If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more If you’re sick of rotating jeans, trousers and thermal leggings, it’s time to bare (stockinged) legs and embrace skirt season. Forget slipping on a pelmet or a flimsy cotton prairie style, autumn’s offering is plush with rich wool, thick dark denim and soft luxe suede, all of which will keep you toasty as the mercury dips. From the return of the knitted skirts to denim and suede, here are the three new season styles to slip into now. Consider A-line jumper skirts the elegant alternative to wearing your long johns outside. That’s right, woollies that reach almost to your ankles are finally in. If you really feel the cold, pair yours with a matching knit or cardigan – my favourite cosy oxblood co-ord comes from Jigsaw. Or contrast the soft slack look of wool by tucking a cotton long-sleeved top or a white sharp-collared shirt into the waistband. The best tip to zhuzh up a slouchy look for party season? Big bling. Textured Jersey A Line Skirt Grey Knitted Midi Skirt Pure Merino Wool Knitted Midi Skirt Washable Milano Ribbed Flare Skirt £34.90 Shop Knitted Jacquard Skirt You likely have one of these tucked in a drawer already. But if it’s a straight-cut style in a light faded wash, forget it – this look will only age you. The most flattering versions this season come in dark indigo-blue hues, and with panels, pleats and Western-inspired yoke waistbands for a flourish of interest. Chunky knitwear, thermal polonecks, shirting and your finest sparkly top will all team nicely. Denim Basque Midi Skirt Ivy Pleated Denim Midi Skirt Collection Denim Midi Skirt £59.99 Shop Jersey Denim Pull-On Maxi Skirt Dark Blue 100% Cotton Belted Midi Denim Pleated Skirt This is the trending fabric of the moment. The big brown suede takeover (BBST) has already dominated the bag, jacket and shoe departments on the high street – and now it has come for your skirt. Real or faux styles in warm neutral tones will look and feel effortlessly luxurious, plus suede is a fabric that skims over lumps and bumps, rather than clinging. If you already like leather, make this your next wardrobe update. Meliora Skirt - Camel Macy Suedette A-Line Midi Skirt Suedette Full Midaxi Skirt - Brown Suedette Maxi A-Line Skirt Together Tan Suede Midi Skirt £71.60 Shop You may be thinking, the 80s called, they want their skirt back! But today’s pencils, as seen on the catwalks of Prada and Saint Laurent, are far more forgiving than the uncomfortable office-ready styles of the past. There’s no need to take short, stunted steps because these are stretchy and column shaped, rather than tapered, with vents for freer movement. The trending length is mid shin or below the knee, rather than above it. And obviously forget stilettos - they’ve long been declared dead in fashion circles. A knee-high boot that cuts under the hem of the skirt will make you look just as long and sleek. Eliza Wool Blend Tailored Pencil Skirt Dark Green Midi Pencil Skirt Claudie Pierlot Yumi Brown 100% Cotton Midi Skirt With Belt And Split Hem Pleated, buckle-waisted kilts are big again this season: the English-Bulgarian label Chopova Lowena ignited fashion’s Highland fling with this silhouette at London Fashion Week and it’s now a sartorial staple for autumn. Gen Z wear theirs ultra-short - but midi and maxi lengths are the sweet spot and will prevent you from looking school-girlish.
