Even if you feel great in trousers, trendy skirts of the fall-winter 2017-2018 season will melt your heart. And it will not be enough with one new thing, because it is impossible to choose between an attractive pencil style, a sun skirt and a trapeze. And if you add here a variety of fabrics – from dense skin to flowing delicate chiffon – then the number of top models will increase at times.
But you can safely say that the time of androgyny has remained in the past. Now it’s not fashionable to look like a teenager with an appropriate wardrobe and outlook on life. The main criteria are femininity and practicality, without which the wardrobe turns into a huge pile of fashionable, but meaningless things. More specifically, what skirts will be in fashion in the cold season 2017-2018 – in our review.
Skirt – Pleated
The prima of the autumn-winter collections – a slender thin fold – is steadily associated in girls with a school uniform. Apparently, that’s why the girls are in no hurry to let the accordion pleats into their wardrobe. But in fact, a thin unstitched fold looks advantageous on women of any complexion and fits perfectly both in a strict office look and in a carefree romantic look for walks.
Almost every second fashion house included pleats in their collection and each of them presented their new vision of pleated skirts. For example, Marco de Vincenzo experimented with the arrangement of pleats, Vivienne Tam and Mary Katrantzou combined materials of different colors and textures, while Carolina Herrera and Loewe presented a simple cut of a pleated skirt.
But the essence does not change – the length below the knee is a key feature of a fashionable pleated skirt.
Fashion Trend of the Season – Basque
Another fashionable, but unfairly forgotten decision again proudly marches on the catwalks. The gait of a girl in a peplum skirt becomes graceful, and her hips seem more expressive. Only in the fall-winter 2017-2018 season there are rules: the peplum adorns the hem, and not as before the skirt belt.
Basque harmoniously blends in not only with evening and everyday looks, but also enlivened the classic office look. And soft flounces adorning the hem looked organically even on thick felt and leather skirts.
Shuttlecocks, draperies and ruffles
The complexity of style and overall image is about skirts with draperies and flounces. But in reality, everything is not so complicated: the most concise and expressive splendor is in fashion, but not multi-layered and variegated. Therefore, give preference to monochrome skirts from simple fabrics, but with an original design.
Separately, it is worth highlighting the shuttlecocks along the hem of asymmetric models. Monse, Emilio de la Morena, Versace and several dozens of other designers predicted the fashion for grotesque, expressiveness and even asceticism – the image should be recognizable and thought out to the smallest detail.
Skirt with a scent
The skirt with a scent- is experiencing another peak of popularity. The classic length and a reasonable amount of decor make these models absolutely comfortable and practical for everyday wear. Of course, the cut will attract the views of all the surrounding men, but why not allow yourself a little pampering in the framework of decency?
Designers did not stop at just one detail; they used other details. Slender rows of buttons, bright shades, wide belts – these are just some of the tricks that Bottega Veneta, Salvatore Ferragamo and Vanessa Seward used on their catwalks. The skirt with a scent – from Dion Lee and completely acquired a slightly different look – turned out modern and very unusual.
Slit skirt
Another participant in the fashion parade is a seductive side cut. It looks organically on midi and maxi length skirts, exposing just as much as is permitted by decency and common sense. Bare feet of models, designers try to show their femininity and beauty, but not vulgarity and licentiousness. Therefore, the styles are as simple as possible, and only soft flounces, ruffles and frills are used as decor.
Another variation – the front cut – conquered fashion critics and ordinary viewers even more than the side. At the shows of Jil Sander, Max Mara, Nicole Miller, he was an integral part of strict pencil skirts and direct models of costume type. The incision in this case should be modest and become noticeable only when walking.
And Michael Kors and Diesel Black Gold showed how feminine and sophisticated you can look even in a leather and velvet skirt, if it has a deep cut.
Asymmetry
Especially popular at the fashion shows autumn-winter 2017-2018 were asymmetric skirts with a smell, peplum or slit. Moreover, the sharper the cut will go to the side and the stronger the front edge of the panel will be shifted, the better.
Balmain, Jason Wu and Dennis Basso showed great ideas on how to bring an asymmetrical high-cut skirt not only in the evening, but also in the everyday look..
And if the soul requires originality, and circumstances allow you to wear something like that, immediately pull out the midi or maxi with a “torn” hem from the closet. Wide wedges, by the way, perfectly compensate for the excess volume in the hips. So skirts in the style of Dsquared² or Aquilano.Rimondi are the perfect choice for women with the type of figure “apple” or “pear”.
Transparent skirts
Cold is not a sentence if you like to wear transparent skirts. Designers have prepared many ideas on how to beat chiffon and organza. The most practical idea is to wear a transparent skirt over a thick cover or cropped trousers..
