The weather is beginning to shift. Be prepared with these long skirts, available to shop now. They will shelter you from the cold and sway in the wind.
Autumn has shown its cards. The sun rises later in the mornings and disappears earlier in the evenings. The wind whips through
If not, I’ll propose another. The colder weather brings about an opportunity for slightly more intricate dressing. When summer’s heat bears down, you’re given a few less layers to play with. Now, you can begin to pile them back on.
Let’s begin here, with long skirts. They’re an ideal piece for transitioning between the seasons – buffering the breeze and catching cinematically in wind gusts.
They’re also an excellent base for layering. For warmth, you might reach for tights or long socks. For style, you might overlay long tops, skirts or belts. Consider this collection for inspiration. There are styles to suit a range of preferences, from academic plaids to sheer drapery.
A basque waistline gives this long skirt sturdier structure. It comes in a wide selection of patterns, including this preppy plaid, red gingham. and blue and black pinstripes, as well as more neutral black and white colourways (the latter also has a linen fabric option).
