7 Statement Skirts and How to Wear Them Sophie PrescottJanuary 26, 201714 viewsFashion0 Comments14 views The Asymmetric Cut Top – New Look, £20 // Skirt – Boohoo, £12 // Choker – Mango, £14.99 // Bronzer – NARS in ‘Laguna’, £27.50 // Lipstick – Mac in ‘Velvet Teddy’, £15.50 // Shoes – Charlotte Russe, £25 This is a look that wouldn’t look out of place on a Kardashian, and it’s all about the glamour. This pairing may be plain, but the asymmetric shape and cut out panels modernise the look, with on-point accents such as lace-up heels and a barely-there choker – just add bronzer and you’re ready to go! Sports Luxe Top – Topshop, £8 // Skirt – New Look, £12.99 // Scrunchie – Accessorize, £5 // Backpack – River Island, £55 // Trainers – Adidas Originals, £67 Sports-inspired looks are always fun, and with 90s throwbacks still very much in fashion, there are lots of options available with this look. Sleek accessories liven up a basic skirt and top duo – style with a high ponytail in a retro scrunchie, and you’ll look too good to hit the gym! The Metallic Skirt Top – New Look, £7.99 // Skirt – River Island, £30 // Bag – Warehouse, £35 // Shoes – Public Desire, £25 // Watch – Olivia Burton, £75 One of the trickiest trends to pull off at the moment would be metallic skirts – a look which doesn’t always have to look space-age. Keep things subdued with this gorgeous rose gold skirt, teamed with white and nude accessories for a more subtle, wearable look. Coachella Hippy Chic Top – Mango, £34.99 // Skirt, Glamourous @ Topshop, £36 // Rings – New Look, £12.99 // Body Chain – New Look, £9.99 // Shoes – H&M, £15 The most stylish music festival on the planet showcased some gorgeous hippie-inspired looks by our favourite celebrities this year. This statement skirt might seem daring at first, but when paired with the right jewellery and a minimalist matching bralet, then you’re ready to party in style. The A-Line Midi Earrings – Love Rocks, £16 // Clutch – Asos, £15 // Shoes – Pretty Little Thing, £30 // Top – Miss Selfridge, £14 // Skirt – Topshop, £55 Channelling retro-inspired looks without looking old-fashioned can be difficult, but the trick is to use staple retro pieces (here, a classic skirt teamed with a bardot neckline) and update them using accessories. Not only do the pastels transform this look into the 21st century, but the metalics add a chic, ultramodern twist. Monochrome Co-ords Co-ordinates – V London @ New Look, £22.99 // Rings – Dorothy Perkins, £8.50 // Clutch – Dorothy Perkins, £10 // Shoes – Miss KG, £70 Make heads turn by updating a monochrome co-ords set with a daring pop of colour. Bright yellow may not be for the faint hearted, but the bright heel of these shoes combined with a statement bag is enough to shake up your outfit without looking too loud. The Bohemian Maxi Bag – Cat of Fashions, £13 // Top – Motel Rocks, £22 // Skirt – Boohoo, £16 // Headband – Crown & Glory, £25 // Necklace – Loli Bijoux, £27 // Shoes – Just Fab, £44 This trend is all over the high street at the moment, and an effortless boho style can be thrown together in minutes and still look fabulous. Play down a bold print with darker colours, then accessorise with everything in-fitting with the trend – fringing and gladiator sandals are a must! Sophie Prescott
