What Skirts Are In for Autumn? Styles and Outfit Ideas

A straight skirt creates a clean line that works with everything from a tucked-in tee and cardigan to a relaxed sweater, making it a practical choice when you want an outfit that feels put-together without much effort. Our Autumn Straight Cotton Blend Skirt with Drawstring Waist and Slit Hem brings together a straight silhouette, a drawstring waist, and a slit hem; pair it with sneakers for a casual day or ankle boots when you want a more seasonal look.

Midi skirts are an easy transition into fall because their longer length pairs naturally with boots, loafers, and layers, while still leaving room to play with proportions. Try a fitted top with a fuller midi skirt, or balance a straighter midi with an oversized sweater; if the hem falls at an awkward point with your boots, experiment with a different boot height or a shoe that shows a little ankle.

Check the product’s listed specifications when evaluating make room for midi lengths.

Denim and cotton blends work well for casual autumn dressing, while wool and wool-blend skirts can bring a more tailored feel to office outfits or colder days. Think about how much movement you need when choosing a skirt: a little room through the hips and a walkable hem can make a difference on a commute, and following the garment’s care label will help you choose the right washing method for its fabric.

For early autumn, wear your skirt with a lightweight knit or button-down, then add a jacket, tights, or taller boots as the temperature drops. Our team likes to start with one simple skirt and change the layers around it, and you can explore more outfit ideas in our guide to autumn skirts.
