The skirt is an absolute classic that has established itself over time as a synonym for femininity. It's no wonder that the garment dominated the catwalks during fashion weeks in Paris, London and New York. We give you an overview of the latest fashion trends for 2020 and explain which skirts for women we will wear next year, which cuts, fabrics and patterns are really popular and what the pieces can be combined with.
Skirts for Women: Draped mini and midi skirts
Next year, draped skirts will continue to be absolute must-haves for every fashion-conscious woman. The trendy garment impresses with a stylish tailored cut and elegant draping on the front or side. TheMini and midi skirtsThey don't sit as tight as a pencil skirt, they allow the skin to breathe and are therefore ideal for the warm season. In 2020, we'll be wearing velvet miniskirts to cocktail parties and pairing them with a breezy blouse with ruffles. In the office, we choose models that end mid-thigh and round off the outfit with a chic shirt in a solid color. When it comes to colors, whatever you like is allowed. Check patterns, natural motifs and dots are particularly popular.
Pleated skirt as a fashion statement
It was forgotten for a long time, but in the last two years it has experienced a real revival: the pleated skirt continues to be one of the most popular models and is being interpreted in a modern way this year. Pleated skirts traditionally reach above the knee. In September 2019, numerous designers also sent their models down the catwalk with calf-length pieces. Together with a tailored blazer and a blouse with a stand-up collar, the skirt creates a chic and at the same timeensemble suitable for everyday use. Long-shaft boots or pumps go perfectly with this. Anything goes in terms of color: from subtle basics in beige, camel or cream, to fine check or striped patterns that further refine the look.
The pencil skirt is a real all-rounder
The pencil skirt was still very popular in the 50s. More than 70 years later, the garment has become an integral part of the fashion-conscious woman's wardrobe. The classic with a high waist and a tight cut subtly emphasizes the feminine curves. In 2020, fashion designers are giving it an update. It is no longer made exclusively from cotton, jersey or tweed, but now also from denim, leather or even lace. While the classic version looks very elegant and can be styled with shirts, the denim pencil skirt is sporty. Depending on the fabric and pattern, the garment can always be re-staged. For example, an oversized sweater and over-the-knee boots go well with the checked tweed skirt. Skirts made of patent leather can be easily combined with a T-shirt and lace-up boots.
The fabric that caused a sensation in the 70s - corduroy - is finding its way back into fashion stores and into the hearts of fashion bloggers. Corduroy mini skirts are the trendy piece of clothing for the fall and winter seasons. They feature embroidery, have a flounced edge made of tulle or a decorative button placket. They are combined with a tight and short corduroy blazer and a blouse with ruffles.
Boots with kitten heels effectively round off the retro outfit. Since the corduroy skirt itself is a real eye-catcher, the designers specifically avoided patterns and prints. Instead, in the cold season we wear skirts in earth tones such as rust red, powder pink, beige and cream.
