In summer and spring, dresses and skirts become the main items of our wardrobe. But with the onset of cold weather, many girls refuse these beautiful and feminine things in favor of not so elegant, but more practical jeans and pants.
The desire to preserve health is good, but it’s not always necessary to sacrifice beauty and elegance for the sake of warmth.
If you do not want to give up your favorite skirts even with the arrival of winter, then, surely, there are several models in your closet. Skirts from warm, dense fabrics - the best way to take care of their health, without changing the usual feminine style of dress.
In our today's article we would like to tell you more about the existing types of warm skirts: about the best materials, fashionable styles, as well as about how and what should be worn with autumn and winter skirts.
Popular styles
Since warm skirts are made of very dense materials, the choice of models is significantly limited. Consider some of the most successful styles for autumn and winter skirts.
- Pencil skirt - This is a win-win option for clothing for any time of the year. A simple, strict silhouette emphasizes the dignity of the figure, while hiding its flaws.
- A-line skirt - a classic kind of warm skirt. Usually has a midi or maxi length. It suits plump girls, as it masks those extra pounds in the hips, thanks to a slightly flared silhouette.
- Tatyanka Skirt - fluffy skirt with pleats, planted on a yoke. One of the most popular models in the last couple of seasons. It is best suited for slender young ladies, but such style is not contraindicated for pyshechkas - you just need to choose an elongated version.
Fabrics
To create warm skirts using both natural and synthetic materials. To make the products more nosy, they often choose a material that is a mixture of natural and artificial fibers. We will tell you more about the main types of materials used for sewing autumn and winter skirts:
- Wool. Natural wool skirts 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 quite rare. More often you can find models made of several types of materials, among which there is real or artificial fur.
- Bolon. Bolonian skirts are great clothes for winter walks in the fresh air. Bolon is a multilayer material that does not get wet and retains heat well. Particularly interesting are quilted models.
- Tweed. This kind of woolen fabric is great for sewing warm skirts. It has an unusual, relief texture. Bright skirts of the boucle tweed - a great way to diversify the winter wardrobe.
Models by season
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 feet warm, so for the cold season it is better to prefer the elongated model.m
However, if you live in a region with a mild climate or wear long outerwear, then mini-skirts may well be the winter option. Short warm skirts go well with both elegant boots and funny felt boots or uggs.
The most popular pattern for winter skirts is a cage in various variations.Plaid skirts are able to revive 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, still there are significantly more warm days this season than in winter. Therefore, all the girls have a great opportunity to flaunt their legs with short skirts. The length of the maxi still has time to get bored for the winter, so for the fall it is better to choose midi or mini models.
Autumn skirts are sewn from denser fabrics than summer models, but not from such heavy ones as winter ones. Usually it is denim, leather, corduroy or jacket fabric. Skirts from such materials are perfectly combined with raincoats, trench coats and coats - the usual outerwear for the off-season period.
Autumn is a time of interesting accessories and unusual shoes. At this time of the year, bright umbrellas, funny rubber boots, original scarves and gloves can complement your look.
Length
We usually choose the length of the skirt, based not only on the features of our figure, but also taking into account the weather outside the window. The warmest models of skirts usually have a length not exceeding the knee - these are the models that are considered optimal for the cold season..
Midi
For many girls and women, medium-length skirts are considered the most comfortable clothing for the cold season. They warm well, but, at the same time, allow you to actively move. Skirts to the knee, a few centimeters higher or lower, look equally good with both high boots and boots or half 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 chosen according to the type of figure. Skirts from dense materials on a wide yoke or corset belt look good.
Long
Long winter skirts are a great alternative to warm pants.
They allow you to opt out of several pairs of tights and a rally with a pile. Maxi skirts for quite a few years existed on the periphery of fashion, but now that fashion season in a row they become a real trend.
If women have already successfully mastered summer long skirts, the situation with winter models 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 for themselves a warm skirt, which will be one of a kind.
Crochet and knitting
Another option to create a skirt with your own hands is to remember the lessons of needlework and tie a warm thing with crochet or knitting. The method of mating depends on your skills and preferences. On the needles you can link straight and tight-fitting models with a pattern of braids, and crochet - fluffy openwork skirts.
The hook is usually used to create summer skirts - intricate patterns are better obtained from thin threads. But to work with wool needles are more suitable. Skirts, knitted on the needles, are very warm and lovely. Skilled craftswomen can knit complex, incredibly beautiful patterns.
Knitted skirts are better to wear with clothes made of fabric. The combination of "knitted skirt + knitted jacket" turns out pretty heavy.
What to wear?
In the cold season, many girls are pleased with the opportunity to wear bright tights, stockings and stockings. They not only do not give to freeze, but also give the image a little playfulness and mischief. Cropped and midi skirts go well with these wardrobe items.
Skirts of warm fabrics can be worn with cozy knitted sweaters, turtlenecks, sweatshirts with funny prints, jackets and vests. Outerwear can be any, but stylists recommend to combine long skirts with a short top, and short - with a longer one.
Winter and autumn accessories are no less stylish and beautiful than summer ones.It's time to buy some original hats, scarves, scarves, mittens and gloves.
