4 reasons to add a skirt to your wardrobe this Spring:

#1 Skirts are joyful.

A skirt is a perfect way to add a pop of color, pattern or texture to your wardrobe. I love a skirt with some structure like taffeta or a stiff cotton because it holds it’s shape and you really “see” the fabric. It’s like wearing a canvas that expresses your personal style. Maybe for you that’s a bright color, bold stripe, traditional gingham, pretty floral or classic neutral. Also, twirling = joy!

#2 Skirts are versatile.

Many people think of skirts as a dressy item but they can be incredibly casual too. I love pairing skirts with tanks, t-shirts, sweatshirts and sneakers.

The same skirt can easily be styled with strappy sandals, a cropped cardigan or a crisp white blouse for a dressy event.

Carolina Herrera is the queen of the skirt and crisp white button down combination and I love her classic skirt designs - always with pockets! Investing in a skirt will add so many outfits to your wardrobe - it’s definitely worth it.

Clients have told me they don’t typically buy or wear skirts because they don’t know what to wear them with. Don’t over think it - wear what you would wear with pants. And you can tuck or tie your tops at the waist or opt for an almost cropped top to highlight the waist band. 

#3 Skirts are comfortable.

If you have an hourglass or pear shaped figure you’ll find skirts are very comfortable. Your legs are totally free underneath and I love wearing a skirt on a long flight. A skirt is also incredibly cool and comfortable on a hot day. 

#4 Skirts are unique.

Everyone has pants and tops in their wardrobe and nearly every woman has dresses as well. But not everyone has skirts. Skirts are unexpected, especially when you juxtapose them with something casual on top - try a graphic T-shirt on top!
