If the linen waistcoat suit ruled the summer months, then we're right on track for an autumn dominated by the top-and-skirt co-ord. In fabrics from autumnal tweed to winter wool and lightweight cotton twill, a skirt co-ord can impart business chic or casual-cool depending on what you're going for. Worn with a thick pair of tights and knee-high boots, there's no reason not to bring your favourite mini or midi lengths with you into the autumn months. Up the ante with a co-ordinating blazer or matching top for an instantly impactful, pulled-together look.
And we're not the only ones being drawn towards the skirt set this autumn—celebrities have cottoned on to their style prowess too. On Thursday, queen of cool Hailey Bieber emerged in an '80s-chic oversized blazer with a knee-length pencil skirt and razor-sharp pointed slingbacks.
Whether you're looking for more of a casual skirt set or are after some fresh office attire, scroll to discover our favourites that you can shop right now.
