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.
Current color range
When looking at the color palette, women can be happy, because you definitely won’t see uniformity and monotony in it. Fashionable women's skirts in mustard, olive, raspberry and pink shades attract with their brightness and originality. These shades can highlight the individual style of a fashionista and add zest to the look.
For the cold season, you should choose blue models. Shades of yellow and orange are also suitable. Stylish blue skirts will be at the peak of popularity.
It is impossible to imagine autumn 2021, as well as the winter-spring season 2021, without pastel shades. Basically, the milky color and all its possible variations will prevail.
Classic colors – black and white – are considered popular; they do not lose their leading positions.
Especially for women, designers tried to diversify the usual forms through bright colors and original combinations, which included current shades. You can see photos of this season’s new items now: stylists offer numerous options for creating current looks.
The fall-winter fashion of the next season may still change, but the main color trends have already been named, so you can start updating your wardrobe by introducing bright shades into it.
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.
Advantages
Such skirts look very beautiful in rich colors, with the so-called theatrical overtones. For example, blue, coffee and dark cherry models are very popular.
When thinking about what to wear with a velvet skirt, do not forget that the main purpose of the material is, after all, an evening wardrobe. The historical roots of this noble fabric go far into the past, when luxurious clothes were made from it for the ladies of the court. The most famous designers have repeatedly dictated the fashion for everyday and even business velvet skirts. However, it is the elegant models that look truly beautiful. By the way, in addition to deep shades, classic black color combined with gold or silver also looks very rich.
In a business and casual wardrobe, you need to be careful with velvet. Sometimes attempts to “fit” it in here are not very successful. Although, playing an unusual role for itself, velvet can quite interestingly act as a bright casual detail. A short skirt, for example, goes very harmoniously with warm knitted jackets and sweaters. A dark model with a white top is perfectly complemented by a velvet jacket. Thus, the everyday street look is “diluted” and becomes a little glamorous. In principle, you can wear various blouses and long-sleeved blouses under the jacket. Heels in combination with a narrow velvet model with a high waistline add sophistication to the look.
Don't neglect accessories either. They are always the highlight of a woman's wardrobe. Along with a velvet skirt, a velvet accessory will look great, both in evening and everyday looks. It could be absolutely any little thing. For example, gloves, an original scarf or handbag.
Recently, fashion designers have given particular preference to velvet shoes. And not only sophisticated evening shoes, but also rather utilitarian ankle boots.
Well, if you consider velvet too binding, then you can choose another option - corduroy. It looks much more appropriate in a daytime wardrobe. The most “safe” for the figure is fine ribbed corduroy.
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.
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.
Trend 2. Skirts with a metallic effect: “space” style for autumn-winter 2018-2019
Metallic is the most popular trend in 2021. Compared to other seasons, metallic skirts have become even more original and catchy. Along with pleated “metallic” models, this season we can see straight and tight-fitting skirts, densely decorated with sequins imitating fish scales.
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.

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.
Gaudet
Skirts are at the peak of popularity. Fashionistas love their femininity and elegance. A variety of materials, colors and decorative elements made this item universal.
In 2021, this product has firmly established itself not only in everyday, but also in work wardrobes. Restraint, conciseness and elegance are exactly what should be present in the image.
There is one more advantage that has made such a product very popular: the skirt performs a corrective function. For some it adds volume in the right places, while for others it neatly hides everything.
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.
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.
How to correctly compose an image
Decide where and why you are going. Take a closer look at your wardrobe and decide what you are going to wear today. Perhaps you are going on a date? First of all, you must have an idea of your image. This is what will help you in correctly composing your bow.
Take a closer look, haven't you mixed too many different fabrics? Agree, it’s quite strange to see velvet with neoprene. Such things easily ruin your entire look, given that velvet itself is a fairly heavy material.
Velvet combines quite harmoniously and gets along with silk, satin, denim and other materials, just don’t make yourself look like cabbage.
