Style Notes

KEY PIECES

This satin floral skirt has a very strong summery vibe but it is a lot more versatile than it might seem!

With the occasion season just around the corner (if you have any communions, confirmations, friends’ weddings, christenings, etc coming up, this could well be a solution to a lot of those!), easy separates is what could give you a variety of options without having to buy a new dress every time.

If you already have a floral skirt in a dressy fabric in your wardrobe, look closely at styling solutions and see if you can apply those to the pieces you already own!

STYLING IDEAS

If you don’t own any dressy white tops in your wardrobe, keep an eye out! This is one staple that can easily transform pretty much any piece!

I have 3 white tops for you here, each offering a slightly different look.

White blouse with floral design on the fabric creates an effect of two mixed prints without making the look OTT (Look 2). You can also team it with jeans, trousers and other skirts to create effortlessly dressed up looks.

Both tops from Reiss (bardot from Look 3 and draped cut from Look 4) offer solid dressy solutions for this skirt as well as a variety of other pieces in your wardrobe, so always have a little top like that on standby. You’ll be turning to it over and over again!

The print of the skirt gives an opportunity to create colourful looks with red, yellow and blue so will work if you like bold striking ensembles.

DECIDING IF THIS IS RIGHT FOR YOU

Satin skirts have become a staple that is here to stay for a few seasons. They work really well for both occasion and smart casual wardrobes.

It will work for you if you want a piece that can be easily dressed up for a special occasion, or just as easily dressed down for a weekend lunch or even brought on holidays!

The shape works on most figures.

If you have a bit of a tummy or at your broadest in the hips, try a size bigger to allow the fabric to drape.

Additional Options

Dress Down

Satin and knitwear go beautifully together for an effortless smart casual look. 

Pair the skirt with knee-high or ankle boots, add a nice knit and you are good to go!

You can even further dress the skirt down by teaming it with trainers, a t-shirt and either a biker or a denim jacket

Colours

When you are looking at a print, always ask yourself – do you have these colours in your wardrobe?

If you don’t, that means that in order to make the piece work, you’ll have to add a few other pieces.

There is nothing wrong with that when you do that with a plan. That way you can make sure that all the additional pieces will be worn in other combination with already existing pieces in your wardrobe.

The beauty of the print in this skirt is that it has primary colours – yellow, red and blue and these colours are pretty easy to incorporate into most wardrobes, especially if you are doing that through accessories.

The main thing is to think these things through before you commit to buying something!
