In summer and spring, dresses and skirts become the main items of our wardrobe. But with the onset of cold weather, many girls abandon these beautiful and feminine things in favor of not so elegant, but more practical jeans and trousers.
The desire to maintain health is good, but sacrificing beauty and elegance for the sake of warmth is not always necessary.
If you do not want to give up your favorite skirts even with the advent of winter, then, for sure, there are several warmed models in your closet. Skirts made of warm, dense fabrics are the best way to take care of your health without changing the usual feminine style in clothes.
In our article today, we would like to talk more about the existing varieties of warm skirts: about the best materials, fashionable styles, as well as how and what to wear autumn and winter skirts with.
Popular styles
Since warm skirts are sewn from 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 clothing option 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. Suitable for chubby girls, as it disguises extra pounds in the hips, thanks to a slightly flared silhouette.
- Skirt-tatyanka - a fluffy skirt with pleats, planted on a yoke. One of the most popular models in the last couple of seasons. It is best suited to slender young ladies, but such a style is not contraindicated for the little daisies - you just need to choose the elongated option.
Fabrics
To create warm skirts, both natural and synthetic materials are used. To make products more socks, 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, so various additives are often present in the fabric. Woolen skirts can be woven or knitted.
- Fur. Completely fur skirts are quite rare. More often you can find patterns made from several types of materials, among which there is real or artificial fur.
- Bologna. Bologna skirts are great clothing for winter walks in the fresh air. Bologna is a multilayer material that does not get wet and retains heat well. Quilted models look especially interesting.
- Tweed. This type of woolen fabric is great for sewing warm skirts. It has an unusual, embossed texture. Bright tweed skirts are a great way to diversify your winter wardrobe.
Seasonal Models
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 legs warm, so for the cold season it is better to give preference to an elongated modelm
However, if you live in a region with a mild climate or wear long outerwear, then mini skirts may well be a winter option. Short warm skirts go well with elegant boots, and with funny boots or ugg boots.
The most popular pattern for winter skirts is a cage in various variations. Plaid skirts can revive even a boring office wardrobe, so at least one such model must be in the wardrobe of a business woman.
Fall
Although autumn usually does not spoil us with good weather, there are much more warm days in this season than in winter. Therefore, all the girls have a great opportunity to flaunt the last legs in short skirts. The maxi length will still have time to get bored during the winter, so for the fall it is better to choose a midi or mini model.
Autumn skirts are sewn from denser fabrics than summer models, but not from such heavy ones as winter ones. Usually it is denim, leather, velveteen or jacket fabric. Skirts made of such materials go well with raincoats, trench coats, and coats - regular outerwear for the off-season.
Autumn is the time for interesting accessories and unusual shoes. Bright umbrellas, funny rubber boots, original scarves and gloves can complement your look at this time of year.
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 no higher than 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 ankle boots.
The most popular models of warm MIDI skirts are the “pencil”, “trapeze”, “sun” and “half-sun”, as well as the “bell”. Such styles are very feminine, they perfectly emphasize all the advantages of appearance, provided that the model is selected according to the type of figure. Skirts made of dense materials look good on a wide yoke or corset belt.
Long
Long winter skirts are a great alternative to warm trousers.
They allow you to abandon several pairs of tights and breeches with a pile. Maxi skirts have existed on the periphery of fashion for quite some years, but for the fashion season in a row they have become a real trend.
If fashionistas have already successfully mastered summer long skirts, then with winter models this 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 the needle and thread are in a winning position. They can choose the fabric they like in the store and sew a warm skirt for themselves, which will be one of a kind.
Crocheted and knitting
Another option for creating a skirt with your own hands is to remember the lessons of needlework and crochet a warm thing or knitting. The way of knitting depends on your skills and preferences. On the knitting needles you can connect straight and tight-fitting models with a braid pattern, and crocheting - lush fishnet skirts.
A hook is usually used to create summer skirts - intricate patterns are best obtained from thin threads. But knitting needles are more suitable for working with wool. Knitted skirts are very warm and sweet. Experienced craftswomen can knit complex, incredibly beautiful patterns.
Knitted skirts are best worn with cloth clothes. The combination “knitted skirt + knitted jacket” is quite heavy.
What to wear?
In the cold season, many girls are happy with the opportunity to wear bright tights, stockings and knee-high socks. They not only prevent freezing, but also give the image a little playfulness and mischief. Cropped and midi skirts go well with these wardrobe items.
Skirts made of warm fabrics can be worn with cozy knitted sweaters, turtlenecks, sweatshirts with funny prints, cardigans and vests. Outerwear can be any, but stylists recommend combining long skirts with a short top, and short ones with a longer one.
Winter and autumn accessories are no less stylish and beautiful than summer ones. It's time to purchase some original hats, scarves, scarves, mittens and gloves.
