As seasons change and fashion trends evolve, this recent round of trends has brought us a new wardrobe staple — the skirts. With the runways showcasing skirts of different lengths and styles, here is a list of five skirts that you need to add to your wardrobe.
Bubble Skirts
This skirt has become a new street darling. The puffball of the ’80s and ’00s has made a comeback. This playful silhouette adds a touch of whimsy to any outfit, whether you opt for a mini or midi-length. A fun silhouette to pair with, style it with a simple top and let the skirt take the spotlight. Accessorise with statement earrings and a pair of heels for a night out, or keep it casual with a tucked-in tee and sneakers for a laid-back vibe.
Minis and Micro-Minis
The skirts were the talk of the town in 2023 when Miu Miu showcased them first on the runway, and they are here to stay. This skirt is more than just a fashion statement, embodying boldness and confidence. A sleek micro in a neutral tone or a funky mini with bold prints and designs, pair this daring hemline with some pretty socks and crop tops for a look that will turn heads. Just be prepared for the occasional side-eye from the nosy aunty next door – she’s just jealous she can’t pull it off like you can.

Denim Skirts
Denim has always been a wardrobe staple, be it jeans or jackets. And now there is one more addition to it – the denim skirt. This Y2K-inspired style is swiftly replacing the low-rise jeans. It is perfect for any occasion, from a casual day out to a night on the town. Opt for a midi length with a fishtail hem for a touch of drama, or keep it simple with a classic mini. One of the most versatile skirts, they can be worn year-round, making them a true wardrobe staple.
Ruffles Skirts
This skirt effortlessly adds a romantic touch to your wardrobe. Perfect for date nights and picnic day-outs, the layers add the needed volume and softness to the look.
If you’re also a fan of the cottagecore aesthetic, the ruffle skirt trend is for you. Pair your ruffle skirt with a cropped sweater and ankle boots for a cosy autumn look, or pair it with a bow blouse with a bow for a soft evening.
