Elegant and Uncomplicated—This is the Skirt Trend Every Sophisticated Dresser is Wearing Now
Classy and on-trend, this is the elegant skirt fashion people are fawning over now.
If you want a read on the most sophisticated silhouettes of the season, might I suggest a scroll through Gwyneth Paltrow's Instagram page? Rife with elegant knitwear and some of the chicest new-season styling, her feed is an abundant source of inspiration. A near-weekly ritual of mine, I was enjoying my usual scroll this week when I spotted Gwyneth swap her time-tested denim for an elegant skirt trend, styling it with knee-high boots and a knit.
Opting for a sleek pencil-skirt silhouette, Gwyneth bypassed the fresh-from-the-runway knee-length designs in favour of a slightly longer, calf-skimming cut. Paired with glossy leather boots, she crafted an easy styling formula I'm certain we'll see much more of as winter progresses.
Completing the look with a blouse in a tonal shade of navy, Gwyneth introduced a pop of colour with an orange bag slung across her body.
Having made their presence felt across runway collections this season, pencil skirts are well and truly back on the fashion person's radar, offering a sophisticated alternative to the jeans and trousers we so often rely on. Ever inspired by Gwyneth's wardrobe, I've rounded up the chicest pencil skirts to shop below.