But absolutely “naked” models also have the right to life. The length is not higher than the knee, otherwise there is a risk with a fashionable beauty turning into a vulgar person. And despite the fact that designers demonstrate a strict office look with a transparent skirt, you don’t need to come to work in this form.
Insulated skirts
Fashionable things in the autumn-winter season should be practical, and therefore warm. Skirts made from merino, wool, tweed, fur, cashmere best illustrate this rule..
Such things warm well in winter, do not deteriorate from wearing under outer clothing, and have high wear resistance and attractiveness. Designers tried to make fashion warm and cozy – exactly the one you dreamed about..
High waist
On a par with trousers high-waisted skirts in a high-rise fashion. Such a cut visually makes the legs longer and the waist narrower.
This cut is especially relevant for strict office models that go well with fitted blouses and shirts, plain coats and elegant heeled shoes.
Floral print
The flowering of the summer garden cannot be stopped even in the autumn-winter season. Roses, peonies, field cornflowers and other floral patterns will capture your entire wardrobe. And it is pointless to resist this trend – in the cold autumn you yourself will want to extend the summer.
If you add a skirt with a bright floral print to the painted bag and blouse in roses, you will look according to all the canons of modern fashion. Warm skirts decorated with a floral applique look especially chic, along with fur coats and short fur coats that are unbuttoned.
Peas
Retro mood never leaves high fashion. But this season, the familiar black and white peas gave way to more unusual variations. The main thing is that such skirts look absolutely not old-fashioned.
Cell
There is nothing more autumn than a dense tweed, knitwear and checked wool. The main trend of the season became the Prince of Wales cage, without which it is impossible to imagine an autumn business wardrobe. The cage is found both in the classic black and white version of both Daks and Balenciaga, and brighter as the Marco de Vincenzo and Brock Collection.
A goose foot, which can act as a print both independently and in combination with other types of cells, is also in fashion. Moreover, as in the previous case, the designers did not become attached to the classic black and white combination, any color variations are in fashion.
Leather skirt
Leather mini though not too associated with elegance and femininity, however, are number one in the autumn-winter collections. Balmain, Saint Laurent, Daks, David Koma and other well-known brands included leather skirts in their collections..
But the masthead of the upcoming season was not mini, but dense skirts of medium length. They can be made in classic black matte or glossy color, or in colored leather. The main condition is only genuine leather.
A-line skirt
Laconic and even strict a-line skirt is the key character of almost every other fashion collection. This season, it is not advised to weight it with additional elements, except perhaps with a small applique or simple pattern..
A distinctive feature of trend a-line skirts will be a high waist. She is able to visually lengthen the figure, accurately contour the hips and reduce the waist – you still wondering if you need this skirt?
Pencil skirt
Another office dream has been firmly on top of the fashion hit parade for five years now. Just this year, the pencil skirt changed its appearance – it became more free, original, non-standard.
Now it’s quite acceptable to decorate a pencil skirt with embroidery, feathers, sequins, locks and rivets.
Sun skirt”
If there is little heat in the fall, be sure to buy a frivolous skirt-sun, half-sun or bell. This style does not fit into the framework of a certain style, so you can wear such a model with both boats and rough boots, with a short grunge jacket or a strict coat.
As for length, designers prefer low-key midi and maxi. Although, in such a decision there is a share of rationality: in a short flying skirt you can’t walk in the cold.
Mini skirts
As for length, designers like to surprise the public with provocative decisions like miniskirts in the cold season. But in order to look appropriately in a mini, you need to maintain balance by combining revealing mini with elongated jackets, thin sweaters, over the knee boots and stocking boots.
Maxi skirts
Maxi length, although not the most practical, but certainly the most fashionable. Moreover, this year the designers made a bet on the length not to the floor, but to the ankles. This length will not hinder walking and is suitable for rainy autumn weather.
Skirts on the floor can be sewn from leather, velvet, knitwear, silk – there are no restrictions on the density and type of fabric. As, however, with regard to color – blue, green, red and even yellow skirts are equally popular along with basic beige, black and gray models. Also in trend are peas, cage, shuttlecocks and decorative belts – all that we wrote about above.
Midi Skirts
Finally, there is always a compromise option to the provocative mini and overly restrained maxi – the length of the midi. Skirts below the knee filled all the fashion capitals, because this length is better than others corresponds to femininity and is suitable for the cold season. Colorful ideas from Loewe, Rochas, Max Mara and Daks were especially remembered.
Midi can even be worn in a club, the main thing is to choose a model with an interesting decor (embroidery, print, high waist, cut or smell) and combine it with suitable fashionable shoes.
Fashionable skirts of the upcoming fall-winter season 2017-2018 will appeal to both practical girls and more original beauties. In any case, it will be warm: fashion gurus welcome a little eclecticism, allowing, for example, to combine light skirts with leather jackets and woolen cardigans.
Be the most fashionable and stylish beauty! Good luck!
