt will ensure you look put-together and polished—not to mention warm.

With so many great options available in soft textures and rich colour palettes, knitted skirts can act as wardrobe chameleons that shape-shift to fit your needs. A cream one can look casual and comfy if paired with trainers and a slouchy jumper, but add this season's trending knee-high boots and a floor-sweeping coat, and you've upgraded to a seriously sleek outfit.

Another plus: a knitted skirt doesn't have to be expensive to look elevated. This season, high-street favourites like Mango and H&M have nailed the quiet-luxury trend with their understated versions, and when styled with a bouclé jacket or blazer, they're sure to look more costly than their price tag.
