Work skirts may not be the most exciting items in your closet to shop for, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still have some fun finding really flattering and professional pieces. Yes, they are often basic shapes and neutral colors, but this make them a perfect canvas to show off a more daring colored top or bold accessories that show off your style.
Year-Round Work Skirts
My favorite choice for a year-round work skirt is a nice black & white tweed in a classic shape like a pencil skirt. You can’t go wrong with this one. Pair it with a light, silky top in the summer and spring, and try some knee-high boots in the winter. My other choice for a year-round basic is a cotton or cotton-blend skirt in a pencil shape (yes, again) or an A-line.
Personally, I love pencil skirts because they are a universally flattering style, so you simply can’t go wrong there, and they are basic enough that you can truly wear them over and over with different tops and shoes without anyone noticing the repetition, so they are also fantastic for your budget.
It’s good to focus on basic colors for your year-round skirts and use tops, shoes or accessories to add a punch a color. You will be able to get a lot more wear out of these in a basic color, and they will be a good base for a lot of different looks. Good color choices for this skirt are black (always), gray or tan, and you can go with either a solid or a subtle stripe or pattern in any of these colors.
