Skirts Are *It* for Fall—6 Outfits That Will Dominate the Fashion Scene

The buzziest looks from the fall/winter 2023 collections have one thing in common: skirts. Skirts on their own are hardly groundbreaking as a clothing category since there are new versions each season, but what is interesting are the strong designs, fresh silhouettes, and already-viral quality of the pieces that are dropping this fall. Prada's floral-embellished circle skirts and miniskirts, in particular, caused a wave of commentary on the internet when they debuted. Now that they are arriving in stores, they are causing an equal frenzy of excitement among the fashion crowd as they are clamoring to test-drive them and add them to their wardrobes.

Other fall skirts are primed to take over this season, including everything from the pencil skirts that will dominate the corporate trend to the fresh ways we're seeing maxi skirts styled. Here are the fall outfits with skirts to add to your arsenal of looks for the season ahead.

Easily, some of the most talked-about looks from the fall/winter 2023 collections are the A-line circle skirts that were seen throughout the season, including Dior. The high-volume circle skirts will no doubt be hot items on the street style scene at fashion month this season.
