The desire to look feminine and elegant even in the cold season is quite natural. A skirt, as one of the basic elements of a woman's wardrobe, can also be seasonal. Chiffon and silk are replaced by compacted materials, bright colors are replaced by seasoned shades, styles are simplified, and only the power of design thought can make changes popular and desirable.
Fashion trends for skirts fall-winter 2017-2018 are based not only on seasonal needs. The designers have worked on absolutely all areas: styles, textures, colors are presented in both classic and modern combinations. Atypical techniques, interesting design solutions - this is what distinguishes fashionable skirts for autumn-winter 2017-2018.
Warm materials
Using such “simple” materials as wool, tweed and knitwear, designers create quite a variety of looks. Despite the fact that the silhouettes are mostly repeated, the designers relied on color and design.
Noble shades of autumn (Anteprima) and bright prints with a seasonal theme, like Teatum Jones, are in fashion. Having one of these skirts in stock, you can not be afraid of either the cold weather or fashion critics.
Velvet skirts
One of the main trends of the season is velvet fashionable skirts. Photos from the shows show us how easily and naturally the designers were able to use such a difficult material in everyday looks. The secret is quite simple - elongated styles and deep shades. Both are appropriate in everyday style, so why not take advantage of them?!
Velvet skirts always look luxurious, but if that's not enough for you, choose models with a floor length or a dramatic slit, like Yeohlee. To create a less baroque style, take a closer look at models from Angelo Marani and Giorgio Armani - asymmetrical cuts and multi-colored prints will help balance the look.
#1 Long pencil skirt

The best way to highlight the grace of a woman's hips. The style hugs the figure along the entire line of the legs, enhancing the hourglass effect. Long models create difficulties when moving, therefore they have a cut, a smell, or are made of stretchy knitted fabrics.
For those with modest measurements, high-waist options are suitable; for curvaceous beauties, it is better to choose a standard or low waist.
Visually lengthening the height, the model is not suitable for tall, thin girls, but in combination with a thin heel or an elegant rock, it will give a statuesque look to short girls.
Midi length
A midi skirt is a characteristic feature of the autumn-winter season, where practicality sets the tone. These skirts are comfortable and very elegant. By revealing only a small part of the legs, they maintain intrigue without ambiguous hints.
Fashionable midi skirts this season are distinguished by a loose fit and restrained colors - all shades of brown and classic black were presented on the catwalks. Prints, designs and variable lengths add variety. Ankle-length midi skirts were presented by Agnes B. and Mario Dice.
Non-standard silhouette
Color range of skirts for the cold season 2016-2017. The color palette of the new season is very rich. The most current colors: olive, mustard, raspberry and even bright red.
Leather skirts
Leather is a material that lasts forever, literally and figuratively. Leather skirts are comfortable, practical, not a single autumn-winter season can be done without them, and this one was no exception (Tod'S).
The main decoration of the monolithic shiny texture of the skin is color. The designers presented a fairly wide range of colors: black, red (Teatum Jones), blue, brown - leather looks impressive in all colors. Depending on your preferred style, combine the skirt with a blazer, turtleneck, shirt or jacket.
#5 Bell skirt

Drawings and prints look best on a bell skirt, since it does not have any special creases or draperies. Fabrics made from wool, leather, and cotton are well suited for the cold seasons of the year. The cut of the style, knee-length or slightly lower, adds romance and femininity to the image, immediately attracting attention.
The versatility of the model is that it can hide full or too narrow hips, emphasizing the waist. The bell skirt is quite wide, so it is better to take a simple and dull top for it. Looks good with heels and solid soles.
Pleated skirts
Designers have made pleated skirts the trend of the season and for good reason. Pleated skirts go well with wool sweaters, voluminous blazers and make the look more feminine (Bora Aksu). The characteristic “staircase” looks best on light materials - chiffon or silk, so the designers did not change the successful combination.
The trend is midi length and delicate, atypical shades for autumn (Carolina Herrera).
Combine a pleated skirt with dressy tops, blouses, or mix styles for a more original look, like Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini.
Shiny fabrics
Glitter and radiance are what distinguishes the fall-winter 2017-2018 skirts. This season's fashion trends are more focused on casual style, so designers abandoned sequins and rhinestones and chose fabrics that shine on their own.
Skirts made from shiny materials come in a wide variety. This applies not only to styles and colors, but also to length. For a classic look, opt for midi skirts in neutral shades, like Temperley London or MaxMara.

Pleated skirts 2021
Pleating on skirts is a beautiful fold that frames a woman’s hips. Under them you can perfectly hide all the disadvantages of your figure. Skirts of this style can be either long or short.
Prints and patterns
Nothing brightens up a skirt more than a stylish pattern that can create a whole story. This season is dominated by floral designs, abstraction and stylish geometry.
The color range is quite extensive. In addition to classic combinations like Rochas, designers offered original and unexpected combinations. For example, fashionable godet skirts with khaki print from Dion Lee or narrative compositions from Alice Olivia.
Fashionable long skirts this season are decorated not only with scenes, but also with picturesque ornaments. To make light-hearted designs and patterns look organically in your everyday look, combine the skirt with warm sweaters or leather turtlenecks, as Aigner did.
Fashionable colors of skirts for the fall-winter season 2017-2018.
The palette of colors is replete with variety. Literally speaking, an explosion of color. For the colors of fashionable women's skirts, there was a place for yellowish-brown, bronze-olive, purple-raspberry and red colors, as well as their various shades. Especially in the cold winter, skirts in colorful yellow, orange and azure shades are popular.
But the king of the winter collection was the rich blue color. Such models look original, fresh and relevant.
Black and white women's skirts remain a classic style. These colors do not age, but the highlight of 2021 will be a new urban style of styles that add femininity and sexuality.
The most common youth images on fashionable skirts 2021 will be flora and fauna, large and small cells, abstraction and wide stripes.
Short skirts
Fashionable short skirts this season are a symbiosis of femininity, practicality and style. Extreme mini length is excluded. Designers presented a wide variety of models with lengths just above the knee, like Emilio de la Morena.
Short skirts can be any style, but designers preferred a-line and straight silhouettes.
The trend is fashionable denim skirts in various interpretations and models made of warm materials, like Louis Vuitton.
Fashionable flared skirts
The once popular models of sun-flared skirts are back in trend. Light and airy models will not leave any woman indifferent, because what could better complement an elegant, romantic and even business look. You can verify this by looking at the works of: Baum und Pferdgarten, Carolina Herrera, CG, Ganni, Mia Pailodze and Vivetta.
Asymmetrical skirts
Skirts with asymmetrical hems are one of the most interesting trends of the season. Need I say that such models will add originality to any image?
To make the idea more expressive, pair the skirt with contrasting boots, like Mulberry or Aquilano.Rimondi.
Lightness of Being
The autumn-winter season is the time when parting with chiffon, satin and silk seems inevitable. But even in fashion there is room for compromise. Designers against rules and nature offered fashionable skirts made of chiffon and silk, which fit quite well into the cold season (Noon By Noor).
The trend is based on midi length and light shades with floral motifs. Remember to compromise, pair a “summer” skirt with an insulated top or with autumn accessories, such as leather gloves, as Toga did.
High waist – the trend of the cold season 2017-2018
It's no secret that fashion is cyclical, and everything new is well forgotten old. So the style of high-waisted skirts has come back into fashion. Modern fashion designers have masterfully updated the main trend, using many fresh ideas, and now we can see a variety of trendy high-waisted skirts. Among which I would especially like to highlight works from: Bevza, Elena Burba, Flow, Katerina Kvit, Navro and Salvatore Ferragamo.
