Skirts

From desk to drinks, having a range of beautifully tailored designer skirts in your wardrobe is key – whatever the season. Investing in a Carla Zampatti designer skirt is a wise addition to your wardrobe, as the quality craftsmanship, attention to detail and timeless style are sure to be reasons for your skirt to be reached for again and again.

How to style a skirt

You may have wondered, does this go with this? There is a lot more that goes into styling separates than simply choosing accessories for a dress or jumpsuit. Matching a skirt with a top can sometimes seem worrisome, but having more options means that you are able to make more outfits out of one item.

Styling a skirt is easy with a few considerations to keep in mind:

1. Are you able to tuck in your top? Most skirts look more considered when a top is able to seamlessly tuck into it. This will also help to create shape to your silhouette, as the waist of the skirt will create a cinched-in effect when a top or shirt is tucked in.

2. Do you need to wear heels with this skirt? Depending on the silhouette, your skirt may need to be worn with heels. A pencil skirt will be more flattering when worn with a heel, while a bias cut or A-line can be worn with heels, boots, flats or sneakers. When styling your skirt, keep in mind the length and where it sits on your leg, and this should help determine whether you should opt for heels.

3. Can this skirt be dressed up or down? When looking for pieces that can be worn to multiple events, it is essential to decipher whether it can be (or cannot be) worn casually and formally. As you invest in a designer item, it is natural to want to get the most possible wear that you can – but this depends on the versatility of the item. A bias skirt can be easily dressed down with a tee and sneakers but also transitioned into the evening with heels and a cami. A pencil skirt is easily dressed-up but is harder to pull off casually. If you are looking for a specific occasion, it is not essential to follow this consideration, but for the cost of wear, it can be helpful to consider.
