Warm skirts
In summer and spring, dresses and skirts become the main items of our wardrobe. But with the onset of cold weather, many girls abandon these beautiful and feminine things in favor of not so elegant, but more practical jeans and trousers.
The desire to stay healthy is good, but you don't always need to sacrifice beauty and elegance for warmth.
If you do not want to give up your favorite skirts even with the arrival of winter, then, for sure, there are several insulated models in your closet. Skirts made of warm, dense fabrics are the best way to take care of your health without changing your usual feminine style of clothing.
In our today's article, we would like to talk in more detail about the existing varieties of warm skirts: about the best materials, fashionable styles, as well as how and with what to wear autumn and winter skirts.
Popular styles
Since warm skirts are made of very dense materials, the choice of models is significantly limited. Let's consider some of the most successful styles for autumn and winter skirts.
- Pencil skirt - this is a win-win clothing option for any time of the year. A simple, austere silhouette emphasizes the figure's dignity while hiding its flaws.
- A-line skirt - a classic kind of warm skirt. Usually has a midi or maxi length. Suitable for plump girls, as it masks the extra pounds in the thigh area, thanks to a slightly flared silhouette.
- Tatyanka skirt - a fluffy skirt with pleats, set on a yoke. One of the most popular models in the last couple of seasons. It is best suited for slender young ladies, but this style is not contraindicated for donuts either - you just need to choose the elongated version.
Fabrics
Both natural and synthetic materials are used to create warm skirts. To make the products more durable, a material is often chosen that is a mixture of natural and artificial fibers. Let's tell you more about the main types of materials used for sewing autumn and winter skirts:
- Wool... Skirts made of natural wool are very warm, but not always pleasant to the body, therefore various additives are often present in the fabric. Woolen skirts can be woven or knitted.
- Fur. Fully fur skirts are rare. More often you can find models made from several types of materials, among which there is real or artificial fur.
- Bologne. Bolognese skirts are great clothing for winter walks in the fresh air. Bologne is a multi-layer material that does not get wet and retains heat well. Quilted models look especially interesting.
- Tweed. This type of woolen fabric is perfect for sewing warm skirts. It has an unusual, embossed texture. Bold bouclé tweed skirts are a great way to diversify your winter wardrobe.
Seasonal models
For each season, different types of skirts are suitable, because with the onset of coolness, not only the material changes, but also the length, as well as the styles of things.
Winter
In winter, it is very important to keep the legs warm, so for the cold season it is better to give preference to the elongated modelm.
However, if you live in a region with a mild climate or wear long outerwear, then miniskirts may well be a winter option. Short warm skirts go well with both graceful boots and funny felt boots or ugg boots.
The most popular pattern for winter skirts is a cage in various variations. Plaid skirts can liven up even a boring office wardrobe, so at least one such model must be in the wardrobe of a business woman.
Autumn
Although autumn usually does not spoil us with good weather, there are still much more warm days in this season than in winter. Therefore, all the girls have a great opportunity to flaunt their legs in short skirts in the end. The length of the maxi will still have time to get bored during the winter, so for autumn it is better to choose a midi or mini model.
Autumn skirts are made of denser fabrics than summer models, but not as heavy as winter ones. Usually it is denim, leather, corduroy or jacket fabric. Skirts made of such materials are perfectly combined with raincoats, trench coats and coats - ordinary outerwear for the off-season.
Autumn is the time for interesting accessories and unusual footwear. At this time of year, your look can be complemented by bright umbrellas, funny rubber boots, original scarves and gloves.
Length
We usually choose the length of the skirt based not only on the characteristics of our figure, but also taking into account the weather outside the window. The warmest models of skirts usually have a length no higher than the knee - these are the models that are considered optimal for the cold season..
Midi
For many girls and women, mid-length skirts are considered the most comfortable clothing for the cold season. They warm well, but, at the same time, allow active movement. Knee-length skirts, a few centimeters higher or lower, look equally good with high boots and with boots or ankle boots.
The most popular models of warm midi skirts are pencil, trapeze, sun and half sun, as well as bell. Such styles are very feminine, they perfectly emphasize all the advantages of appearance, provided that the model is selected according to the type of figure. Skirts made of dense materials on a wide yoke or corset belt look good.
Long
Long winter skirts are a great alternative to warm trousers.
They allow you to refuse from several pairs of tights and leggings with a fleece. Maxi skirts have existed on the periphery of fashion for quite a few years, but for several fashionable seasons in a row, they have become a real trend.
If fashionistas have already successfully mastered summer long skirts, then with winter models the situation is not so simple. The choice of warm maxi skirts is still not great, although it is difficult to find more suitable women's clothing for the harsh Russian winter.
Therefore, those who know how to handle a needle and thread are in an advantageous position. They can choose the fabric they like in the store and sew a warm skirt for themselves, which will be one of a kind.
Crochet and Knitted
Another option for creating a skirt with your own hands is to remember the needlework lessons and knit a warm thing with a crochet or knitting needles. The knitting method depends on your skills and preferences. On the needles, you can knit straight and tight-fitting models with a pattern of braids, and crochet - fluffy openwork skirts.
A crochet hook is usually used to create summer skirts - intricate patterns are best made with thin threads. But knitting needles are more suitable for working with wool. Knitted skirts are very warm and cute. Experienced craftswomen can knit intricate, incredibly beautiful patterns.
Knitted skirts are best worn with fabric clothing. The combination "knitted skirt + knitted jacket" turns out to be rather heavy.
What to wear with?
In the cold season, many girls are pleased with the opportunity to wear bright tights, stockings and knee-highs. They not only prevent you from freezing, but also give the image a little playfulness and mischief. Cropped and midi skirts go well with these wardrobe items.
Skirts made from warm fabrics can be worn with cozy knitted sweaters, turtlenecks, sweatshirts with fun prints, jackets and vests. Outerwear can be anything, but stylists recommend combining long skirts with a short top, and short ones with a longer one.
Winter and autumn accessories are no less stylish and beautiful than summer ones. It's time to get some original hats, scarves, scarves, mittens and gloves.
