The options are endless when it comes to how to style a skirt. But if you're feeling unsure or don't know what to wear with it, this simple skirt styling guide is for you.

The Statement Skirt

Transform an ordinary outfit into something chic and sexy with a statement skirt. A bold print or vibrantly coloured skirt is a great way to make a statement in the office, and the perfect weapon for easy desk-to-dinner dressing. Explore our collection of gorgeous skirts in an array of colours, prints and fabrics that are sure to turn heads wherever you go.

Accessorise With A Belt

Add visual interest and accentuate your waist with a versatile belt that you can pair with other pieces in your wardrobe. A long skirt looks great with a wider belt, while shorter skirts look fantastic with thinner belts.

It’s All About The Shoes

Shoes can really make or break an outfit, especially if you are wearing a skirt. Tailor your shoe’s heel height to the specific skirt you’re wearing, while also being mindful of where you are going. Here at Motto Fashions, we are partial to a sneaker with a skirt – It's a really easy way to achieve an edgy, glamorous look. When wearing a sneaker with a skirt, be sure to show some ankle to create interest and balance in your proportions.

Knot Your Shirt

Don’t Forget A Jacket

Finally, add a jacket to your look for an extra layer of warmth and to add structure and lines to your outfit. The Euro Trench Coat is the ultimate spring jacket and looks so chic when worn with a midi skirt and basic top.
