Do you tend to only wear pants and a sweater in the winter? Here are some awesome ways to change it up! Outfits using skirts and dresses can be just as warm and they take the “mom chicness” to another level… without sacrificing comfort!
If you are new to the blog, our purpose here is to give you tips, advice, and style ideas to keep your outfits look cute, classy and in-style, while keeping our focus on mom-friendly. It’s hard enough to keep outfits staying mostly clean throughout our daily life, let alone try and figure out what’s trending or in style for the current season.
The photos below come from members of our community who fearlessly accepted our challenge to style skirts and dresses for fall/winter weather.
Before we get started, though, here are a few tips for styling outfits well.
Tips For Wearing Skirts & Dresses Without Looking Frumpy
- Get leggings and tights! For leggings, have a pair of neutral (black or brown) as well as solid color (burgundy, navy, olive) ones. For tights (great when you’re wearing something other than boots) black ones will work with everything!
- Accessorize! Time to pull out those cute scarves and belts.
- Layer! To get an skirt or dress to be super cozy and warm, think about base layers + middle layers + top layers. Example:
- Layer 1: Cami + Denim Skirt
- Layer 2: Button-Down Shirt + Leggings
- Layer 3: Cardigan + Boots
- It all comes down to proportions. Balance flowy pieces with fitted pieces to avoid looking frumpy.
- Flowy dresses can be worn with belts or structured jackets/cardigan
- Flowy skirts should be countered with a fitted top. You can do a full or partial tuck for further definition.
- Mini and knee-length skirts are the easiest to style without looking bulky. Just add tights or leggings and boots for great proportions.
