Style tip: A floaty skirt + knit = cool

By  |  2 Comments

One of FiFi’s mantras for winter?
The sweater is the new jacket.
Meaning? The sweater is worn on its own. As the standout piece.
The look is oversized and voluminous.
This is great news for almond magnum eating afficionados such as my good self.
But sometimes the look can be too sloppy.
Or not feminine enough.

Enter the new styling trick of the week….

The big sweater* over the pretty skirt.
It could be a sheer skirt, a lace skirt or a pleated skirt.
It could be a print skirt or a skirt in a bright colour.
The defining feature? The skirt should be floaty, long and unstructured.
First seen at Celine for Spring Summer – see below-  it has now taken hold with the fashion set.
How do you wear it?
Add long boots, wedges, some kind of heel or even sneakers : You need shoes with substance. You need to balance the silhouette.
The idea is to mix your summer and winter wardrobes: Talk about an easy trans-seasonal look.
Oh la la : Yes, you can wear it now.
